DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Proposed Collection; Comment
Request; Operations Under Water
Mine Safety and Health
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: 60-Day Notice.

I. Background

The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. This
program helps to assure 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.
DATES: All comments must be
postmarked or received by midnight
Eastern Standard Time on July 23, 2013.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the
information collection requirements of
this notice may be sent by any of the
methods listed below.
• Federal E-Rulemaking Portal:
http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the
on-line instructions for submitting
comments for docket number [MSHA–
2013–0009].
• Regular Mail or Hand Delivery:
MSHA, Office of Standards,

Title 30 CFR 75.1716, 75.1716 1 and
75.1716 3 require operators of
underground coal mines to provide
MSHA notification before mining under
bodies of water and to obtain a permit
to mine under a body of water if, in the
judgment of the Secretary, it is
sufficiently large to constitute a hazard
to miners. The regulation is necessary to
prevent the inundation of underground
coal mines with water that has the
potential of drowning miners. Section
103(h) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 813,
authorizes MSHA to collect information
necessary to carry out its duty in
protecting the safety and health of
miners.
The coal mine operator submits an
application for the permit to the District
Manager in whose district the mine is
located. Applications contain the name
and address of the mine; projected
mining and ground support plans; a
mine map showing the location of the
river, stream, lake or other body of water
and its relation to the location of all
working places; and a profile map
showing the type of strata and the
distance in elevation between the coal
bed and the water involved. MSHA has
provided an exemption from
notification and permit application for
mine operators where the projected

mining is under any water reservoir
constructed by a Federal agency as of
December 30, 1969, and where the
operator is required by such agency to
operate in a manner that adequately
protects the safety of miners. The
exemption for such mining is addressed
by 30 CFR 75.1716 and 75.1717.
MSHA also encourages a mine
operator to provide more information in
an application. When the operator files
an application for a permit, in addition
to the information required under 30
CFR 75.1716–3, MSHA recommends
mine operators include a map of the
active areas of the mine under the body
of water showing the following: Bottom
of coal elevations (minimum 10-ft
contour intervals); the limits of the body
of water and the estimated quantity of
water in the pool; the limits of the
proposed ‘‘safety zone’’ within which
precautions will be taken; overburden
thickness (depth of cover) contours;
corehole locations; and known faults,
lineaments, and other geologic features.
If the body of water is contained
within an overlying mine, then MSHA
recommends a map of the overlying
mine showing bottom of coal elevations
(minimum 10-ft contour intervals),
when available; corehole locations; the
limits of the body of water with the
estimated quantity of water in the pool;
and, interburden to active mine below
be provided. Operators are also
encouraged to submit other information
such as the methods used to estimate
the quantity of water in the pool;
borehole logs, including geotechnical
information (RQD, fracture logs, etc.) if
available; rock mechanics data on the
overburden, interburden, mine roof, and
mine floor, if available; mining height of
the seam being mined; pillar and floor
stability analyses for the active mine;

whether second mining is planned;
whether mining will be conducted
down-dip or up-dip; where water will
flow to in the active mine if
encountered; pumping capabilities for
dewatering; a comprehensive
evacuation plan for the miners, and a
statement of what in-mine conditions
would trigger the implementation of the
evacuation plan; and training that will
be provided to the miners regarding the
potential hazards.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of the information collection
related to Operations Under Water.
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
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.
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 ‘‘Federal Register
Projects

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. Comments submitted in writing
or in electronic form will be made
available for public inspection on
regulations.gov. 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.
The information obtained from
applicants will be used 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
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.
