SUMMARY:

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
collections of information in accordance
with the 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

(MSHA) is soliciting comments on the
information collection for Emergency
Mine Evacuation.
DATES: All comments must be received
on or before May 31, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) requires each
operator of an underground coal mine to
submit a Mine Emergency Evacuation
and Firefighting Program of Instruction
to the District Manager for approval.
Upon approval by the MSHA District
Manager, the operator uses the approved
program of instruction to implement
programs for training miners in

e 10 reinter-

responding appropriately to mine
emergencies. MSHA uses the plans to
ensure that the operator’s program will
provide the required training and drills
to all miners. MSHA requires the
operator to certify the training and drill
for each miner at the completion of each
quarterly drill, annual expectations
training, or other training, and that a
copy be provided to the miner upon
request. These certifications are used by
MSHA, operators, and miners as
evidence that the required training has
been completed. MSHA requires that
escapeway maps show the SCSR storage
locations. Accurate and up-to-date maps
are essential to the engineering plans
and safe operation of mines and to the
health and safety of the miners. MSHA
and other emergency evacuation
personnel will use the notations on the
maps should a rescue or recovery
operation be necessary. Miners use the
escapeway maps in training and during
mine evacuations. Escapeway maps are
required to be posted or readily
accessible for all miners in each
working section, areas where
mechanized mining equipment is being
installed or removed, at surface
locations where miners congregate and
in each refuge alternative. MSHA
requires that persons that test SelfContained, Self-Rescuers (SCSRs) certify
that the tests were done and record all
corrective actions. MSHA inspectors use
these records to determine compliance
with the standards. It includes
requirements for compiling,
maintaining, and reporting an inventory
of all SCSRs at the mine, and for
reporting defects, performance
problems, or malfunctions with SCSRs.
This will assure that MSHA can
investigate SCSR problems, if necessary,
notify other users of these problems
before accidents occur and require

manufacturers to address potential
problems with these critical devices.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Emergency Mine
Evacuation. 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
• 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.
The information collection request
will be available on http://
www.regulations.gov. MSHA cautions
the commenter against providing any
information in the submission that
should not be publicly disclosed. Full
comments, including personal
information provided, will be made
available on www.regulations.gov and
www.reginfo.gov.
The public may also examine publicly
available documents at USDOL-Mine

OMB Approval Number: 3145–0180.
Abstract: NSF, pursuant to the
Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978 (16
U.S.C. 2401 et seq.) (‘‘ACA’’) regulates
certain non-governmental activities in
Antarctica. The ACA was amended in
1996 by the Antarctic Science, Tourism,
and Conservation Act. On September 7,
2001, NSF published a final rule in the
Federal Register (66 FR 46739)
implementing certain of these statutory
amendments. The rule requires nongovernmental Antarctic expeditions
using non-U.S. flagged vessels to ensure
that the vessel owner has an emergency
response plan. The rule also requires
persons organizing a non-governmental
expedition to provide expedition
members with information on their
environmental protection obligations
under the Antarctic Conservation Act.
Expected Respondents. Respondents
may include non-profit organizations
and small and large businesses. The
