Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 104 / Wednesday, May 31, 2023 / Notices
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
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 Qualification/
Certification Program Request for MSHA
Individual Identification Number
(MIIN).
DATES: All comments must be received
by the Office of Standards, Regulations
and Variance on or before July 31, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the
information collection requirements of
this notice may be sent by any of the
methods listed below. Please note that
late, untimely filed comments will not
be considered.
• Federal E-Rulemaking Portal:
https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the
on-line instructions for submitting
comments for docket number MSHA–
2023–0011.
• Mail/Hand Delivery: DOL–MSHA,
Office of Standards, Regulations, and
Variances, 201 12th Street South, Suite
4E401, Arlington, VA 22202–5452.
Before visiting MSHA in person, call
202–693–9455 to make an appointment,
in keeping with the Department of
Labor’s COVID–19 policy. Special
health precautions may be required.
• MSHA will post all comments as
well as any attachments, except for
information submitted and marked as
confidential, in the docket at https://
www.regulations.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: S.
Aromie Noe, Director, Office of
Standards, Regulations, and Variances,
MSHA, at
MSHA.information.collections@dol.gov
(email); (202) 693–9440 (voice); or (202)
693–9441 (facsimile). These are not tollfree numbers.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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 to
develop, promulgate, and revise as may
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:50 May 30, 2023
Jkt 259001
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 issues certifications,
qualifications, and approvals to the
nation’s miners to conduct specific
work within the mines. Miners
requiring qualification or certification
from MSHA will register for an MIIN.
MSHA uses this unique number in place
of individual Social Security numbers
(SSNs) for all MSHA collections. MIIN
will be used to identify miners who
have exercised their option to work in
areas of a mine with respirable dust
concentration at or below 0.5 milligrams
per cubic meter of air under 30 CFR 90.3
(Part 90 option); notice of eligibility;
exercise of option and 30 CFR 90.100(b)
(Respirable Dust Standard). The MIIN
identifier fulfills Executive Order 13402,
Strengthening Federal Efforts Against
Identity Theft, which requires Federal
agencies to better secure government
held data.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Qualification/
Certification Program Request for MSHA
Individual Identification Number
(MIIN). MSHA is particularly interested
in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
• Suggest methods to 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,
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://
www.regulations.gov. MSHA cautions
the commenter against providing any
information in the submission that
should not be publicly disclosed. Full
comments, including personal
information provided, will be made
available on www.regulations.gov and
www.reginfo.gov.

advise requesters of the correct
procedures to follow when requesting
certified copies of records for use in
civil litigation or criminal actions in
courts of law, and the information to be
provided so that records may be
identified. The third renewal
information collection is used when
veterans, dependents, and other
authorized individuals request
information from or copies of
documents in military personnel,
military medical, and dependent
medical records. We invite you to
comment on the proposed information
collections.

administers the medical records of
dependents of service personnel. When
veterans, dependents, and other
authorized individuals request
information from or copies of
documents in military personnel,
military medical, and dependent
medical records, they must provide on
forms or in letters certain information
about the veteran and the nature of the
request. A major fire at the NPRC on
July 12, 1973, destroyed numerous
military records. If individuals’ requests
involve records or information from
records that may have been lost in the
fire, requesters may be asked to
complete NA Form 13075,
Questionnaire about Military Service, or
NA Form 13055, Request for

search alternative sources to reconstruct
the requested information. Requesters

dependents of service personnel and
hospitalization records of military
personnel are asked to complete NA
Form 13042, Request for Information
Needed to Locate Medical Records, so
that NPRC staff can locate the desired
records. Certain types of information
contained in military personnel and
medical records are restricted from
disclosure unless the veteran provides a

is normally required. Veterans are asked
to complete NA Form 13036,
Authorization for Release of Military
Medical Patient Records, to authorize
release to a third party of a restricted
type of information found in the desired
record. For those who have already
made a request, and want to check the

Check the Status of a Clinical & Medical
Treatment Records Request.

sources to reconstruct the requested information. Requesters who ask
for medical records of dependents of service personnel and
hospitalization records of military personnel are asked to complete NA
Form 13042, Request for Information Needed to Locate Medical Records,
so that NPRC staff can locate the desired records. Certain types of
information contained in military personnel and medical records are
restricted from disclosure unless the veteran provides a more specific
release authorization than is normally required. Veterans are asked to
complete NA Form 13036, Authorization for Release of Military Medical
Patient Records, to authorize release to a third party of a restricted
type of information found in the desired record. For those who have
already made a request, and want to check the status, they can use NA
Form 13177, Check the Status of a Clinical & Medical Treatment Records
Request.
