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. 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.
Independent contractors perform
services or construction at a mine. They
may be engaged in every type of work
performed at a mine, including
activities such as clearing land,
excavating ore, processing minerals,
maintaining or repairing equipment, or
constructing new buildings or new
facilities, such as shafts, hoists,
conveyors, or kilns. Independent
contractors vary in the number of
employees, the type of work performed,
and the time spent working at mine
sites. Some contractors work exclusively
at mining operations while others may
work a single contract at a mine and
never return to MSHA jurisdiction.
MSHA uses the contractor information
in this information collection request
during inspections to determine the
responsibility for compliance with
safety and health standards.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information

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

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.
Background documents related to this
information collection request are
available at https://regulations.gov and
in DOL–MSHA located at 201 12th
Street South, Suite 4E401, Arlington,
