graduates and former enrollees. Large
and small corporations manage and
operate 95 Job Corps centers under
contractual agreements with DOL. These
contract center operators are selected
through a competitive procurement
process that evaluates potential
operators’ technical expertise, proposed
costs, past performance, and other
factors, in accordance with the
Competition in Contracting Act and the
Federal Acquisition Regulations. Two
centers are operated under
demonstration grant arrangements. The
remaining 24 Job Corps centers, called
Civilian Conservation Centers, are
operated by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture Forest Service via an
interagency agreement. DOL has a direct
role in the operation of Job Corps, and
does not serve as a pass-through agency
for this program.
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 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.
Interested parties are encouraged to
provide comments to the contact shown
in the ADDRESSES section. Comments
must be written to receive
consideration, and they will be
summarized and included in the request
for OMB approval of the final ICR. In
order to help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB control number 1205–
0035.
Submitted comments will also be a
matter of public record for this ICR and
posted on the internet, without
redaction. DOL encourages commenters
not to include personally identifiable
information, confidential business data,
or other sensitive statements/
information in any comments.
DOL 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,

technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
(e.g. permitting electronic submission of
responses).

DOL, as
part of continuing efforts to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies an opportunity to
comment on proposed and/or
continuing collections of information
before submitting them to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for final
approval. This program helps to ensure
requested data can be provided in the
desired format, reporting burden (time
and financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements can be properly assessed.
On February 22, 2012, the President
signed the Middle Class Tax Relief and
Job Creation Act of 2012 (the Act).
Section 2104 of the Act amends Title IX,
SSA by adding a new section 911 (42
U.S.C. 1111), which requires the
Department to issue rules, developed in
consultation with an interagency
workgroup established by the OMB, that
establish data exchange standards for
certain functions related to
administration of the unemployment
insurance (UI) program. The rule
designates XML (eXtensible Markup
Language) as the data exchange standard
for the real-time applications on the
Interstate Connection Network (ICON)
and for State Information Data Exchange
System (SIDES). States are required to
conform to the XML data exchange
standard for these applications. DOL’s

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.
Title 30 CFR 71.400 through 71.402
and 75.1712–1 through 75.1712–3
require coal mine operators to provide
bathing facilities, clothing change
rooms, and sanitary flush toilet facilities
in a location that is convenient for use
of the miners. If the operator is unable
to meet any or all of the requirements,
the operator may apply for a waiver.
Title 30 CFR 71.403, 71.404, 75.1712–4,
and 75.1712–5 provide procedures by
which an operator may apply for and be
granted a waiver. Applications must be
submitted to the MSHA District
Manager for the district in which the
mine is located and must contain the
name and address of the mine operator,
name and location of the mine, and a
detailed statement of the grounds on
which the waiver is requested.
Waivers for surface mines may be
granted by the District Manager for a
period not to exceed one year. If the
waiver is granted, surface mine
operators may apply for annual
extensions of the approved waiver.
Waivers for underground mines may be
granted by the District Manager for the
period of time requested by the
underground mine operator as long as
the circumstances that were used to
justify granting the waiver remain in
effect. Waivers are not transferable to a
successor coal mine operator.
