The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), as amended, places the ultimate responsibility on mine operators for ensuring the safety and health of miners. The legislative history of the Mine Act emphasizes that Congress included the pattern of violations (POV) provision for mine operators who demonstrated a disregard for the safety and health of miners through a recurring pattern of significant and substantial (S&S) violations. MSHA was to use the POV provision in situations where other enforcement actions had been ineffective at bringing the mines into compliance with safety and health standards. Under section 104.2, at least once each year MSHA reviews the compliance and other records of mines to determine whether any mines meet the POV criteria. In determining whether to issue a POV notice, MSHA considers mitigating circumstances facing mine operators, in accordance with section 104.2(a)(8). Specifically, among the items MSHA could consider is any approved corrective action program (CAP) that the mine is implementing to reduce S&S violations, together with any improved results. This information collection is designed to encourage operators to take proactive measures to bring their mines into compliance. MSHA believes that operators who implement CAPs are thereby demonstrating a commitment to complying with MSHA’s safety and health standards and to restoring safe and healthful working conditions for miners.

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 approves it and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: CEO, in partnership with the Employment and Training Administration (ETA), is sponsoring an implementation evaluation of grants awarded under the Substance Use-Disorder Prevention that Promotes Opioid Recovery and Treatment for Patients and Communities (SUPPORT) Act. CEO is seeking approval from OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act for data collection instruments associated with the evaluation. With the goal of producing important information on innovative practices and implementation challenges in providing services that integrate employment services and substance use disorder (SUD) treatment services, DOL awarded nearly $20 million in SUPPORT Act grants to four state workforce agencies. Grantees may use these funds to provide a range of employment services for affected individuals. The grants can also be used to train and support two types of workers: workers personally affected by opioid misuse or other SUDs (including having a friend or family member with a substance use disorder), and workers who seek to transition to professions that address the opioid crisis (such as addiction and SUD treatment, mental health services, and pain management). Finally, grantees can use a portion of their funds for individual or group outpatient treatment and recovery services, in addition to using funds for employment services. DOL contracted with Abt Associates and its partner to conduct an implementation evaluation will inform program administrators and practitioners on providing services that address both employment and treatment needs for people with SUDs.
