information will be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) the accuracy of

cost of the collection of information,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 and metal and nonmetal
mines. Title 30 CFR 56.19057 and
57.19057 require the examination and
certification of hoist operators’ physical
fitness by a qualified, licensed
physician, within 12 months preceding
hoisting duties. The safety of all metal
and nonmetal miners riding hoist
conveyances is largely dependent upon
the attentiveness and physical
capabilities of the hoist operator.
Improper movements, overspeed, and
overtravel of a hoisting conveyance can
result in serious physical harm or death
to passengers.
For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on May 12, 2020 (85 FR 28039).

of information, and the public is

information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently

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 OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.

of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR)
section 57.11053 requires the
development of specific escape and
evacuation plans that address the
unique conditions of each underground
metal and nonmetal mine. Section
57.11053 also requires that mine
operators make revisions to the escape
and evacuation plan for an underground
metal and nonmetal mine as mining
progresses. The plan must be available
to representatives of MSHA and
conspicuously posted at the mine at
locations convenient to all persons on
the surface and underground. The mine
operator and MSHA are required to
jointly review the plan at least once
every 6 months. The following
information is required with each
escape and evacuation plan submission:
• Mine maps or diagrams showing
directions of principal air flow, location
of escape routes, and locations of
existing telephones, primary fans,

will be notified of an emergency;
• An escape plan for each working
area in the mine, including instructions
showing how each working area should

transportation facilities, emergency
power, and ventilation, and the location
of rescue personnel and equipment.
