abate hazardous conditions and must be
signed or countersigned each day by at
least one of the following persons:
(1) The surface mine foreman;

safety at the mine; or,

III. Current Actions
This information collection request
concerns provisions for Daily Inspection
of Surface Coal Mine; Certified Person;
Reports of Inspection (Pertains to
Surface Coal Mines). MSHA has
updated the data with respect to the
number of respondents, responses, time

1. Conducting Daily Inspections
Under 30 CFR 77.1713(a), at least
once during each working shift, or more
often if necessary for safety, each active
working area and each active surface
installation must be examined by a
certified person designated by the
operator to conduct examinations for
hazardous conditions and any
hazardous conditions noted during the
examinations must be reported to the
operator and must be corrected by the
operator.
Under 30 CFR 77.1713(b), if any
hazardous condition noted during an
examination creates an imminent
danger, the person conducting the
examination must notify the operator
and the operator must withdraw all
persons from the area affected, except
those exempted persons referred to in
section 104(c) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C.
814(c), until the danger is abated.
2. Creating Inspection Records
Under 30 CFR 77.1713(c), after each
examination, each certified person who
conducted all or any part of the required
examination must enter with ink or
indelible pencil in a book approved by
the Secretary the date and a report of the
condition of the mine or any area of the
mine which he has inspected together
with a report of the nature and location
of any hazardous condition found to be
present at the mine. The book in which
the entries are made must be kept in an
area at the mine designated by the
operator to minimize the danger of
destruction by fire or other hazard.

I. Background
A. Legal Authority
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) as amended, 30 U.S.C. 813(h),
authorizes the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (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(a), 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, metal, and nonmetal
mines.
The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA)
governs paperwork burdens imposed by
Federal agencies on the public for using
identical questions to collect
information from 10 or more persons.
Paperwork burden is defined in 44
U.S.C. 3502(2) as time, effort, or
financial resources expended to
generate, maintain, or provide
information to or for a Federal agency.
Under 44 U.S.C. 3507, policies and
procedures of information collection are
established for controlling paperwork
burdens imposed by Federal agencies on
the public, including evaluating public
comments.
B. Information Collection
To fulfill the statutory mandates to
promote miners’ health and safety,

VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001

MSHA requires information under the
information collection request (ICR)
titled ‘‘Gamma Radiation Surveys.’’ The
information collection is intended to
ensure that mine operators monitor and
maintain records of employee exposures
to gamma rays so to minimize the
negative health effects on miners.
Gamma radiation occurs where
radioactive materials are present.
Natural sources of gamma radiation
include uranium and other radioactive
elements that can be found in rocks,
soils, and ground water. Gamma
radiation may also be found near
equipment with radiation sources in
surface and underground mine
operations where gamma rays are used
to measure the level and density of
liquids, slurries, or solids. The
equipment includes X-ray machines,
weightometers, nuclear gauges, and
diffraction units that are mounted
outside tanks, pipes, bins, hoppers, or
other types of vessels, and contain
radioactive materials.
The adverse health effects from
exposure to gamma radiation vary
depending upon the energy level of the
radiation, the cumulative length of
exposure, and the type of cell affected.
Gamma rays penetrate the body and can
cause cell death or damage in their path
which can affect many of the body’s
organs. If a radioactive element is
inhaled or ingested, gamma radiation
can also be emitted and absorbed
internally. As a result, gamma radiation
can cause many types of cancer.
Burden costs associated with the ICR
include:
1. conducting annual gamma
radiation surveys; and
2. recording cumulative individual
gamma radiation exposure.
Authorization and the associated rule
text are described below.
1. Conducting Gamma Radiation
Surveys
Under section 103(c) of the Mine Act,
30 U.S.C. 813(c), MSHA is required to
issue regulations requiring operators to
maintain accurate records of employee
exposures to potentially toxic materials
or harmful physical agents which are
required to be monitored or measured
under any applicable mandatory health
or safety standard promulgated under
the Act.
Under 30 CFR 57.5047(a), mine
operators are required to conduct
gamma radiation surveys annually in all
underground mines where radioactive
ores are mined. Under 30 CFR
57.5047(b), surveys must be conducted
in accordance with American National
Standards Institute (ANSI) Standard
N13.8–1973, titled ‘‘Radiation

PO 00000

Frm 00095

Fmt 4703

22773

Protection in Uranium Mines’’, which is
incorporated by reference.
2. Recording Cumulative Gamma
Radiation Exposure
Under 30 CFR 57.5047(c), where
average gamma radiation measurements
are in excess of 2.0 milliroentgens per
hour in the working place, gamma
radiation dosimeters must be provided
for all persons affected, and records of
cumulative individual gamma radiation
exposure must be kept. Under 30 CFR
57.5047(d), an annual individual gamma
radiation exposure cannot exceed 5
rems.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Gamma Radiation
Surveys. 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 https://
