or to use other methods for reducing
non-fire alerts and alarm levels,
provided they are specified and
approved in the mine ventilation plan.
Permission for such time delays, or
other methods of reducing non-fire
alerts and alarms, would be granted
based on associated documentation that
justifies these changes.
Sections 75.351(n)(2) and 75.351(n)(3)
require that alarms for AMS be tested
every seven days and CO, smoke, or
methane sensors be calibrated, every 31
days, respectively.
Section 75.351(o)(1)(i) requires that a
record be made if the AMS emits an
alert or alarm signal. The record would
consist of the date, time, location, and
type of sensor, and the reason for its
activation.
Section 75.351(o)(1)(ii) requires that,
if an AMS malfunctions, a record be
made of the date, the extent and cause
of the malfunction, and the corrective
action taken to return the system to
proper operating condition.
Section 75.351(o)(1)(iii) requires that
the persons doing the weekly test of
alert and alarm signals, the monthly
calibration, or maintenance of the
system make a record of these tests,
calibrations, or maintenance.
Section 75.351(o)(3) requires that all
records concerning the AMS be kept in
a book or electronically in a computer
system that is secure and not
susceptible to alteration.
Section 75.351(p) requires the mine
operator to keep these records for at
least one year at a surface location and
to make them available for inspection by
authorized representatives of the
Secretary and representatives of miners.
Section 75.351(q)(3) requires that a
record of annual AMS operator training
be kept. The record will include the
content of training, the person
conducting the training, and the date
the training is conducted. The record
needs to be maintained at the mine site
by the mine operator for at least one
year.
Sections 75.352(a), 75.352(b) and
75.352(c) require the designated AMS
operator or other appropriate personnel
to notify, investigate, or evacuate when
malfunction, alert, or alarm signals are
received.
Section 75.371(hh) requires reporting
within the mine ventilation plan of the
‘‘ambient level in parts per million of
carbon monoxide, and the method for
determining the ambient level, in all
areas where carbon monoxide sensors
are installed.’’ This provision is
impacted by section 75.351(j).
Section 75.371(kk) requires the
locations where air quantities are
measured as set forth in section

VerDate Sep<11>2014

75.350(b)(6) be included in the mine
ventilation plan.
Section 75.371(ll) requires the
locations and use of point feed
regulators, in accordance with Sections
75.350(c) and 75.350(d)(5),to be in the
mine ventilation plan.
Section 75.371(mm) requires the
location of any diesel-discriminating
sensor and additional carbon monoxide
or smoke sensors installed in the belt air
course to be included in the mine
ventilation plan.
Sections 75.371(nn), 75.371(oo), and
75.371(pp) require modification of the
mine ventilation plan to show the
length of the time delay or any other
method used for reducing the number of
non-fire related alert and alarm signals
from CO sensors, the lower alert and
alarm setting for CO sensors, and the
alternate instrument and the alert and
alarm levels associated with the
instrument, respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background: The Migrant and
Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection
Act (MSPA) provides that no person
shall engage in any farm labor
contracting activity for any money or
valuable consideration paid or promised
to be paid, unless such person has a
certificate of registration from the
Secretary of Labor specifying which
farm labor contracting activities such
person is authorized to perform. See 29
U.S.C. 1802(7), 1811(a); 29 CFR 500.1(c),
–.20(i), –.40. MSPA also provides that a
Farm Labor Contractor (FLC) shall not
hire, employ, or use any individual to
perform farm labor contracting activities
unless such individual has a certificate
of registration as a FLC or a certificate
of registration as a Farm Labor
Contractor Employee (FLCE) of the FLC
that authorizes the activity for which
such individual is hired, employed or
used. 29 U.S.C. 1811(b); 29 CFR
500.1(c). Form WH–530 is an
application used to obtain a Farm Labor
Contractor License. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through March 31, 2020.
MSPA section 401 (29 U.S.C. 1841)
requires, subject to certain exceptions,
all Farm Labor Contractors (FLCs),
Agricultural Employers (AGERs), and
Agricultural Associations (AGASs) to
ensure that any vehicle they use or
cause to be used to transport or drive
any migrant or seasonal agricultural
worker conforms to safety and health
standards prescribed by the Secretary of
Labor under the MSPA and with other
applicable Federal and State safety
standards. These MSPA safety standards
address the vehicle, driver, and
insurance. The Wage and Hour Division
(WHD) has created Forms WH–514,
WH–514a, and WH–515, which allow
FLC applicants to verify to the WHD
that the vehicles used to transport
migrant/seasonal agricultural workers
meet the MSPA vehicle safety standards
and that anyone who drives such
workers meets the Act’s minimum
physical requirements. The WHD uses
the information in deciding whether to
authorize the FLC/FLC Employee
applicant to transport/drive any
migrant/seasonal agricultural worker(s)
or to cause such transportation. Form
WH–514 is used to verify that any
vehicle used or caused to be used to
transport any migrant/seasonal
agricultural worker(s) meets the
Department of Transportation (DOT)
safety standards. When the adopted

PO 00000

Frm 00046

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

DOT rules do not apply, FLC applicants
seeking authorization to transport any
migrant/seasonal agricultural workers
use Form WH–514a to verify that the
vehicles meet the DOL safety standards
and, upon the vehicle meeting the
required safety standards, the form is
completed. Form WH–515 is a doctor’s
certificate used to document that a
motor vehicle driver or operator meets
the minimum DOT physical
requirements that the DOL has adopted.
This information collection is currently
approved for use through March 31,
2020.
II. Review Focus: The DOL is
particularly interested in comments
that:
* 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; 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 submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: The DOL seeks to
revise and extend the information
collection requests for the Application
for a Farm Labor Contractor or Farm
Labor Contractor Employee Certificate
of Registration.
Type of Review: Revision.
Agency: Wage and Hour Division.
Titles: Application for a Farm Labor
Contractor or a Farm Labor Contractor
Employee Certificate of Registration.
OMB Number: 1235–0016.

Doctor’s Certification (WH–515) and 30
minutes for the Farm Labor Contractor
Application (WH–530).
