Unemployment Compensation program
of 2008 to participate in a
reemployment program that helps them
start their own businesses. This is
known as the Self-Employment
Assistance (SEA) program. Currently, a
handful of States use this reemployment
program, for which a minor amount of
information (claimants entering the
program and weeks and amounts paid)
is collected under OMB Control Number
1205–0010. With the expansion of this
program to something that could
involve more people and with a need to
collect data documenting State activities
and results, the ETA seeks an extension
of the OMB approval under Control
Number 1205–0490 for a reporting
instrument specific to the SEA 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 1205–0490. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
September 30, 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 June 22, 2012 (77 FR 37715).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within 30 days of publication of
this notice in the Federal Register. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1205–
0490. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;

• Minimize the burden of the

electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of

Accidents
involving falls of roof, face, and rib in
underground mines or falls of highwall
in surface mines have historically been
among the leading causes of mining
injuries and deaths. Prevention or
control of falls of roof, face, and rib is
uniquely difficult because of the variety
of conditions encountered in mines that
can affect the stability of various types
of strata and the changing nature of the
forces affecting ground stability at any
given operation and time. Roof and rock
bolts and accessories are an integral part
of ground control systems and are used
to prevent the fall of roof, face, and rib.
Advancements in technology of roof and
rock bolts and accessories have aided in
reducing the hazards associated with
falls of roof, face, and rib. This ICR
addresses recordkeeping requirements
associated with regulations 30 CFR
56.3203, 57.3203, and 75.204(a) and
(f)(6).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
