SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks PRA authority for the 
Performance Reports for Mine Safety and Health Administration Grants 
information collection. Mine Safety and Health Administration grantees 
are required by DOL regulations to submit project and final reports.
    A grantee submits a technical project report to the MSHA no later 
than 30 days after quarterly deadlines. A technical project report 
provides both quantitative and qualitative information and a narrative 
assessment of performance for the preceding three-month period. This 
includes the current grant progress against the overall grant goals. 
Between reporting dates, the grantee informs MSHA of significant 
developments or problems affecting the organization's ability to 
accomplish the work.

[[Page 14046]]

    A grantee provides (1) a final report that summarizes the technical 
project reports, (2) an evaluation report, and (3) a closeout financial 
report at the end of the grant period project. These final reports are 
due no later than 90 days after the end of the 12-month performance 
period. Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 section 103(h) 
authorizes this information collection. See 30 U.S.C. 813(h).
    This proposed information collection is subject to the PRA. A 
Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of 
information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an 
information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 
and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, 
notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally 
be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of 
information if the collection of information does not display a valid 
Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. For additional 
information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register 
on June 12, 2017 (82 FR 26951).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB ICR Reference Number 201711-
1219-001. The OMB 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 submission of responses.
    Agency: DOL-MSHA.
    Title of Collection: Mine Safety and Health Administration Grant
