Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).
WHD staff
use the Employment Information Form,
Form WH–3, as a guide for recording
information complainants (e.g., current
and former employees, unions, and
competitor employers) provide about
alleged violations of agencyadministered labor standards.
Complainants generally provide the
information requested on the form to
WHD staff over the telephone or in
person. WHD staff use the information
to determine whether the agency has
jurisdiction to investigate the alleged
violation(s). When the WHD schedules
a complaint-based investigation, the
agency makes the completed Form WH–
3 part of the investigation case file.
Where the information provided does
not support a potential WHD
enforcement action, complainants are
advised and referred to the appropriate
agency for further assistance.
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 that 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 1235–0021.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
August 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. It should also be noted
that existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
April 17, 2013 (78 FR 22912).
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

consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1235–
0021. 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;
• 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 submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Jkt 229001
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes
MSHA to collect information necessary
to carry out its duty in protecting the
safety and health of miners.
Compressed-air receivers and other
unfired pressure vessels must be
inspected by inspectors holding a valid
National Board Commission and in
accordance with the applicable chapters
of the National Board Inspection Code,
a Manual for Boiler and Pressure
Vessels Inspectors, 1979. Safety defects
found on compressed-air receivers and
other unfired pressure vessels have
caused injuries and fatalities in the
mining industry.

Sfmt 4703
Records of inspections must be kept
in accordance with the requirements of
the National Board Inspection Code and
the records must be made available to
the Secretary or an authorized
representative.
Fired pressure vessels (boilers) must
be equipped with water level gauges,
pressure gauges, automatic pressurerelief valves, blowdown piping and
other safety devices approved by the
American Society of Mechanical
Engineers (ASME) to protect against
hazards from overpressure, flameouts,
fuel interruptions and low water level.
Records of inspection and repairs
must be retained by the mine operator
in accordance with the requirements of
the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Code, 1977, and the National Board
Inspection Code (progressive records—
no limit on retention time) and shall be
made available to the Secretary or an
authorized representative.
Operators must inspect equipment,
machinery, and tools that are to be used
during a shift for safety defects before
the equipment is placed in operation.
Defects affecting safety are required to
be corrected in a timely manner. In
instances where the defect makes
continued operation of the equipment
hazardous to persons, the equipment
must be removed from service, tagged to
identify that it is out of use, and
repaired before use is resumed.
Safety defects on self-propelled
mobile equipment account for many
injuries and fatalities in the mining
industry. Inspection of this equipment
prior to use is required to ensure safe
operation. The equipment operator is
required to make a visual and
operational check of the various primary
operating systems that affect safety,
such as brakes, lights, horn, seatbelts,
tires, steering, back-up alarm,
windshield, cab safety glass, rear and
side view mirrors, and other safety and
health related items.
Any defects found are required to be
either corrected immediately, or
reported to and recorded by the mine
operator prior to the timely correction.
A record is not required if the defect is
corrected immediately, i.e. a defect that
the operator can fix without a mechanic
such as a light bulb that needs turned
tighter. The precise format in which the
record is kept is left to the discretion of
the mine operator. Reports of
uncorrected defects are required to be
recorded by the mine operator and kept
at the mine office from the date the
defects are recorded, until the defects
are corrected.
A competent person designated by the
operator must examine each working
place at least once each shift for
