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. MSHA establishes standards and
regulations for diesel-powered
equipment in underground coal mines
that provide additional important
protection for coal miners who work on
and around diesel-powered equipment.
The standards are designed to reduce
the risks to underground coal miners of
serious health hazards that are
associated with exposure to high
concentrations of diesel particulate
matter. The standards in sections
72.510(a) & (b), and 72.520(a) & (b)
contain information collection
requirements for underground coal mine
operators. Section 72.510(a) requires
underground coal mine operators to
provide annual training to all miners
who may be exposed to diesel
emissions. The training must include:
Health risks associated with exposure to
diesel particulate matter; methods used
in the mine to control diesel particulate
concentrations; identification of the
personnel responsible for maintaining
those controls; and actions miners must
take to ensure that controls operate as
intended. Under Section 72.510(b)
underground coal mine operators are
required to keep a record of the training
for one year. Section 72.520(a) and (b)
requires underground coal mine
operators to maintain an inventory of
diesel powered equipment units
together with a list of information about
any unit’s emission control or filtration
system. The list must be updated within
7 calendar days of any change. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
January 27, 2020 (85 FR 4708).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OFCCP
administers and enforces the three equal
employment opportunity laws listed
below:
• Executive Order 11246, as amended
(E.O. 11246);
• Section 503 of the Rehabilitation
Act of 1973, as amended, 29 U.S.C. 793
(Section 503); and
• Vietnam Era Veterans’
Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974
(VEVRAA), as amended, 38 U.S.C. 4212.
These authorities prohibit
employment discrimination by Federal
contractors and subcontractors and
require them to take affirmative action
to ensure that equal employment
opportunities are available regardless of
race, color, religion, sex, sexual
orientation, gender identity, national
origin, disability, or status as a protected
veteran. Additionally, Federal
contractors and subcontractors are
prohibited from discriminating against
applicants and employees for asking
about, discussing, or sharing
information about their pay or, in
certain circumstances, the pay of their
co-workers. Federal contractors and
subcontractors are further prohibited
from harassing, intimidating,
threatening, coercing, or discriminating
against individuals who file a
complaint, assist or participate in any
OFCCP investigation, oppose any
discriminatory act or practice, or
otherwise exercise their rights protected
by OFCCP’s laws.
No private right of action exists under
the authorities that are enforced by
OFCCP, i.e., a private individual may
not bring a lawsuit against an employer
(or prospective employer) for
noncompliance with its contractual
PO 00000
Frm 00041

obligations enforced by OFCCP.
However, any employee of, or applicant
for employment with, a federal
contractor or subcontractor may file a
complaint with OFCCP alleging
discrimination or failure to comply with
affirmative action obligations. OFCCP
encourages such employees and
applicants to file their complaints by
completing its complaint form (‘‘Form
CC–4’’). OFCCP investigates the
complaint but retains the discretion
whether to pursue administrative or
judicial enforcement. If a complaint is
filed under E.O. 11246 or Section 503,
OFCCP may refer it to the U.S. Equal
Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC).1 OFCCP investigates all
complaints filed under VEVRAA. Under
E.O. 11246, the authority for collection
of complaint information is Section
206(b). The implementing regulations
which specify the content of this
information collection are found at 41
CFR 60–1.23. Under VEVRAA, the
authority for collecting complaints
information is at 38 U.S.C. 4212(b) and
the implementing regulations which
specify the content of VEVRAA
complaints are found at 41 CFR 60–
300.61(b). The statutory authority for
collecting complaint information under
Section 503 is at 29 U.S.C. 793(b), and
the implementing regulations which
specify the content of Section 503
complaints are found at 41 CFR 60–
741.61(c). This information collection
request covers the recordkeeping and
reporting requirements for Form CC–4.
