National Agricultural Workers Survey
(NAWS) information collection. The
National Agricultural Workers Survey is
an employment based annual survey of
the demographic, employment, and
health characteristics of hired crop
workers, including those who
employers hire indirectly through labor
contractors. The survey began in 1988.
Each year the NAWS contractor
interviews between 1,500 and 3,500
crop workers. The contractor interviews
crop workers three times per year to
account for the seasonality of
agricultural employment. ETA uses
NAWS data to estimate each State’s
share of crop workers who are eligible
for employment and training services
through ETA’s National Farmworker
Jobs Program. Other Federal agencies
similarly use the survey’s data to
estimate the number and characteristics
of crop workers and their dependents
who qualify to participate in or receive
services from various migrant and
seasonal farmworker programs. The
United States Department of Agriculture
routinely uses NAWS data, along with
other data, to estimate changes in
agricultural productivity. The WagnerPeyser Act authorizes this information
collection. See 29 U.S.C. 49f(d) and 49l–
2(a).
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 the OMB
under the PRA approves it 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 1205–
0453.
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
November 30, 2019. 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
July 25, 2019 (84 FR 35886).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Certificate of Electrical Training and
Applications for MSHA Approved Tests
and State Tests Administered as Part of
an MSHA-approved State Program
information collection. 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 of Labor 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. Under section 305(g) of the Mine
Act, all electric equipment shall be
frequently examined, tested, and
properly maintained by a qualified
person to assure safe operating
conditions.
Title 30 CFR 75.153 and 77.103 define
a person as qualified to perform
electrical work if he has been qualified
as a coal mine electrician by a State that
has a coal mine electrical qualification
program approved by MSHA; or if he
has at least one year of experience
performing electrical work underground
in a coal mine, in a surface coal mine,
in a noncoal mine, in the mine
equipment manufacturing industry, or
in any other industry using or
manufacturing similar equipment, and
has satisfactorily completed a coal mine
electrical training program approved by
MSHA or has attained a satisfactory
grade on a series of five written tests
approved by MSHA. MSHA Form 5000–
1 provides the coal mining industry
with a standardized reporting format
that expedites the certification process
while ensuring compliance with the
regulations. The information provided
on the form enables MSHA to determine
if the applicants satisfy the
requirements to obtain the certification
or qualification. The Department has
received approval from OMB for this
ICR under OMB Control No. 1219–0001.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal and the current approval for
this collection will expire on November
30, 2019. The DOL seeks to extend PRA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for
the National Agricultural Workers Survey (NAWS) information collection.
The National Agricultural Workers Survey is an employment based annual
survey of the demographic, employment, and health characteristics of
hired crop workers, including those who employers hire indirectly
through labor contractors. The survey began in 1988. Each year the NAWS
contractor interviews between 1,500 and 3,500 crop workers. The
contractor interviews crop workers three times per year to account for
the seasonality of agricultural employment. ETA uses NAWS data to
estimate each State's share of crop workers who are eligible for
employment and training services through ETA's National Farmworker Jobs
Program. Other Federal agencies similarly use the survey's data to
estimate the number and characteristics of crop workers and their
dependents who qualify to participate in or receive services from
various migrant and seasonal farmworker programs. The United States
Department of Agriculture routinely uses NAWS data, along with other
data, to estimate changes in agricultural productivity. The Wagner-
Peyser Act authorizes this information collection. See 29 U.S.C. 49f(d)
and 49l-2(a).
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 the OMB under the PRA approves it 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 1205-0453.
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 November 30, 2019. 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 July 25, 2019 (84 FR
