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
authorization for this information
collection for three (3) more years,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Petition for Finding Under Employee
Retirement Income Security Act Section
3(40) information collection. Rules
codified beginning at 29 CFR 2570.150
set forth an administrative procedure
(‘‘procedural rules’’) for obtaining a
determination by the Department as to
whether a particular employee benefit
plan is established or maintained under
or pursuant to one or more collective
bargaining agreements for purposes of
section 3(40) of ERISA. These
procedural rules concern specific
criteria set forth in 29 CFR 2510.3–40
(‘‘criteria rules’’), which, if met,
constitute a finding by the Department
that a plan is collectively bargained.
Plans that meet the requirements of the
criteria rules are not subject to state law.
Among other requirements, the
procedural rules require submission of a
petition and affidavits by parties seeking
a finding.
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
authorization for this information
collection for three (3) more years,
without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
