F&R Contractors Corp. and F&R Contractors LLC, Civil Action No. 3:15– cv–01666. This settlement resolves the United States’ allegations that Defendants F&R Contractors Corp. and F&R Contractors LLC violated the Clean Water Act (‘‘Act’’) and its implementing regulations and permits at three construction sites in Puerto Rico operated by the Defendants. The United States’ claims against Defendants allege the: (1) Discharge of stormwater pollutants to waters of the United States without the requisite National Pollution Discharge Elimination System permit, in violation of Section 301 of the Act; and (2) failure to implement the conditions of the Federal Construction General Permit, issued pursuant to Section 402 of the Act, for the discharge of stormwater pollutants from construction sites. This settlement is binding on both Defendants and F&R Construction Group, Inc., a voluntary party to the proposed Consent Decree (collectively, ‘‘the Settling Parties’’). The proposed Consent Decree will require the Settling Parties to implement comprehensive injunctive relief to ensure compliance with the Clean Water Act and applicable permit requirements at all construction sites operated by the Settling Parties. The injunctive relief includes creating key company-wide and site-specific staffing positions to oversee and implement a stormwater compliance program, adopting companywide practices to hold preconstruction meetings and inspections, and providing comprehensive stormwater compliance training for employees and contractors with operational responsibilities at a construction site. The Settling Parties will also pay a $500,000 civil penalty. The publication of this notice opens a period for public comment on the Consent Decree.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: DEPARTMENT OF LABOR I. Background Mine Safety and Health Administration 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. Further, section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811 authorizes the Secretary to develop, promulgate, and revise as may be appropriate, improved mandatory health or safety standards for the protection of life and prevention of injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal mines. Accidents involving falls of roof, face, and rib in underground mines or falls of highwall in surface mines, historically, have been among the leading causes of injuries and deaths. Prevention or control of falls of roof, face, and rib is uniquely difficult because of the variety of conditions encountered in mines that can affect the stability of various types of strata and the changing nature of the forces affecting ground stability at any given operation and time. Roof and rock bolts and accessories are an integral part of ground control systems and are used to prevent the fall of roof, face, and rib. Advancements in technology of roof and rock bolts and accessories have aided in reducing the hazards associated with falls of roof, face, and rib. The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) publication ‘‘Standard Specification for Roof and Rock Bolts and Accessories’’ is a consensus standard used throughout the United States. It contains specifications for the chemical, mechanical, and [OMB Control No. 1219–0121] Proposed Extension of Information Collection; Safety Standards for Roof Bolts in Metal and Nonmetal Mines and Underground Coal Mines Mine Safety and Health Administration, Labor. ACTION: Request for public comments. AGENCY: 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 collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). 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. Currently, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is soliciting comments on the information collection for Safety Standards for Roof Bolts in Metal and Nonmetal Mines and Underground Coal Mines.
