conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing 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. The Bureau of Labor
Statistics (BLS) is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed revision of the
‘‘BLS Data Sharing Program.’’ A copy of
the proposed information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the individual listed below in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
Addresses section of this notice on or
before August 7, 2023.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to Erin

of Management Systems, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, Room G225, 2
Massachusetts Avenue, NE,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
An important aspect of the mission of
the BLS is to disseminate to the public
the maximum amount of information
possible. Not all data are publicly
available because of the importance of
maintaining the confidentiality of BLS
data. However, the BLS has
opportunities available on a limited
basis for eligible researchers to access
confidential data for purposes of
conducting valid statistical analyses that
further the mission of the BLS as
permitted in the Confidential
Information Protection and Statistical
Efficiency Act (CIPSEA).
The BLS makes confidential data
available to eligible researchers through
three major programs:
1. The National Longitudinal Surveys
of Youth (NLSY) is designed to
document the transition from school to
work and into adulthood. The NLSY
collects extensive information about
youths’ labor market behavior and
educational experiences over time. The
NLSY includes three different cohorts:
the National Longitudinal Survey of
PO 00000
Frm 00083
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
37281
Youth 1979 (NLSY79), the NLSY79
Young Adult Survey, and the National
Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997
(NLSY97). NLSY data beyond the public
use data are made available in greater
detail through an offsite program to
eligible researchers.
2. The Census of Fatal Occupational
Injuries (CFOI), as part of the BLS
occupational safety and health statistics
program, compiles a count of all fatal
work injuries occurring in the U.S. in
each calendar year. Multiple sources are
used in order to provide as complete
and accurate information concerning
workplace fatalities as possible. A
research file containing CFOI data is
made available offsite to eligible
researchers.
3. Additionally, the BLS makes
available data from several employment,
prices, compensation, and working
conditions surveys to eligible
researchers for onsite use. Eligible
visiting researchers can access these
data in researcher rooms at the BLS
national office in Washington, DC or at
a Federal Statistical Research Data
Center (FSRDC).
II. Current Action
Office of Management and Budget
clearance is being sought for a revision
of the BLS Data Sharing Program. In
order to provide access to confidential
data under CIPSEA, the BLS must enter
into legal agreements with approved
researchers’ institutions. This
information collection allows the BLS to
obtain the necessary details for those
legal agreements which are not captured
through the Standard Application
Process (SAP).
An Emergency OMB Clearance
Package 1220–0199 approved collection
of an additional Special Agreement
Check Information Form for 180 days.
This form is used to fulfill a Department
of Labor (DOL) security requirement
that all visitors require a minimal
background check to access Federal
facilities. Continued collection of this
information is essential to granting
approved researchers access to
restricted data at the BLS National
Office. Package 1220–0199 expires on
December 31, 2023, after which time the
form will be covered under this package
1220–0180.
III. Desired Focus of Comments
The Bureau of Labor Statistics 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

• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• 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
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.

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.
MSHA safety standards for ventilation
of underground coal mines establish
additional protective measures that
mine operators must follow if they want
to use belt air for ventilation purposes.
30 CFR 75.350, 75.351, 75.352, and
75.371 contain paperwork requirements
to ensure that mine operators are in
compliance with the ventilation
standards.
30 CFR 75.350(a)(2) requires that the
air velocity in the belt entry must be at
least 50 feet per minute. When
requested by the mine operator, the
district manager may approve lower
velocities in the ventilation plan based
on specific mine conditions.
30 CFR 75.350(b) requires that the use
of air from a belt air course to ventilate
a working section, or an area where
mechanized mining equipment is being
installed or removed, is permitted only
when evaluated and approved by the
district manager in the mine ventilation
plan. The mine operator must include in
a ventilation plan a justification that the
use of air from a belt entry would afford
at least the same measure of protection
as where belt haulage entries are not
used to ventilate working places.
30 CFR 75.350(b)(2) requires all
miners to be trained annually in the
