cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
approved by the OMB under the PRA
and displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5

obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1219–0078.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
March 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more
years, without any change to existing
requirements. The DOL notes that
existing information collection
requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
September 23, 2015 (80 FR 57398).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments

1219–0078. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• 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.

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. 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.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Cleanup Program
for Accumulations of Coal and Float
Coal Dusts, Loose Coal, and Other
