The
Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption
for Cross-Trades of Securities by Index
and Model-Driven Funds permits crosstrades of securities between index and
model-driven funds managed by
investment managers and among such
funds and certain large accounts to
which such investment managers act as
a trading adviser in connection with a
specific portfolio-restructuring program.
To ensure managers have complied with
exemption requirements, the DOL has
included in the exemption certain
recordkeeping and disclosure
obligations designed to safeguard plan
assets by periodically providing
information to plan fiduciaries, who
generally must be independent about
the cross-trading program.
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 Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1210–0115. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
August 31, 2012; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
For additional information, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on April 5, 2012 (77 FR 20650).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at

financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be

extension of the information collection
for 30 CFR 44.9, 44.10, and 44.11. OMB
last approved this information
collection request on January 8, 2010.
The package expires on January 31,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 811(c), provides that a
mine operator or a representative of
miners may petition the Secretary of
Labor (Secretary) to modify the
application of a mandatory safety
standard. A petition for modification
may be granted if the Secretary
determines (1) that an alternative
method of achieving the results of the
standard exists and that it will
guarantee, at all times, no less than the
same measure of protection for the
miners affected as that afforded by the
standard, or (2) that the application of
the standard will result in a diminution
of safety to the miners affected.
Upon receipt of a petition, MSHA
publishes a notice in the Federal
Register advising interested parties that
they may provide comments or other
relevant information on the proposed
modification. Thereafter, MSHA
conducts an investigation to determine
the merits of the petition for the purpose
of deciding whether or not to grant it
and, if granted, whether there is a need
for any additional terms or conditions.
This information collection addresses
the recordkeeping associated with 30
CFR 49.9, 44.10, and 44.11.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of the information collection
related to this safety standard on
petitions for modification of mandatory
safety standards. MSHA is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
MSHA’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Suggest methods to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Address the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses) to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond.
