I. Background

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

VerDate Mar<15>2010

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, 44
U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). 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.
Currently, the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
information collection for updating
Ventilation Plan and Main Fan
Maintenance Record 30 CFR 57.8520,
and 57.8525.
DATES: All comments must be
postmarked or received by midnight
Eastern Standard Time on October 21,
2013.

Jkt 229001

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813, 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.
Underground mines usually present
harsh and hostile working
environments. The ventilation system is
the most vital life support system in
underground mining and a properly
operating ventilation system is essential
for maintaining a safe and healthful
working environment. A well planned
mine ventilation system is necessary to
assure a fresh air supply to miners at all
working places, to control the amounts
of harmful airborne contaminants in the
mine atmosphere, and to dilute possible
accumulation of explosive gases.

Frm 00044

Sfmt 4703

Lack of adequate ventilation in
underground mines has resulted in
fatalities from asphyxiation and/or
explosions due to a buildup of explosive
gases. Inadequate ventilation can be a
primary factor for deaths caused by
disease of the lungs (e.g. silicosis).
In addition, poor working conditions
from lack of adequate ventilation
contribute to accidents resulting from
heat stress, limited visibility, or
impaired judgment from contaminants.
The mine operator is required to prepare
a written plan of the mine ventilation
system. The plan is required to be
updated at least annually. Upon written
request of the District Manager, the plan
or revisions must be submitted to
MSHA for review and comment.
The main ventilation fans for an
underground mine must be maintained
either according to the manufacturers’
recommendations or a written periodic
schedule. Upon request of an
Authorized Representative of the
Secretary of Labor, this fan maintenance
schedule must be made available for
review. The records assure compliance
with the standard and may serve as a
warning mechanism for possible
ventilation problems before they occur.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
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
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information 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.
This information collection request is
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
information collection request will be
available on MSHA’s Web site for 60
days after the publication date of this
notice, and on http://
www.regulations.gov. Because
