(3) The pump installation will be equipped with a water level indicator located at the pump electrical controls so that the water level at the pump can be determined before the pump motor is restarted. (4) All high- and low-water probes and float circuits associated with the pump will be MSHA-accepted intrinsically safe, and will be installed and maintained in accordance with MSHA acceptance. (5) All surface installed equipment associated with the pump will be accessible for inspection. (6) A functional test will be conducted weekly for the groundedphase protective device(s) to determine if it is operating properly. A record of the tests will be kept for one year and will be made available for review by MSHA. (7) Before installation and operation of any future pumps, not including replacement pump(s) for the pump in this proposed petition, the petitioner will notify the District Manager for approval prior to installation and operation. (8) Implementation of the proposed decision and order will not begin until MSHA has conducted an inspection of the pump and associated electrical installation to ensure that the terms and conditions of the decision have been complied with. (9) Within 60 days after this petition for modification is granted, the petitioner will submit to the District Manager proposed revisions for the approved 30 CFR part 48 training plan that will specify task training for all electricians who perform electric work on this pump. The training will include instructions in the following elements: (a) Hazards that could exist if the water level falls below the electric connections of the pumps and pump motor; and (b) Safe pump restart procedures when the water is 3 feet above the electric components and pump motor. The petitioner asserts that adhering to the proposed requirements in this petition for modification will guarantee the same measure of protection as the existing standard.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DATES: PO 00000 Frm 00108 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36563 Title: Generic Clearance for the Collection of Qualitative Feedback on Agency Service Delivery. Abstract: The information collection activity will gather qualitative customer and stakeholder feedback in an efficient, timely manner, in accordance with the Administration’s commitment to improving service delivery. By qualitative feedback PBGC means information that provides useful insights on perceptions and opinions, but the information requests are not statistical surveys that yield quantitative results generalizable to the population of interest. This feedback will provide insights into customer or stakeholder perceptions, experiences and expectations, provide an early warning of issues with service, or focus attention on areas where communication, training or changes in operations might improve delivery of products or services. These collections will allow for ongoing, collaborative and actionable communications between PBGC and its customers and stakeholders. These collections also allow feedback to contribute directly to the improvement of program management. Feedback collected under this generic clearance will provide useful information, but it will not yield data that can be generalized to the overall population. This type of generic clearance for qualitative information will not be used for quantitative information collections that are designed to yield reliably actionable results, such as monitoring trends over time or documenting program performance. Such data uses require more rigorous designs that address: • The target population to which generalizations will be made, • the sampling frame, • the sample design (including stratification and clustering), • the precision requirements or power calculations that justify the proposed sample size, • the expected response rate, • methods for assessing potential non-response bias, • the protocols for data collection, and • any testing procedures that were or will be undertaken prior fielding the study. Depending on the degree of influence the results are likely to have, such collections may still be eligible for submission for other generic mechanisms that are designed to yield quantitative results.
