be carried out in a subset of YCC
grantees. An implementation study will
draw on data gathered from all YCC
grantees.
This request is part of a larger study
which has had other components
approved under prior clearance
numbers. The YCC Participant Tracking
System (PTS) was approved on March
20, 2015 under OMB Control No 1291–
0002. Data collection instruments used
for the baseline portion of the RCT and
the instruments used for the
implementation study were approved
on April 15, 2015 under OMB Control
No 1291–0003.
This Federal Register Notice provides
the opportunity to comment on the
proposed data collection instrument
that will be used in the RCT and QED:
• Student follow-up survey and
student assent. The follow-up survey
will be administered approximately 24months following random assignment to
students in the RCT treatment and

control groups via web and telephone
interviewing. This survey will collect
information on experiences at school,
behavior in school, activities,
employment experience, and plans for
future education. Additionally, as part
of the follow-up survey instrument, all
students will again be asked to assent to
data collection.
II. Desired Focus of Comments:
Currently, DOL is soliciting comments
concerning the above data collection for
the RCT portion of the YCC evaluation.
DOL is particularly interested in
comments that do the following:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, 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.
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected.
• 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—
for example, permitting electronic
submission of responses.
III. Current Actions: At this time, the
Department of Labor is requesting
clearance for the student follow-up
survey.
Type of Review: New information
collection request.
OMB Control Number: 1290–0NEW.
Affected Public: Students and parents
who previously applied for YCC
program and district staff.

and training is an important element of
federal efforts to make the nation’s
mines safe. Title 30, CFR Sections 48.3
and 48.23 require training plans for
underground and surface mines,
respectively. The standards are intended
to assure that miners will be effectively
trained in matters affecting their health
and safety, with the ultimate goal being
the reduction of injuries and illness in
the nation’s mines. Training plans are
required to be submitted for approval to
the MSHA District Manager for the area
in which the mine is located. Plans
must contain the company name, mine
name, and MSHA identification number
of the mine; the name and position of
the person designated by the operator
who is responsible for health and safety
training at the mine; a list of MSHA
approved instructors with whom the
operator proposes to make arrangements
to teach the courses and the courses
each instructor is qualified to teach; the
location where training will be given for
each course; a description of the
teaching methods and the course
materials which are to be used in
training; the approximate number of
miners employed at the mine and the
maximum number who will attend each
session of training; the predicted time or
periods of time when regularly
scheduled refresher training will be
given including the titles of courses to
be taught, the total number of
instruction hours for each course, and
the predicted time and length of each
session of training; and for new task
training, a complete list of task
assignments, the titles of personnel
conducting the training, the outline of
training procedures used, and the
evaluation procedures used to
determine the effectiveness of the
training. Records of training are
required for underground and surface
mines under sections 48.9 and 48.29.
