I. Background

All comments must be received

ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the
information collection requirements of

A. Legal Authority
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), as amended, 30 U.S.C. 813(h),
authorizes the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) to collect
information necessary to carry out its
duty in protecting the safety and health
of miners. Further, section 101(a) of the
Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811(a), authorizes
the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to
develop, promulgate, and revise, as may
be appropriate, improved mandatory
health or safety standards for the
protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal, metal and nonmetal
(MNM) mines.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) governs paperwork burdens
imposed on the public by Federal
agencies for using identical questions to
collect information from 10 or more
persons. The PRA defines paperwork
burden in 44 U.S.C. 3502(2) as time,
effort, or financial resources expended
to generate, maintain, or provide
information to or for a Federal agency.

The Department of Labor
(DOL), as part of its continuing effort to
reduce paperwork and respondent
burden, conducts a pre-clearance
consultation program for all information
collections, to provide the public and
Federal agencies with an opportunity to
comment on proposed collections of
information, in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. The Mine Safety and
Health Administration (MSHA) is
soliciting comments on the information
collection titled ‘‘Cleanup Program for
Accumulations of Coal and Float Coal
Dusts, Loose Coal, and Other
Combustibles.’’

Under 44 U.S.C. 3507, the PRA also
establishes policies and procedures of
information collection for controlling
paperwork burdens imposed by Federal
agencies on the public, including
evaluating public comments.
B. Information Collection
To fulfill its statutory mandate to
promote miners’ health and safety,
MSHA requires information collected
under the ICR titled ‘‘Cleanup Program
for Accumulations of Coal and Float
Coal Dusts, Loose Coal, and Other
Combustibles.’’ This information
collection is intended to ensure that
underground coal mine operators
develop and maintain effective cleanup
programs to protect miners from
accumulations of coal dust and float
coal dusts, loose coal, and other
combustibles that could create the
potential of an explosion hazard.
Under 30 CFR 75.400, coal dust,
including float coal dust deposited on
rock-dusted surfaces, loose coal, and
other combustible materials, shall be
cleaned up and not be permitted to
accumulate in active workings, or on
diesel-powered and electric equipment.
Under 30 CFR 75.400–1, coal dust is
defined as particles of coal that can pass
a No. 20 sieve; float coal dust is defined
as the coal dust consisting of particles
of coal that can pass a No. 200 sieve;
and loose coal is defined as coal
fragments larger in size than coal dust.
Under 30 CFR 75.401–1, excessive
amounts of dust is defined as coal and
float coal dust in the air in such
amounts as to create the potential of an
explosion hazard.
Programs for effective and frequent
rock dust cleanup and removal of
accumulations of coal and float coal
dusts, loose coal, and other
combustibles are necessary to protect
miners from the potential for a coal dust
explosion.
Burden costs associated with this ICR
include:
i. Establishing new cleanup programs;
and
ii. Updating existing cleanup
programs.
The associated standards that
authorize the collection of information
are described below.

1. Establishing and Updating Cleanup
Programs (30 CFR 75.400–2)
Under 30 CFR 75.400–2, mine
operators shall establish and maintain
programs for regular cleanup and
removal of accumulations of coal and
float coal dusts, loose coal, and other
combustibles. The programs shall be
made available to the Secretary or
authorized representative.

II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection titled ‘‘Cleanup Program for
Accumulations of Coal and Float Coal
Dusts, Loose Coal, and Other
Combustibles.’’ MSHA is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the information
collection is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden of the
information collection, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Suggest methods to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
information collection 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.
The ICR is available on https://
www.regulations.gov. MSHA cautions
commenters against providing any
information in the submission that
should not be publicly disclosed. Full
comments, including personal
information provided, will be made
available on https://
www.regulations.gov and https://
www.reginfo.gov.
The public may also examine publicly
available documents at DOL–MSHA,
Office of Standards, Regulations and

appointment.
Questions about the ICR may be
directed to the person listed in the FOR
FURTHER INFORMATION section of this
notice.
