SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The reporting and recordkeeping provisions in 30 CFR 50, Notification, Investigation, Reports and Records of Accidents, Injuries and Illnesses, Employment and Coal Production in Mines, are essential elements in MSHA’s statutory mandate to reduce work-related injuries and illnesses among the nation’s miners (30 U.S.C. 801). Part 50 applies to operators of coal, metal, and nonmetal mines. It requires operators to immediately notify MSHA of accidents, investigate accidents and restrict disturbance of accident-related areas. This part also requires operators to file reports with MSHA pertaining to accidents, occupational injuries, and occupational illnesses, as well as employment and coal production data, and requires operators to maintain copies of reports at mine offices.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 103(h) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 813, authorizes MSHA to collect information necessary to carry out its duty in protecting the safety and health of miners. It has long been known that inadequate maintenance of electric equipment is a major cause of serious electrical accidents in the coal mining industry. MSHA regulations require the mine operator to establish an electrical maintenance program by specifying minimum requirements for the examination, testing, and maintenance of electric equipment. The regulations also contain recordkeeping requirements that help operators in implementing an effective maintenance program. This ICR requires coal mine operators to frequently exam, test, and properly maintain all electrical equipment and high voltage longwall mining systems and to keep records of the examinations and tests.

NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION 30 CFR 56.19057 and 57.19057 require the annual examination and certification of hoist operators’ fitness by a qualified, licensed physician. The information is used by mine operators and MSHA enforcement personnel to verify that persons operating hoisting equipment are physically able to safely perform their functions. If MSHA cannot verify that hoist operators are capable of performing their assigned tasks, the individuals themselves, and those requiring hoisting into or out of a mine, may be at risk. Hoist operators provide a critical service to all personnel and equipment going into and out of some surface and underground mines, as well as emergency responders on an asneeded basis. Improper hoisting, caused by the inability of a hoist operator to function effectively due to a medical problem, can cause serious injury or death.

ACTION: Notice of availability (NOA) for a proposed nationwide programmatic agreement; request for comments. AGENCY: NASA is proposing a nationwide programmatic agreement (NPA), among NASA, the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP) and the National Conference of State Historic Preservation Officers (NCSHPO) for management of NASA assets. The purpose of the NPA is to create a process by which NASA can meet its responsibilities to manage its U.S. real property assets under sections 106 and 110 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in a manner that accommodates NASA’s mission and addresses the unique challenges of historic highly technical and scientific facilities (HTSF). The need for a tailored process became more essential in 2015, when the Office of Management and Budget released the ‘‘National Strategy for the Efficient Use of Real Property’’ and the companion policy, ‘‘Reduce the Footprint’’, which requires Federal agencies to dispose of surplus properties, make more efficient use of the Government’s real property assets, and reduce the total square footage of their domestic office and warehouse inventory relative to an established baseline. NASA requests comments on the proposed agreement. DATES: Comments should be received by January 24, 2024. ADDRESSES: The Draft NPA is available for review at https://www.nasa.gov/ emd/npa-drafts/. We encourage you to submit comments on the NPA via electronic mail to hq-crm@ mail.nasa.gov. Comments may also be sent by mail Attention: Office of the General Counsel, (General Law—Curtis Borland), Mary W. Jackson NASA Headquarters, 300 E St. SW, Washington, DC 20546.
