SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOL
seeks OMB approval to conduct an
information collection as part of a pilot
study to determine how to measure
workers’ voice in mining workplaces
under the jurisdiction of the MSHA. The
DOL working definition for voice in the
workplace is workers’ ability to access
information on their rights in the
workplace, their understanding of those
rights, and their ability to exercise these
rights without fear of discrimination or
retaliation. Voice in the workplace is a
key outcome goal for the Secretary of
Labor and part of her vision of good jobs
for everyone. A separate concurrent
effort will measure workers’ voice in

workplaces under the jurisdiction of the
Wage and Hour Division and
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration. Measuring voice among
miners, however, poses unique data
collection challenges, including
implementing a survey in a setting that
feels non-threatening to mine workers,
and asking questions in a format that
reflects mining community cultures and
practices. The DOL seeks to perform a
pilot study to investigate the efficacy of
different data collection methods and to
develop a survey instrument that is
appropriate for the mining community.
The primary research question is what
measures of voice and perceived noncompliance, combined with what modes
of data collection, could be best used to
track MSHA’s worker-protection
outreach activity? This ICR covers a set
two or three small-scale pilot data
collections. Data collection for this
effort will employ two or three
strategies: (1) Submission of paper
questionnaires to be filled out by
individual mine workers during offsite
mining-related training sessions, (2)
recruitment of miners by using radio
and paper advertisements, and (3) a
mail or phone survey. The DOL is
currently assessing the feasibility of
each method prior to implementation.
For example, implementation of a
phone or mail survey will depend on
the availability of a valid list of miners.
A maximum of 125 respondents will be
surveyed under each collection mode
for 375 maximum respondents for the
overall effort.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a valid OMB Control Number.

The ETA
is requesting clearance for an
information collection to conduct site
visits to Job Corps centers and a survey
of center directors for a process study of
the Job Corps program. The study seeks
to explore and identify associations
between centers’ practices and their
performance on a range of relevant
outcomes, including gains in
foundational academic skills during
students’ time on center; completion of
relevant academic and career technical
programs; attainment of credentials; and
placement and earnings after students
leave the center. The ETA expects that
the study’s results can be used for peerto-peer learning, technical assistance,
and development of performance
measurement systems.
