OMB FIRST

IN JULY 1983, AND APPROVED ITS USE THROUGH FEBRUARY 1985 TO GIVE
MSHA TIME TO COMPLETE A SCHEDULED RULEMAKING ON THESE REGULATIONS.

CONSISTENT WITH THE PRA, WE HAVE APPROVED THIS COLLECTION OF
INFORMATI FOR SIX ADDITIONAL MONTHS, WITH THE CONDITION THAT MSHA
RESUBMIT IT WI A FULL EXPLANATION OF THE STATUS OF THE RULEMAKING
