SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A program for regular cleanup and
removal of accumulations of coal and
float coal dusts, loose coal, and other
combustibles is essential to protect
miners from explosions. Effective and
frequent rock dust application is
necessary to protect miners from the
potential of a float coal dust explosion
or, if one occurs, to reduce its
propagation. Rock dust standards were
published (35 FR 17097, November 20,
1970) as part of a final rule that
implemented requirements contained in
the 1969 Federal Coal Mine Health and
Safety Act.
Section 75.400–2 requires that mine
operators establish and maintain a
‘‘program for regular cleanup and
removal of accumulations of coal and
float coal dusts, loose coal, and other
combustibles.’’ In addition, the cleanup
program must be available to the
Secretary or authorized representative
(AR).
On September 23, 2010, MSHA issued
an emergency temporary standard (ETS)
on the maintenance of incombustible
content of rock dust. The ETS, which
became a final rule on June 21, 2011,
increased the total incombustible

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

content of combined coal dust, rock
dust, and other dust to at least 80
percent in underground areas of
bituminous coal mines. To clarify
MSHA’s standards under the ETS, the
Agency issued Program Information
Bulletin (PIB) No. P10–18,
‘‘Accumulation of Combustible
Materials and Rock Dust’’, which
included information on a mine
operator’s responsibility to establish and
maintain a program for the regular
cleanup and removal of accumulations
of coal and float coal dusts and other
combustibles.
Based on its investigation of the April
5, 2010 explosion at the Upper Big
Branch mine (UBB), MSHA issued a
report on December 6, 2011, in which
the Agency concluded that
accumulations of coal and float coal
dusts, and loose coal were contributing
factors to the explosion. In response to
the UBB explosion, MSHA determined
that it is necessary to place more
emphasis on improved rock dusting in
underground coal mines, including
improved operators’ cleanup programs.
A written cleanup program documents
how an operator plans to conduct
regular cleanup and removal of
accumulations of coal and float coal
dust, loose coal and other combustibles
to better protect miners from the hazard
of coal dust explosions.
The standard for mine operators to
establish and maintain a cleanup
program predates the PRA, and MSHA
discovered that it lacked OMB approval.
This collection of information provides
the required OMB clearance under the
PRA.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
information collection related to the
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 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 MSHA’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.
OMB clearance requests are available
on MSHA’s Web site at http://
www.msha.gov under ‘‘Federal Register
Documents’’ on the right side of the
screen by selecting ‘‘New and Existing
Information Collections and Supporting
Statements.’’ The document will be
available on MSHA’s Web site for 60
days after the publication date of this
notice, and on http://
www.regulations.gov. Comments
submitted in writing or in electronic
form will be made available for public
inspection on http://
www.regulations.gov. Because
comments will not be edited to remove
any identifying information, MSHA
cautions the commenter against
including any information in the
submission that should not be publicly
disclosed.
The public also may examine publicly
available documents at MSHA, Office of
Standards, Regulations, and Variances,
1100 Wilson Boulevard, Room 2350,
Arlington, VA 22209–3939.
Questions about the information
collection requirements may be directed
to the person listed in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION 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 used 2012 data for the number of
respondents and responses, as well as
the total burden hours and burden costs
supporting this information collection
request.
MSHA does not intend to publish the
results from this information collection
and is not seeking approval to either
display or not display the expiration
date for the OMB approval of this
information collection.
There are no certification exceptions
identified with this information
collection and the collection of this
information does not employ statistical
methods.
