30-Day Federal Register Notice

19024

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 60 / Thursday, March 28, 2013 / Notices

Petitioner: The Doe Run Company,
6854 Hwy KK, Bunker, Missouri 63629.
Mine: Fletcher Mine, MSHA I.D. No.
23–00409, located in Reynolds County,
Missouri.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR
57.11052(d) (Refuge areas).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit the use of an
alternative method of compliance to
maintain compressed air cylinders in
lieu of compressed air lines in refuge
chambers. The petitioner states that:
(1) The refuge chamber would be
provided with compressed air cylinders
and a suitable regulator as well as
always remain in the fresh air circuit of
the mine’s ventilation.
(2) Bottled water will be maintained
in the refuge chamber in lieu of
waterlines as required by the standard.
(3) The refuge chambers are provided
as a safety precaution in the event
miners are unable to escape from the
mine in an emergency.
(4) Three compressed air cylinders
and bottled water for the refuge chamber
will be available if needed during the
mine emergency.
(5) The chamber will always remain
in the fresh air, maintaining an
acceptable air quality for an indefinite
time period. Air and water lines may be
damaged in the event of a mine
emergency.
The petitioner asserts that having
compressed air cylinders, the refuge
chamber in the fresh air circuit of
mine’s ventilation, and bottled water in
the chamber, will always guarantee the
miners affected no less than the same
measure of protection afforded by the
standard.
Dated: March 22, 2013.

Director, Office of Standards, Regulations and
Variances.

forum, and all five NTSB Board
Members will serve as members of the
Board of Inquiry. The forum is
organized into three topic areas:

aircraft. The presence of and use of
lithium ion batteries in transportation is
not, however, limited to aviation.
Through this forum, the NTSB will
highlight the role of lithium ion
batteries across all modes of
transportation, manufacturing
processes, design standards, failure
rates, and regulations and other
standards associated with their use and
shipping.
Expert panelists will include
representatives from government
agencies, industry suppliers, safety
experts, and the research community.
Below is the preliminary agenda:
Thursday, April 11 (9:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.)
1. Opening Statement by Chairman
Hersman
2. Introduction of the Officers, technical
panel, and panelists
3. Presentations from Panels One and
Two and questions from the Officers
and Technical Panel
4. Closing statement by Chairman
Hersman
Friday, April 12 (9:00 a.m.–12:30 p.m.)
1. Opening Statement by Chairman
Hersman
2. Presentations from Panel Three and
questions from the Officers and
Technical Panel
3. Closing statement by Chairman
Hersman
Panel topics will include the following:
Panel 1—Design, Development, and Use
of Lithium Ion Battery Technology
Panel 2—Regulations and Standards for
Lithium Ion Batteries; and
Panel 3—Lithium Ion Battery
Applications and Safety in
Transportation.
The full agenda and a list of participants
can be found at: www.ntsb.gov/
BatteryForum.
The forum will be held in the NTSB
Board Room and Conference Center,
located at 429 L’Enfant Plaza E SW.,
Washington, DC. The public can view
the forum in person or by live Webcast
at www.ntsb.gov. Webcast archives are

is primarily used by OPM to give recent
retirees the opportunity to waive Direct
Deposit of their annuity payments. The
form is sent only if the separating
agency did not give the retiring
employee this election opportunity.
This form may also be used to enroll in
Direct Deposit, which was its primary
use before Public Law 104–134 was
passed. This law requires OPM to make
all recurring benefits payments
electronically to beneficiaries who live
where Direct Deposit is available.
Beneficiaries who do not enroll in the
Direct Deposit Program will be enrolled
in Direct Express.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OPM’s
Federal Investigative Services (FIS),
Freedom of Information and Privacy Act
(FOI/PA) office proposes use of this
optional form (INV 100) to standardize
collection of data elements specific to
FOIA and Privacy Act record requests
submitted to FIS. Current FOIA and
Privacy Act record requests are
submitted to FIS–FOI/PA in a format
chosen by the requester, yet consistent
with the published regulations at 5 CFR
294 and 5 CFR 297, respectively. Often
the requests are missing data elements
that require contact with the requester
by mail, thereby adding time to the
process. Standardization of the access
process will increase the volume of
perfected requests received. This will
strike an appropriate balance between
the public’s burden in submitting
requests and FIS–FOI/PA’s ability to
accurately identify sought records and
to verify the identity of the Privacy Act
requester, ensuring that protected
records are not inappropriately released
to third parties. It is estimated that
16,626 individuals will respond
annually. The INV 100 takes
approximately 5 minutes to complete.
The estimated annual burden is 1,386
hours.
The 60-day Federal Register Notice
was published in the Federal Register
on August 31, 2012, (Federal Register
Notices/Vol. 77, Number 170, pages
53237–53238) as required by 5 CFR
1320, affording the public an
opportunity to comment on the form.
Four comments were received from the
National Archives and Records
Administration’s (NARA) Office of
Government Information Services
(OGIS), recommending verbiage clarity
in Section 5–7. OGIS recommended that
in Section 5, which is optional, OPM
should provide an example of an
