Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 227 / Monday, November 26, 2018 / Notices
I. Background
The sinking of slopes and shafts is a
particularly hazardous operation where
conditions change drastically in short
periods of time. Explosive methane and
other harmful gases can be expected to
infiltrate the work environment at any
time. The working environment is
typically a confined area in close
proximity to moving equipment.
Accordingly, 30 CFR 77.1901 requires
operators to conduct examinations of
slope and shaft areas for hazardous
conditions, including tests for methane
and oxygen deficiency, within 90
minutes before each shift, once during
each shift, and before and after blasting.
The surface area surrounding each slope
and shaft is also required to be
inspected for hazards.
The standard also requires that a
record be kept of the results of the
inspections. The record includes a
description of any hazardous condition
found and the corrective action taken to
abate it. The record is necessary to
ensure that the inspections and tests are
conducted in a timely fashion and that
corrective action is taken when
hazardous conditions are identified,
thereby ensuring a safe working
environment for the slope and shaft
sinking employees. The record is
maintained at the mine site for the
duration of the operation.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Records of Preshift
and Onshift Inspections of Slope and
Shaft Areas of Slope and Shaft Sinking
Operations at Coal Mines. MSHA is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
• Suggest methods to 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.
The information collection request
will be available on https://

at 202–395–3080.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) is
proposing an update to M–16–19 Data
Center Optimization Initiative. The
Federal Information Technology
Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA)
passed in 2014, and required the
Federal Government to consolidate and
optimize agencies’ data centers until
October 1, 2018. The Office of
Management and Budget (OMB)
responded by issuing M–16–19 Data
Center Optimization Initiative (DCOI),
which set priorities for data center
closures and efficiency improvements
through the end of Fiscal Year 2018.
The FITARA Enhancement Act of 2017
extended the data center requirements
of FITARA until October 1, 2020. As a
result, OMB is updating and extending
the Data Center Optimization Initiative
for another two years.
This Memorandum contains
requirements for the consolidation and
optimization of Federal data centers in
accordance with FITARA. It establishes
consolidation and optimization targets
and metrics for Federal agencies, as well
as requirements for reporting on their
progress. This policy will be available
for review and public comment at
https://datacenters.cio.gov/.
