1219-0024 PUBLISHED 60-Day FRN v 81 85643

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 228 / Monday, November 28, 2016 / Notices
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D).

This ICR
seeks to maintain PRA authorization for
the MSHA Ventilation Plan and Main
Fan Maintenance Record information
collection. An underground mine
usually presents a harsh and hostile
working environment. Pursuant to
statutory authority, the MSHA has
issued regulations under which a mine
operator is required to prepare a written
plan of the mine ventilation system. The
plan must be updated at least annually.
Upon written request of the MSHA
District Manager, the plan or revisions
must be submitted to the MSHA for
review and comment. In addition, the
main ventilation fans for an
underground mine must be maintained
according to either 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
help ensure compliance with the
standard and may serve as a warning
mechanism for possible ventilation
problems before they occur. The MSHA
codified the regulations at 30 CFR
57.8520 and –.8525. Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 section
103(h) authorizes this information
collection. See 30 U.S.C. 813(h).
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
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
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1219–0016. The current
approval is scheduled to expire on
December 31, 2016; however, 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
July 29, 2016 (81 FR 50022).
Interested parties are encouraged to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes
MSHA to collect information necessary
to carry out its duty in protecting the
safety and health of miners.
Title 30 CFR 71.400 through 71.402
and 75.1712–1 through 75.1712–3
require coal mine operators to provide
bathing facilities, clothing change
rooms, and sanitary flush toilet facilities
in a location that is convenient for use
of the miners. If the operator is unable
to meet any or all of the requirements,
he/she may apply for a waiver. Title 30
CFR 71.403, 71.404, 75.1712–4, and

75.1712–5 provide procedures by which
an operator may apply for and be
granted a waiver. Applications are filed
with the District Manager for the district
in which the mine is located and must
contain the name and address of the
mine operator, name and location of the
mine, and a detailed statement of the
grounds on which the waiver is
requested.
Waivers for surface mines may be
granted by the District Manager for a
period not to exceed one year. If the
waiver is granted, surface mine
operators may apply for annual
extensions of the approved waiver.
Waivers for underground mines may be
granted by the District Manager for the
period of time requested by the
underground mine operator as long as
the circumstances that were used to
justify granting the waiver remain in
effect. Waivers are not transferable to a
successor coal mine operator.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Application for
Waiver of Surface Sanitary Facilities’
Requirements (Pertaining to Coal

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

the methodology and assumptions used;
• Suggest methods to enhance the
