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 and metal and nonmetal
mines.
30 CFR 71.400 (Bathing facilities;
change rooms; sanitary flush toilet
facilities), 71.401 (Location of facilities),
71.402 (Minimum requirements for
bathing facilities, change rooms, and
sanitary flush toilet facilities) and
75.1712–1 (Availability of surface
bathing facilities; change rooms; and
sanitary facilities), 75.1712–2 (Location
of surface facilities), 75.1712–3
(Minimum requirements of surface
bathing facilities, change rooms, and
sanitary toilet facilities) 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, the
operator may apply for a waiver. 71.403
(Waiver of surface facilities
requirements; posting of waiver), 71.404
(Application for waiver of surface
facilities requirements), 75.1712–4

(Waiver of surface facilities
requirements), and 75.1712–5
(Application for waiver of surface
facilities) provide procedures by which
an operator may apply for and be
granted a waiver. Applications must be
submitted to the MSHA 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 1 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 Facilities
Requirements. MSHA is particularly
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
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
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.
The information collection request
will be available on https://
www.regulations.gov. MSHA cautions
the commenter against providing any
information in the submission that
should not be publicly disclosed. Full
comments, including personal
information provided, will be made
available on www.regulations.gov and
www.reginfo.gov.
The public may also examine publicly
available documents at DOL–MSHA,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of
the continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent (i.e.,
employer) burden, conducts a
preclearance consultation program to
provide the public with an opportunity
to comment on proposed and
continuing information collection
requirements in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA)
(44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program
ensures that information is in the
desired format, reporting burden (time

PO 00000

Frm 00089

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

and costs) is minimal, the collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et seq.)
authorizes information collection by
employers as necessary or appropriate
for enforcement of the OSH Act or for
developing information regarding the
causes and prevention of occupational
injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29
U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act also requires
that OSHA obtain such information
with minimum burden upon employers,
especially those operating small
businesses, and to reduce to the
maximum extent feasible unnecessary
duplication of effort in obtaining
information (29 U.S.C. 657).
The following sections describe who
uses the information collected under
each requirement, as well as how they
use it. The purpose of these
requirements is to reduce employees’
risk of death or serious injury by
ensuring that employment has been
tested and is in safe operating condition.
The OSH Act authorizes the
Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA or agency) to
conduct education and training courses
(29 U.S.C. 670). These courses must
educate an adequate number of
qualified personnel to fulfill the
purposes of the OSH Act, provide them
with short-term training, inform them of
the importance and proper use of safety
and health equipment, and train
employers and workers to recognize,
avoid, and prevent unsafe and
unhealthful working conditions.
Under section 21 of the OSH Act, the
OSHA Training Institute (OTI or
Institute) provides basic, intermediate,
and advanced training and education in
occupational safety and health for state
compliance officers, agency
professionals and technical-support
personnel, employers, workers,
organizations representing workers and
employers, educators who develop
curricula and teach occupational safety
and health courses, and representatives
of professional safety and health groups.
The Institute provides courses on
occupational safety and health at its
national training facility in Arlington
Heights, Illinois.
All course information, materials,
tests, and virtual links are now managed
through a learning management system.
Non-Federal OSHA students attending
Institute courses must request new user
login credentials to access the learning
management system. New user
credentials can be requested through
https://www.oshaelearning.geniussis.
