anchor under option 1, or from the
section transformer to the shuttle car
anchor under option 2, and from the
section transformer to the distribution
box and to the shuttle cars’ anchors
under option 3.
(3) During each production shift,
persons designated by the operator will
visually examine the trailing cables to
ensure that the cables are in safe
operating condition and that the
instantaneous settings of the specially
calibrated circuit breaker settings do not
have seals broken or removed. The
weekly inspection examination record
of this requirement will be kept by the
operator and made available to an
authorized representative of the
Secretary and to the miners in the San
Juan Mine 1.
(4) Trailing cables that are not in safe
operating condition will be removed
from service immediately and repaired
or replaced.
(5) Each splice or repair in the trailing
cables to the inline breaker box,
distribution box and shuttle car will be
made in workman-like manner and in
accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer of the splice or repair kit.
The outer jacket of each splice or repair
will be vulcanized with flame-resistant
material or made with material that has
been accepted by MSHA as flameresistant.
(6) If the mining methods or operating
procedures cause or contribute to the
damage of any trailing cable, the cable
will be removed from service
immediately, repaired or replaced, and
additional precautions will be taken to
ensure that in the future, the cable is
protected and maintained in safe
operating condition.
(7) Permanent warning labels will be
installed and maintained on the cover(s)
of each specially calibrated circuit
breaker indicating that the cable can
only be connected to a circuit breaker
that is set to trip at its pre-determined
instantaneous value. The labels will
warn miners not to change or alter the
sealed short-circuit settings.
(8) The petitioner’s proposed
alternative method will not be
implemented until all miners who have
been designated to examine the integrity
of seals, verify the short-circuit settings,
and examine trailing cables for defects
and damage have received training.
(9) Within 60 days after the proposed
decision and order becomes final, the
petitioner will submit proposed
revisions for its approved 30 CFR part
48 training plan to the District Manager
for the area where the mine is located.
The proposed revisions will specify task
training for miners designated to verify
that the short-circuit settings of the

specially calibrated circuit interrupting
device(s) that protect the affected
trailing cables do not exceed the
specified setting(s). The training will
include:
(a) The hazards of setting short-circuit
interrupting device(s) too high to
adequately protect the trailing cables;
and
(b) How to verify that the circuit
interrupting device(s) protecting the
trailing cable(s) are properly set and
maintained.
The petitioner asserts that the
proposed alternative method will at all
times provide an equal or higher degree
of safety as provided by the existing
standard.

Proposed Extension of the Approval of
Information Collection Requirements
ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure 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. Currently, the Office
of Workers’ Compensation Programs is
soliciting comments concerning the
proposed collection: Medical Travel
Refund Request (OWCP–957). A copy of
the proposed information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed below in the addresses
section of this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I.
Background: The Office of Workers’

agency responsible for administration of
the Federal Employees’ Compensation
Act (FECA), 5 U.S.C. 8101 et seq., the

U.S.C. 901 et seq., and the Energy
Employees Occupational Illness
Compensation Program Act of 2000
(EEOICPA), 42 U.S.C. 7384 et seq. All
three of these statutes require that
OWCP reimburse beneficiaries for travel
expenses for covered medical treatment.
In order to determine whether amounts
requested as travel expenses are
appropriate, OWCP must receive certain
data elements, including the signature
of the physician for medical expenses
claimed under the BLBA. Form OWCP–
957 is the standard format for the
collection of these data elements. The
regulations implementing these three
statutes allow for the collection of
information needed to enable OWCP to
determine if reimbursement requests for
travel expenses should be paid. This
information collection is currently
approved for use through October 31,
2013.
II. Review Focus: The Department of
Labor is particularly interested in
comments which:
* 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;
* enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and
* minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
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.
III. Current Actions: The Department
of Labor seeks approval for the
extension of this information collection
in order to carry out its responsibility to
determine if requests for reimbursement
for out-of-pocket expenses incurred
