SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Since
1987, all State Workforce Agencies
except the U.S. Virgin Islands have been
required by regulation at 20 CFR part
602 to operate Benefit Accuracy
Measurement (BAM) programs to assess
the accuracy of their unemployment
insurance (UI) benefit payments in three
programs: State UI, Unemployment
Compensation for Federal Employees
(UCFE), and Unemployment
Compensation for Ex-servicemembers
(UCX). BAM is one of the tools DOL
uses to measure and reduce improper
payments in the UI program. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
February 23, 2022 (87 FR 10244).
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
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 OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
Agency: DOL–ETA.
Title of Collection: Unemployment

Mine Safety and Health
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
collections of information in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995. This program helps to ensure that
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 on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Mine
Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) is soliciting comments on the
information collection for Cleanup
Program for Accumulations of Coal and
Float Coal Dusts, Loose Coal, and Other
Combustibles.
DATES: All comments must be received
on or before October 31, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the
information collection requirements of
this notice may be sent by any of the

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
I. Background
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
(Secretary) 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.
A program for regular cleanup and
removal of accumulations of coal and
float coal dusts, loose coal, and other
combustibles is essential to protect
miners from explosions. Effective and
frequent rock dust application is
necessary to protect miners from the
potential of a float coal dust explosion
or, if one occurs, to reduce its
propagation. 30 CFR 75.400–2 requires
that mine operators establish and
maintain a ‘‘program for regular cleanup
and removal of accumulations of coal
and float coal dusts, loose coal, and
other combustibles.’’ In addition, the
cleanup program must be available to
the Secretary or authorized
representative.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Cleanup Program
for Accumulations of Coal and Float
Coal Dusts, Loose Coal, and Other
Combustibles. MSHA is particularly

• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
The information collection request
will be available on https://
