Abstract: In order to improve the efficient adjudication of OCAHO cases and reduce the printing, copying, and mailing costs (for both OCAHO and the public) associated with OCAHO cases, OCAHO began developing a web-based electronic case management system in 2018 and continues to develop a webbased electronic filing portal (OCAHO E-Filing Portal) for this system. The OCAHO E-Filing Portal will allow parties to OCAHO cases to file complaints electronically, request electronic access to a case to which they are a party, file motions and requests electronically, and receive service of orders and decisions from OCAHO by email. EOIR obtained initial PRA clearance for this information collection in 2021. The OCAHO E-Filing Portal has never been made available to the public because it is connected to an internal electronic case management system that is still under development. Since initial clearance in 2021, and in tandem with developments to the OCAHO case management system, EOIR has made several changes to the OCAHO E-Filing Portal: EOIR removed data fields determined to be unnecessary for the adjudication of OCAHO cases; EOIR added comment fields to various parts of the Portal for parties to OCAHO proceedings to provide information relevant to proceedings and not otherwise captured by other fields in this information collection; EOIR reordered Portal contents and form fields, and added instructions throughout the Portal, to enhance clarity and user navigation within the Portal; and EOIR added capabilities to enable form fields to auto-populate in the Portal upon upload of a completed PDF version of the EOIR–58, Unfair Immigration-Related Employment Practices Complaint Form (OMB#1125– 0016), and the EOIR–30, OCAHO Subpoena Form. EOIR intends these enhancements to reduce costs and resources required during the course of OCAHO proceedings and ensure that only authorized parties and their representatives will have access to information and documents pertaining to their specific cases.

I. Background Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) allows the mine operator or representative of miners to file a petition to modify the application of any mandatory safety standard to a coal or other mine if the Secretary of Labor determines that: 1. An alternative method of achieving the result of such standard exists which will at all times guarantee no less than the same measure of protection afforded the miners of such mine by such standard; or 2. The application of such standard to such mine will result in a diminution of safety to the miners in such mine.

II. Petition for Modification Docket Number: M–2024–001–C. Petitioner: River View Coal, LLC, 835 St. Route 1179, Waverly, Kentucky 42462. Mine: Henderson County Mine, MSHA ID No. 15–02709, located in Union County, Kentucky. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 18.35(a)(5)(i) (Portable (trailing) cables and cords). Modification Request: The petitioner requests a modification of 30 CFR 18.35(a)(5)(i) to increase the maximum length of tailing cables to supply power to permissible equipment used in continuous mining sections. The petitioner states that: (a) The mine will be developing three in-seam slopes, approximately 1000 feet in length each. When completed, the 9degree slopes will be utilized to connect two vertically separated coal seams. (b) The mine will routinely mine around oil wells which require leaving large barrier pillars to protect the wells and the underground miners. (c) Accomplishing these mining scenarios safely and efficiently necessitates extended cable lengths, without the need to provide permissible junction boxes that would otherwise be installed and maintained in the direct paths of haulage equipment. The petitioner proposes the following alternative method: (a) The proposed decision and order (PDO) granted by MSHA shall apply only to trailing cables supplying threephase 995-volts alternating current (VAC) power to continuous mining machines, supplying three-phase 480– VAC power to roof bolting machines, and supplying power to 550-volts direct current (VDC) shuttle cars.

[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Written comments and suggestions from the 
public and affected agencies concerning the proposed collection of 
information are encouraged. Your comments should address one or more of 
the following four points:

    Abstract: In order to improve the efficient adjudication of OCAHO 
cases and reduce the printing, copying, and mailing costs (for both 
OCAHO and the public) associated with OCAHO cases, OCAHO began 
developing a web-based electronic case management system in 2018 and 
continues to develop a web-based electronic filing portal (OCAHO E-
Filing Portal) for this system. The OCAHO E-Filing Portal will allow 
parties to OCAHO cases to file complaints electronically, request 
electronic access to a case to which they are a party, file motions and 
requests electronically, and receive service of orders and decisions 
from OCAHO by email. EOIR obtained initial PRA clearance for this 
information collection in 2021. The OCAHO E-Filing Portal has never 
been made available to the public because it is connected to an 
internal electronic case management system that is still under 
development. Since initial clearance in 2021, and in tandem with 
developments to the OCAHO case management system, EOIR has made several 
changes to the OCAHO E-Filing Portal: EOIR removed data fields 
determined to be unnecessary for the adjudication of OCAHO cases; EOIR 
added comment fields to various parts of the Portal for parties to 
OCAHO proceedings to provide information relevant to proceedings and 
not otherwise captured by other fields in this information collection; 
EOIR reordered Portal contents and form fields, and added instructions 
throughout the Portal, to enhance clarity and user navigation within 
the Portal; and EOIR added capabilities to enable form fields to auto-
populate in the Portal upon upload of a completed PDF version of the 
EOIR-58, Unfair Immigration-Related Employment Practices Complaint Form 
(OMB#1125-0016), and the EOIR-30, OCAHO Subpoena Form. EOIR intends 
these enhancements to reduce costs and resources required during the 
course of OCAHO proceedings and ensure that only authorized parties and 
their representatives will have access to information and documents 
pertaining to their specific cases. This information collection tool is 
optional and voluntary.
