Correction
In the Federal Register of Friday,
December 22, 2017, in FR Doc. 17–
27530, on page 60768, in the third
column, correct the first paragraph to
read:
Thus, the national monthly AEWR rate for
all range occupations in the H–2A program
in 2018 is calculated by multiplying the full
AEWR for calendar year 2017 by the 2018
ECI adjustment ($1544.07 × 1.026 =
$1,584.22). Accordingly, any employer
certified or seeking certification for range
workers must pay each worker a wage that
is at least the highest of the monthly AEWR
of $1,584.22, the agreed-upon collective
bargaining wage, or the applicable minimum
wage imposed by Federal or State legislation
or judicial action, at the time work is
performed on or after the effective date of
this notice.

ACTION:
The Department of Labor
(DOL) is submitting the Mine Safety and
Health Administration (MSHA)
sponsored information collection
request (ICR) titled, ‘‘Certification and
Qualification to Examine, Test, Operate
Hoists, and to Perform Other Duties,’’ 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). Public
comments on the ICR are invited.
DATES: The OMB will consider all
written comments that agency receives
on or before February 1, 2018.
ADDRESSES: A copy of this ICR with
applicable supporting documentation;
including a description of the likely
respondents, proposed frequency of
response, and estimated total burden

SUMMARY:
PO 00000
Frm 00055
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Certification and Qualification to
Examine, Test, Operate Hoists, and to
Perform Other Duties information
collection. More specifically, this ICR
pertains to the certification of certain
persons to perform specific
examinations and tests. This ICR also
seeks to extend PRA approval for
procedures under which a coalmine
operator is required to maintain a list of
certified and qualified persons, and to
develop an approved training plan for
hosting engineers or host operators. A
respondent uses the Safety and Health
Activity Certification or Hoisting
Engineer Qualification Request, Form
MSHA–5000–41, in order to comply
with the subject information collection
requirements. Federal Mine Safety &
Health Act of 1977 section 103(h)
authorizes this information collection.
See 30 U.S.C. 813(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
