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 44.9, 44.10, and 44.11. OMB
last approved this information
collection request on January 8, 2010.
The package expires on January 31,
2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 811(c), provides that a
mine operator or a representative of
miners may petition the Secretary of
Labor (Secretary) to modify the
application of a mandatory safety
standard. A petition for modification
may be granted if the Secretary
determines (1) that an alternative
method of achieving the results of the
standard exists and that it will
guarantee, at all times, no less than the
same measure of protection for the
miners affected as that afforded by the
standard, or (2) that the application of
the standard will result in a diminution
of safety to the miners affected.
Upon receipt of a petition, MSHA
publishes a notice in the Federal
Register advising interested parties that
they may provide comments or other
relevant information on the proposed
modification. Thereafter, MSHA
conducts an investigation to determine
the merits of the petition for the purpose
of deciding whether or not to grant it
and, if granted, whether there is a need
for any additional terms or conditions.
This information collection addresses
the recordkeeping associated with 30
CFR 49.9, 44.10, and 44.11.
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 this safety standard on
petitions for modification of mandatory
safety standards. 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June

claimant categories (the ‘‘Phase I

PO 00000

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 9990

Claimants’’) 1 filed with the Judges a
motion requesting a partial distribution
of 50% of the 2010 satellite royalty
funds pursuant to section 801(b)(3)(C) of
the Copyright Act. 17 U.S.C.
801(b)(3)(C). That section requires that
the Judges publish a notice in the
Federal Register seeking responses to
the motion for partial distribution to
ascertain whether any claimant entitled
to receive such fees has a reasonable
objection to the requested distribution
before ruling on the motion.
Consequently, this Notice seeks
comments from interested claimants on
whether any reasonable objection exists
that would preclude the distribution of
50% of the 2010 satellite royalty funds
to the Phase I Claimants. The Judges
must be advised of the existence and
extent of all such objections by the end
of the comment period. The Judges will
not consider any objections with respect
to the partial distribution motion that
come to their attention after the close of
that period.
The Judges also seek comment on the
existence and extent of any
controversies to the 2010 satellite
royalty funds at Phase I or Phase II with
respect to those funds that would
remain if the motion for partial
distribution is granted.
The Motion of the Phase I Claimants
for Partial Distribution is posted on the
Copyright Royalty Board Web site at
http://www.loc.gov/crb.
Dated: July 30, 2012.

1 The ‘‘Phase I Claimants’’ are Program Suppliers,
Joint Sports Claimants, Broadcaster Claimants
Group, Music Claimants (represented by American
Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers,
Broadcast Music, Inc., and SESAC, Inc.), and
Devotional Claimants. In Phase I of a satellite
royalty distribution proceeding, royalties are
allocated among certain categories of broadcast
programming that have been retransmitted by
satellite systems. The categories have traditionally
been movies and syndicated television series, sports
programming, commercial broadcaster-owned
programming, religious programming, and music.
Public Television Claimants, Canadian Claimants,
and National Public Radio, which traditionally have
received Phase I shares of cable royalties, do not
claim Phase I shares of the satellite royalty funds.
In Phase II of a satellite royalty distribution
proceeding, royalties are allocated among claimants
within each of the Phase I categories.
