SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 2006,
the Department promulgated a final
class exemption, PTE 2006–16, which
amended and replaced the exemptions
previously provided under PTE 81–6
and PTE 82–63. The final exemption
incorporates the exemptions into one
renumbered exemption and expands the
categories of exempted transactions to
include securities lending to foreign
banks and foreign broker-dealers that
are domiciled in specified countries and
to allow the use of additional forms of
collateral, all subject to specified
conditions outlined in the exemption.
Among other conditions, the class
exemption requires a bank or brokerdealer that borrows securities from a
plan to provide the lending fiduciary
with its most recent audited financial
statement and its most recent unaudited
statement if the unaudited statement is
more recent than the audited financial
statement. The borrower must also
represent, at the time the loan is
negotiated, that there has been no
material adverse change in its financial
condition since the date of the most
recent financial statement provided to
the plan that has not been disclosed to
the lending fiduciary. The exemption
also requires the loan be made pursuant
to a written loan agreement. Individual
agreements are not required for each
transaction; rather the compensation
agreement may be made in the form of
a master agreement covering a series of
transactions. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on January 6, 2025 (90 FR 671).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of

the functions of the Department,
including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information collection; and
(4) ways to minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including the use of
automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless the OMB
approves it and displays a currently
valid OMB Control Number. In addition,
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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

VerDate Sep<11>2014

19:50 May 28, 2025

Jkt 265001

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
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 to control paperwork
burdens imposed by Federal agencies on
the public, including evaluating public
comments.
B. Information Collection
To fulfill the statutory mandate of
promoting miners’ health and safety,
MSHA requires information under the
information collection request (ICR)
titled ‘‘Underground Coal Mine Fire
Protection.’’ The information collection
is intended for MSHA to ensure mine
operators keep proper records for the
examination and testing of firefighting
equipment, automatic fire sensor and
warning device systems, fire hydrants
and fire hoses, and fire suppression
devices. It is also intended to ensure
that mine operators certify the
emergency response training for the
designated responsible persons and
maintain mine emergency evacuation
and firefighting programs of instruction.
Burden and costs associated with this
ICR include:
1. examining chemical extinguishers
and recording dates;
2. updating maps or schematic with
locations of sensors of automatic fire
warning devices;
3. functional testing the warning
signals and calibrating sensors in
automatic fire sensor and warning
device systems;
4. testing each fire hydrant and fire
hose;
5. certifying mine emergency
evacuation response training; and
6. submitting mine emergency
evacuation and firefighting program of
instruction for MSHA approval.
Below are described the relevant
safety and information collection
requirements.

least once each shift, when belts are
operated as part of a production shift. A
functional test of the warning signals
must be made at least once every seven
days. Examination and maintenance of
the systems must be done by a qualified
person.
Under 30 CFR 75.1103–8(b), a record
of the functional test must be
maintained by the operator and kept for
a period of one year.
Under 30 CFR 75.1103–8(c), sensors
must be calibrated in accordance with
the manufacturer’s calibration
instructions at intervals not to exceed 31

of these tests must be maintained at an
appropriate location.
5. Certifying Mine Emergency Response
Training
Under 30 CFR 75.1501(a), for each
shift that miners work underground,
there must be in attendance a
responsible person designated by the
mine operator to take charge during
mine emergencies involving a fire,
explosion, or gas or water inundation.
