VII. Statutory Authority
NEPA [42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.] requires
that Federal agencies conduct an
environmental analysis of their
proposed actions to determine if the
actions may significantly affect the
human environment. In addition, as
required by NEPA, the Bureau of
Reclamation analyzed the potential
direct, indirect, and cumulative
environmental effects that may result
from the implementation of the
alternatives, which may include, but are
not limited to, the following areas of
potential impact:
a. Surface water and groundwater;
b. Energy generation and use by CVP
and SWP;
c. Biological resources, aquatic and
terrestrial resources;
d. Land use, including agriculture;
e. Recreation.
f. Socioeconomics;
g. Environmental justice;
h. Air quality;
i. Soils and geology;
j. Visual resources;
k. Cultural resources;
l. Public health; and
m. Indian trust assets.
All alternatives and the Second Basis
of Comparison were analyzed assuming
conditions at Year 2030 with associated
climate change and sea level rise.
VIII. Public Review of DEIS
The notice of availability of the DEIS
is being distributed to interested
agencies, stakeholder organizations, and
individuals that participated in the
scoping process and subsequent public
involvement activities. This distribution
provides an opportunity for interested
parties to express their views regarding
the environmental effects of the project,
and to ensure that the information
pertinent to implementation of the
project is provided to cooperating
agencies. Copies of the DEIS are
available for public review at the Bureau
of Reclamation, Bay-Delta Office, 801 I
Street, Suite 140, Sacramento, CA
95814–2536; and Bureau of
Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region,
Regional Library, 2800 Cottage Way,

Occupational Noise Exposure
ACTION:
Notice.
The Department of Labor
(DOL) is submitting the Mine Safety and
Health Administration (MSHA)
sponsored information collection
request (ICR) titled, ‘‘Occupational
Noise Exposure,’’ to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval for continued use,
without change, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA), 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. Public
comments on the ICR are invited.
DATES: The OMB will consider all
written comments that agency receives
on or before August 31, 2015.
ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with
supporting documentation; including a
description of the likely respondents,
proposed frequency of response, and
estimated total burden may be obtained
free of charge from the RegInfo.gov Web
site at https://www.reginfo.gov/public/

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00046
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
This ICR seeks to extend PRA
authority for the Occupational Noise
Exposure information collection
requirements codified in regulations 30
CFR part 62. Noise is a harmful physical
agent and one of the most pervasive
health hazards in mining. Repeated
exposure to high levels of sound over
time causes occupational noise-induced
hearing loss (NIHL), a serious and often
profound physical impairment in
mining, with far-reaching psychological
and social effects. NIHL can be
distinguished from aging and other
factors that can contribute to hearing
loss, and it can be prevented. According
to the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health, NIHL
is among the top ten leading
occupational illnesses and injuries.
Records of miner exposures to noise
are necessary so that mine operators and
the MSHA can evaluate the need for and
effectiveness of engineering controls,
administrative controls, and personal
protective equipment to protect miners
from harmful levels of noise that can
result in hearing loss. The Agency
believes, however, that extensive
records are not needed for this purpose.
The subject information collection
requirements are part of a performanceoriented approach to monitoring. Miner
hearing examination records enable
mine operators and the MSHA to ensure
controls in use are effective in
preventing NIHL for individual miners.
Training records confirm miners receive
information necessary to become active
participants in hearing conservation
efforts. Federal Mine Safety and Health

Act of 1977 sections 101(a)(6) and
103(c) and (h) authorize this
information collection. See 30 U.S.C.
811(a)(6); 813(c), (h).
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 1219–0120.
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, 2015. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes 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
May 11, 2015 (80 FR 26953).
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 thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1219–0120. 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

I. Abstract
The NASA Contractor Financial
Management Reporting System is the
basic financial medium for contractor
reporting of estimated and incurred
costs, providing essential data for
projecting costs and hours to ensure that
contractor performance is realistically
planned and supported by dollar and
labor resources. The data provided by
these reports is an integral part of the
Agency’s accrual accounting and cost
based budgeting system. Respondents
are reimbursed for associated cost to
provide the information, per their
negotiated contract price and associated
terms of the contract. There are no ‘‘total
capital and start-up’’ or ‘‘total operation
and maintenance and purchase of
services’’ costs associated since NASA
policy requires that data reported is
generated from the contractors’ existing
system. The contractors’ internal
management system shall be relied
upon to the maximum extent possible.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection.
They will also become a matter of
public record.
II. Method of Collection
NASA collects this information
electronically and that is the preferred
manner, however information may also
be collected via mail or fax.
III. Data
Title: NASA Contractor Financial
Management Reports.
OMB Number: 2700–0003.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit, not-for-profit institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
800.
Estimated Time per Response: 9 hrs.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 86,000.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $0.
IV Request for Comments
Comments are invited on: (1) Whether
the proposed collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance
of the functions of NASA, including
whether the information collection has
practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
NSA’s estimate of the burden (including
hours and cost) of the proposed
collection of information; (3) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of
information on respondents.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for OMB
approval of this information collection.
