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 on the
information collection for Records of
Tests and Examinations of Mine
Personnel Hoisting Equipment.
DATES: All comments must be received
on or before April 28, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Background
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (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.
Under Title 30 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), MSHA has
requirements that address hoists and
appurtenances, including wire rope,
used for hoisting persons. The
requirements address both metal and
nonmetal surface and underground

mines (30 CFR parts 56 and 57); and
underground coal and surface work
areas of underground coal mines (30
CFR parts 75 and 77).
Title 30 CFR 56/57.19022 and 30 CFR
75/77.1432 requires the diameter of
newly installed wire rope to be
measured at least once in every third
interval of the rope’s active length to
establish a baseline for subsequent
semiannual measurements. A record of
the measurements is required to be
made and retained until the rope is
retired from service.
Title 30 CFR 56/57.19023 and 30 CFR
75/77.1433 require the wire rope to be
visually examined at least every
fourteen days for visible structural
damage, corrosion, and improper
lubrication or dressing. If the
examination reveals weakening portions
of the rope, the weakened portions must
be monitored daily for further
deterioration until retirement criteria
require that the rope be removed from
service. The person conducting the
examination must certify that the
examination was made and the record
must be retained for one year.
Title 30 CFR 56/57.19121 requires the
person conducting the inspection, test
or examination of hoisting equipment
certify that these activities have been
done. Any unsafe conditions must be
noted in a record and dated. All
certifications and records must be
retained for one year.
Title 30 CFR 75.1400–2 requires a
record to be made of tests conducted on
safety catches. Safety catches are the last
means to safely stop a falling
conveyance in the event of rope or
equipment failure.
Title 30 CFR 75.1400–4 and 77.1404
require a record to be made of each
daily examination. If any unsafe
condition is found during the
examination, the person conducting the
examination must make a record of the
condition. All certifications and records
must be retained for one year.
Title 30 CFR 77.1906 requires a daily
examination of hoists used for shaft
sinking. If any unsafe condition is found
during the examination, the person
conducting the examination must make
a record of the condition. All
certifications and records must be
retained for one year.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Records of Tests
and Examinations of Mine Personnel
Hoisting Equipment. MSHA is

information to be collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
