SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Methane is a flammable gas
commonly found in underground mines
in the United States. Although methane
is often associated with underground
coal mines, it also occurs in some metal
and nonmetal mines (M/NM).
Underground metal and Nonmetal
mines are categorized according to the
potential to liberate methane (30 CFR
57.22003—Mine category or
subcategory). Methane is a colorless,

VerDate Mar<15>2010

16:25 Apr 17, 2012

Jkt 226001

odorless, tasteless gas, and it tends to
rise to the roof of a mine because it is
lighter than air. Although methane itself
is nontoxic, its presence reduces the
oxygen content by dilution when mixed
with air and, consequently. can act as an
asphyxiant when present in large
quantities.
Methane may enter the mining
environment from a variety of sources
including fractures, faults, or shear
zones overlying or underlying the strata
that surround the ore body, or from the
ore body itself. It may occur as an
occluded gas within the ore body.
Methane mixed with air is explosive in
the range of 5 to 15 percent, provided
that 12 percent or more oxygen is
present. The presence of dust containing
volatile matter in the mine atmosphere
may further enhance the explosion
potential of methane in a mine. Section
103(i) of the Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), as
amended, requires additional
inspections to be conducted at mines
depending on the amount of methane
liberated from a mine.
This information collection addresses
the recordkeeping associated with:
30 CFR 57.22004(c)—Category
placement or change in placement
30 CFR 57.22229(c) & (d)—Weekly
testing (I–A, III, and V–A mines)
30 CFR 57.22230(b) & (c)—Weekly
testing (II–A mines)
30 CFR 57.22231—Actions at 0.25
percent methane (I–B, II–B, V–B,
and VI mines)
30 CFR 57.22239—Actions at 2.0
percent methane (IV mines)
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed extension of
the information collection related to
methane detected in the atmosphere of
underground metal and nonmetal
(MNM) Mines. MSHA is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
Agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, 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
• Address 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, to minimize

the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond.
The public may examine publicly
available documents, including the
public comment version of the
supporting statement, at MSHA, Office
of Standards, Regulations, and
Variances, 1100 Wilson Boulevard,
Room 2350, Arlington, VA 22209–3939.
OMB clearance requests are available on
MSHA’s Web site at http://www.msha.
gov under ‘‘Rules & Regs’’ on the right
side of the screen by selecting
Information Collections Requests,
Paperwork Reduction Act Supporting
Statements. The document will be
available on MSHA’s Web site for 60
days after the publication date of this
notice. Comments submitted in writing
or in electronic form will be made
available for public inspection. Because
comments will not be edited to remove
any identifying or contact information,
MSHA cautions the commenter against
including any information in the
submission that should not be publicly
disclosed. Questions about the
information collection requirements
may be directed to the person listed in
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this notice.
III. Current Actions
The information obtained from mine
operators is used by MSHA during
inspections to determine compliance
with safety and health standards. MSHA
has updated the data in respect to the
number of respondents and responses,
as well as the total burden hours and
burden costs supporting this
information collection extension
request.
