I. Background

Proposed Extension of Information
Collection; Permissible Equipment
Testing

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. Further,
section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C.
811, authorizes the Secretary of Labor to
develop, promulgate, and revise as may
be appropriate, improved mandatory
health or safety standards for the
protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal or other mines.
MSHA is responsible for the
inspection, testing approval and
certification, and quality control of
mining equipment and components,
materials, instruments, and explosives
used in both underground and surface
coal, metal, and nonmetal mines. Title
30 Code of Federal Regulations parts 6
through 36 contain procedures by which
manufacturers may apply for and have
equipment approved as ‘‘permissible’’
for use in mines.

Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and/or
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they also
will become a matter of public record.
Signed at Washington, DC, this 9th day of
November 2017.
