Fifteen
States (see Appendix) qualify to receive
a share of the $10,428,273 available for
incentive grant awards under WIA
section 503. These funds, which were
contributed by the Department of
Education from appropriations for the
Adult Education and Family Literacy
Act (AEFLA), are available for the
eligible States to use through June 30,
2015, to support innovative workforce
development and education activities
that are authorized under title IB
(Workforce Investment Systems) or title
II (AEFLA) of WIA, or under the Carl D.

Perkins Career and Technical Education
Act of 2006 (Perkins IV), 20 U.S.C. 2301
et seq., as amended by Pub. L. 109–270.
In order to qualify for a grant award, a
State must have exceeded its
performance levels for WIA title IB and
adult education (AEFLA). (Perkins IV
removed the requirement that funds be
reserved to carry out section 503 of WIA
which only referenced P.L. 105–332
(Perkins III); thus, the Department of
Labor (DOL) and the Department of
Education (ED) no longer consider
States’ performance levels under
Perkins IV in determining eligibility for
incentive grants under Section 503 of
WIA.) The performance related goals
used to determine a State’s eligibility
status include: employment after
training and related services, retention
in employment, and improvements in
literacy levels, among other measures.
After review of the performance data
submitted by States to DOL and to ED,
each Department determined for its
program(s) which States exceeded their
performance levels (the Appendix at the
bottom of this notice lists the eligibility
of each State by program). These lists
were compared, and States that
exceeded their performance levels for
both programs are eligible to apply for
and receive an incentive grant award.
Due to the fact that there were
insufficient funds to award the
minimum amount mentioned in WIA
section 503, DOL used a formula where
95 percent of the total available funds
were distributed evenly among all
eligible states, and the additional five
percent was determined by the
Department of Labor and the
Department of Education based on the
provisions in 20 CFR 666.230(c)(1), and
is proportional to the total funding
received by these States for WIA title IB
and AEFLA programs.
The States eligible to apply for
incentive grant awards and the amounts
they are eligible to receive are listed in

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Mine Safety and Health
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: 60-Day Notice.
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to assure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed.
DATES: All comments must be
postmarked or received by midnight
Eastern Standard Time on July 23, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the
information collection requirements of
this notice may be sent by any of the
methods listed below.
• Federal E-Rulemaking Portal:
https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the
on-line instructions for submitting
comments for docket number [MSHA–
2013–0009].
• Regular Mail or Hand Delivery:
MSHA, Office of Standards,
Title 30 CFR 75.1716, 75.1716 1 and
75.1716 3 require operators of
underground coal mines to provide
MSHA notification before mining under
bodies of water and to obtain a permit
to mine under a body of water if, in the
judgment of the Secretary, it is
sufficiently large to constitute a hazard
to miners. The regulation is necessary to
prevent the inundation of underground
coal mines with water that has the
potential of drowning miners. Section
103(h) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 813,
authorizes MSHA to collect information
necessary to carry out its duty in
protecting the safety and health of
miners.
The coal mine operator submits an
application for the permit to the District
Manager in whose district the mine is
located. Applications contain the name
and address of the mine; projected
mining and ground support plans; a
mine map showing the location of the
river, stream, lake or other body of water
and its relation to the location of all
working places; and a profile map
showing the type of strata and the
distance in elevation between the coal
bed and the water involved. MSHA has
provided an exemption from
notification and permit application for
mine operators where the projected

mining is under any water reservoir
constructed by a Federal agency as of
December 30, 1969, and where the
operator is required by such agency to
operate in a manner that adequately
protects the safety of miners. The
exemption for such mining is addressed
by 30 CFR 75.1716 and 75.1717.
MSHA also encourages a mine
operator to provide more information in
an application. When the operator files
an application for a permit, in addition
to the information required under 30
CFR 75.1716–3, MSHA recommends
mine operators include a map of the
active areas of the mine under the body
of water showing the following: Bottom
of coal elevations (minimum 10-ft
contour intervals); the limits of the body
of water and the estimated quantity of
water in the pool; the limits of the
proposed ‘‘safety zone’’ within which
precautions will be taken; overburden
thickness (depth of cover) contours;
corehole locations; and known faults,
lineaments, and other geologic features.
If the body of water is contained
within an overlying mine, then MSHA
recommends a map of the overlying
mine showing bottom of coal elevations
(minimum 10-ft contour intervals),
when available; corehole locations; the
limits of the body of water with the
estimated quantity of water in the pool;
and, interburden to active mine below
be provided. Operators are also
encouraged to submit other information
such as the methods used to estimate
the quantity of water in the pool;
borehole logs, including geotechnical
information (RQD, fracture logs, etc.) if
available; rock mechanics data on the
overburden, interburden, mine roof, and
mine floor, if available; mining height of
the seam being mined; pillar and floor
stability analyses for the active mine;
