[OMB Control No. 1219–0121]

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

The attention of interested persons is
directed to the following:
(1) The fact that a transaction is the
subject of an exemption under section
408(a) of the Act and/or section
4975(c)(2) of the Code does not relieve
a fiduciary or other party in interest or
disqualified person from certain other
provisions of the Act and/or the Code,
including any prohibited transaction
provisions to which the exemption does
not apply and the general fiduciary
responsibility provisions of section 404
of the Act, which, among other things,
require a fiduciary to discharge his
duties respecting the plan solely in the
interest of the participants and
beneficiaries of the plan and in a
prudent fashion in accordance with
section 404(a)(1)(b) of the Act; nor does
it affect the requirement of section
401(a) of the Code that the plan must
operate for the exclusive benefit of the
employees of the employer maintaining
the plan and their beneficiaries;
(2) Before an exemption may be
granted under section 408(a) of the Act
and/or section 4975(c)(2) of the Code,
the Department must find that the
exemption is administratively feasible,
in the interests of the plan and of its
participants and beneficiaries, and
protective of the rights of participants
and beneficiaries of the plan;
(3) The proposed exemptions, if
granted, will be supplemental to, and
not in derogation of, any other
provisions of the Act and/or the Code,
including statutory or administrative
exemptions and transitional rules.
Furthermore, the fact that a transaction
is subject to an administrative or
statutory exemption is not dispositive of
whether the transaction is in fact a
prohibited transaction; and
(4) The proposed exemptions, if
granted, will be subject to the express
condition that the material facts and
representations contained in each
application are true and complete, and
that each application accurately
describes all material terms of the
transaction which is the subject of the
exemption.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 25th day of
May, 2012.

Proposed Extension of Existing
Information Collection; Safety
Standards for Roof Bolts in Metal and
Nonmetal Mines and Underground
Coal Mines
Mine Safety and Health
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:

As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, the Department of Labor
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to assure 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 is
soliciting comments concerning the
extension of the information collection
for 30 CFR 56.3203, 57.3203, and
75.204(a) and (f)(6). OMB last approved
this information collection request on
September 28, 2009. The package
expires on September 30, 2012.
DATES: All comments must be
postmarked or received by midnight
Eastern Time on July 31, 2012.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the
information collection requirements of
this notice must be clearly identified
with ‘‘OMB 1219–0121’’ and sent to the
Mine Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA). Comments may be sent by any
of the methods listed below.
• Federal E–Rulemaking Portal:
http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the
on-line instructions for submitting
comments.
• Facsimile: 202–693–9441, include

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
Accidents involving falls of roof, face,
and rib in underground metal,
nonmetal, and coal mines or falls of
highwall in surface metal and nonmetal
mines, are among the leading causes of
injuries and deaths. Prevention or
control of falls of roof, face, and rib is
uniquely difficult because of the variety
of conditions encountered in mines that
can affect the stability of various types
of strata and the changing nature of the
forces affecting ground stability at any
given operation at any given time. Roof
and rock bolts and accessories are an
integral part of ground control systems
at these mines and are used to prevent
the fall of roof, face, and rib.
Advancements in technology of roof and
rock bolts and accessories have aided in
reducing the hazards associated with
falls of roof, face, and rib. This
information collection addresses the
recordkeeping associated with:
§ 56.3203 ...............................
§ 57.3203 ...............................
§ 75.204(a) & (f)(6) ................

II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of the information collection
related to safety standards for roof bolts
in surface and underground metal and
nonmetal mines and underground coal
mines. 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 the
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
• Address the use of appropriate
automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other technological collection
techniques or other forms of information
technology (e.g., permitting electronic
submissions of responses), to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond.
The public may examine publicly
available documents, including the
