very short trips to haul trucks or other
forms of equipment used purely for
haulage. While both LHDs and front-end
loaders have a hydraulically operated
digging and lifting bucket on the front,
the similarities between the two pieces
of equipment end there.
(2) The configuration of the two types
of equipment is also strikingly different.
In general, the operator’s compartment
of a front-end loader sits directly behind
the scoop or bucket, facing forward to
facilitate the equipment’s sole mission
of picking up multiple loads for the
purpose of transferring them to haulage
equipment. The operator’s cab of a
typical LHD is located in the middle of
the machine to facilitate the equipment
taking a single scoop or bucket load and
then tramming in the opposite direction
to a dump point. The midships
positioning of the operator’s cab on an
LHD is intended to allow it to haul
comparatively long distances in narrow
areas where it is often unable to turn the
machine around before initiating the
haul. In this configuration the operator
sits sideways, maximizing his ability to
see where he is going when traveling in
either direction.
(3) Although the standard clearly
applies to front-end loaders used in
surface operations, when discussing the
standard for backup alarms, 30 CFR
57.14132 explicitly mentions and
exempts load, haul, dump vehicles from
that standard by name; [the back-up
alarm/horn requirement] is applicable to
surface mines and surface areas of
underground mines only, because the
construction of load, haul, dump
vehicles generally used underground is
such that the view to the rear is less
likely to be obstructed. If 30 CFR
57.14106(a) was meant to apply to
LHDs, the standard would have
specifically referenced this type of
equipment.
The petitioner asserts that application
of the existing standard would result in
diminution of safety to the miners.

DATES: Comments are encouraged and

ADDRESSES: Interested persons are

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive
Positions, SF 85, housed in a system
named e-QIP (Electronic Questionnaires
for Investigative Processing), is an
information collection completed by
applicants for, or incumbents of, Federal
Government civilian or military
positions, or positions in private entities
performing work for the Federal
Government under contract. The
collection is used as the basis of
information:
• by the Federal Government in
conducting background investigations of
persons under consideration for nonsensitive, low-risk positions as defined
in Executive Order 10450 and 5 CFR
part 731;
• by agencies in determining whether
a person performing work for or on
behalf of the Federal Government under
a contract should be deemed eligible for
logical or physical access or fit to
perform the work anticipated, if the
contract provides for such an
adjudication.
The SF 85 is completed by civilian
employees of the Federal Government,
military personnel, and non-federal
employees, including Federal
contractors and individuals otherwise

not directly employed by the Federal
Government but who perform work for
or on behalf of the Federal Government.
It is estimated that 55,040 non-Federal
individuals, will complete the SF 85
annually for investigations conducted
by OPM. The SF 85 takes approximately
30 minutes to complete. The estimated
annual burden for this form when used
in OPM investigations is 27,520 hours.
Verbiage was added to the
Authorization for Release of Information
authorizing the Social Security
Administration (SSA) to verify
respondent’s Social Security Number
and provide the results to OPM.
Clarifying language was added to the
Authorization for Release of Information
to specify that sources of information
may include publically available
electronic information. This ICR also
requests categorizing the form as a
common form. OPM will continue to
estimate the burden based on all Federal
agencies that submit the SF 85 to OPM
for investigation. Once OMB approves
the use of this common form, all Federal
agencies using the form not in
connection with an OPM investigation
may request use of this this common
form without additional 60 or 30 day
notice and comment requirements. At
that point, each agency will account for
its number of respondents and the
burden associated with the agency’s use.
No other changes are proposed.

Acting Director.
