Statistics, including whether the
information will have practical utility;
—Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s
estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
—Evaluate whether and if so how the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected can be
enhanced; and
—Minimize the burden of the collection
of information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms
of information technology, e.g.,
permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Overview of This Information
Collection
1. Type of Information Collection:
Revision and extension of a currently
approved collection of the Department
of Justice Equitable Sharing Agreement
and Certification, a previously approved
collection for which approval will
expire on January 31, 2018.
2. The Title of the Form/Collection:
Department of Justice Equitable Sharing
Agreement and Certification.
3. The agency form number, if any,
and the applicable component of the
Department sponsoring the collection:
There is not an agency form number.
The applicable component within the
Department of Justice is the Asset
Forfeiture and Money Laundering
Section, in the Criminal Division.
4. Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract:
The Attorney General is required by
statute to ‘‘assure that any property
transferred to a State or local law
enforcement agency . . . will serve to
encourage further cooperation between
the recipient State or local agency and
Federal law enforcement agencies.’’ 21
U.S.C. 881(e)(3). The Asset Forfeiture
and Money Laundering Section
(AFMLS) ensures such cooperation by
requiring that all such ‘‘equitably
shared’’ funds be used only for law
enforcement purposes and not be
distributed to other governmental
agencies by the recipient law
enforcement agencies. By requiring that
law enforcement agencies that
participate in the Equitable Sharing
Program (Program) file an Equitable
Sharing Agreement and Certification
(ESAC), AFMLS can readily ensure
compliance with its statutory
obligations.
The ESAC requires information
regarding the receipt and expenditure of

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001

Program funds from the participating
agency. Accordingly, it seeks
information that is exclusively in the
hands of the participating agency.
5. An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond: An estimated 7,600 state and
local law enforcement agencies
electronically file the ESAC annually
with AFMLS. It is estimated that it takes
30 minutes per year to enter the
information. All of the approximately
7,600 agencies must fully complete the
form each year to maintain compliance
and continue participation in the
Department of Justice Equitable Sharing
Program.
6. An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The estimated public burden
associated with this collection is 3,800
hours. It is estimated that respondents
will take 30 minutes to complete the
form. (7,600 participants × 30 minutes =
3,800 hours).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The sinking of slopes and shafts is a
particularly hazardous operation where
conditions change drastically in short
periods of time. Explosive methane and
other harmful gases can be expected to
infiltrate the work environment at any
time. The working environment is
typically a confined area in close
proximity to moving equipment.
Accordingly, 30 CFR Section 77.1901
requires operators to conduct
examinations of slope and shaft areas
for hazardous conditions, including
tests for methane and oxygen
deficiency, within 90 minutes before
each shift, once during each shift, and
before and after blasting. The surface
area surrounding each slope and shaft is
also required to be inspected for
hazards.
The standard also requires that a
record be kept of the results of the
inspections. The record includes a

description of any hazardous condition
found and the corrective action taken to
abate it. The record is necessary to
ensure that the inspections and tests are
conducted in a timely fashion and that
corrective action is taken when
hazardous conditions are identified,
thereby ensuring a safe working
environment for the slope and shaft
sinking employees. The record is
maintained at the mine site for the
duration of the operation.

MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Records of Preshift

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
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. That the application of such
standard to such mine will result in a
diminution of safety to the miners in
such mine.
In addition, the regulations at 30 CFR
