Download as PDF 19024 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 60 / Thursday, March 28, 2013 / Notices Petitioner: The Doe Run Company, 6854 Hwy KK, Bunker, Missouri 63629. Mine: Fletcher Mine, MSHA I.D. No. 23–00409, located in Reynolds County, Missouri. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 57.11052(d) (Refuge areas). Modification Request: The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to permit the use of an alternative method of compliance to maintain compressed air cylinders in lieu of compressed air lines in refuge chambers. The petitioner states that: (1) The refuge chamber would be provided with compressed air cylinders and a suitable regulator as well as always remain in the fresh air circuit of the mine’s ventilation. (2) Bottled water will be maintained in the refuge chamber in lieu of waterlines as required by the standard. (3) The refuge chambers are provided as a safety precaution in the event miners are unable to escape from the mine in an emergency. (4) Three compressed air cylinders and bottled water for the refuge chamber will be available if needed during the mine emergency. (5) The chamber will always remain in the fresh air, maintaining an acceptable air quality for an indefinite time period. Air and water lines may be damaged in the event of a mine emergency. The petitioner asserts that having compressed air cylinders, the refuge chamber in the fresh air circuit of mine’s ventilation, and bottled water in the chamber, will always guarantee the miners affected no less than the same measure of protection afforded by the standard.

AGENCY: SUMMARY: The Retirement Services, Office of Personnel Management (OPM), offers the general public and other Federal agencies the opportunity to comment on revised information collection request (ICR) 3206–0226, It’s Time to Sign Up for Direct Deposit or Direct Express. As required by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, (Pub. L. 104–13, 44 U.S.C. chapter 35) as amended by the Clinger-Cohen Act (Pub. L. 104–106), OPM is soliciting comments for this collection. The information collection was previously published in the Federal Register on November 2, 2012, at Volume 77 FR 66190, allowing for a 60-day public comment period. No comments were received for this information collection. The purpose of this notice is to allow an additional 30 days for public comments. The Office of Management and Budget is particularly interested in comments that: 1. Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of functions of OPM, including whether the information will have practical utility; 2. Evaluate the accuracy of OPM’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; 3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and 4. Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who E:\FR\FM\28MRN1.SGM 28MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 60 / Thursday, March 28, 2013 / Notices are to respond, including through 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: RI 38–128 is primarily used by OPM to give recent retirees the opportunity to waive Direct Deposit of their annuity payments. The form is sent only if the separating agency did not give the retiring employee this election opportunity. This form may also be used to enroll in Direct Deposit, which was its primary use before Public Law 104–134 was passed. This law requires OPM to make all recurring benefits payments electronically to beneficiaries who live where Direct Deposit is available. Beneficiaries who do not enroll in the Direct Deposit Program will be enrolled in Direct Express.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM’s Federal Investigative Services (FIS), Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOI/PA) office proposes use of this optional form (INV 100) to standardize collection of data elements specific to FOIA and Privacy Act record requests submitted to FIS. Current FOIA and Privacy Act record requests are submitted to FIS–FOI/PA in a format chosen by the requester, yet consistent with the published regulations at 5 CFR 294 and 5 CFR 297, respectively. Often the requests are missing data elements that require contact with the requester by mail, thereby adding time to the process. Standardization of the access process will increase the volume of perfected requests received. This will strike an appropriate balance between the public’s burden in submitting requests and FIS–FOI/PA’s ability to accurately identify sought records and to verify the identity of the Privacy Act requester, ensuring that protected records are not inappropriately released to third parties. It is estimated that 16,626 individuals will respond annually. The INV 100 takes approximately 5 minutes to complete. The estimated annual burden is 1,386 hours. The 60-day Federal Register Notice was published in the Federal Register on August 31, 2012, (Federal Register Notices/Vol. 77, Number 170, pages 53237–53238) as required by 5 CFR 1320, affording the public an opportunity to comment on the form. Four comments were received from the National Archives and Records Administration’s (NARA) Office of Government Information Services (OGIS), recommending verbiage clarity in Section 5–7. OGIS recommended that in Section 5, which is optional, OPM should provide an example of an E:\FR\FM\28MRN1.SGM 28MRN1
