Final Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement and Revised
Comprehensive Management Plan,

Counties, CA; Notice of Approval of
Record of Decision
Summary: Pursuant to § 102(2)(C) of
the National Environmental Policy Act
of 1969 (Pub. L. 91–190, as amended)
and the regulations promulgated by the
Council on Environmental Quality (40
CFR 1505.2)—and in accord with
instructions of the U.S. District Court—
the Department of the Interior, National
Park Service has prepared and approved
a Record of Decision for the Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement and Merced River Revised
Comprehensive Management Plan,
Yosemite National Park. This
programmatic Plan addresses NPS
stewardship of an 81 mile segment of
the 122 miles of the Merced River
designated as ‘‘Wild and Scenic’’ by
Congress in 1987. The requisite noaction period was initiated June 24,
2005, with the Environmental
Protection Agency’s Federal Register
notification of the filing of the Final
Supplemental Environmental Impact
Statement (FSEIS).
Decision: As soon as practical the
National Park Service will begin to
implement the Revised Comprehensive
Management Plan described as the
Preferred Alternative (Alternative 2)
contained in the FSEIS. This alternative
was deemed to be the ‘‘environmentally
preferred’’ alternative. This course of
action and three alternatives (including
no-action) were identified and analyzed
in the Final and Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statements (the
opportunity for public review of the
latter was announced in the Federal
Register on January 14, 2005). The full

I. Background
Noise is one of the most pervasive
health hazards in mining. Exposure to
hazardous sound levels results in the
development of occupational noiseinduced hearing loss (NIHL), a serious
physical, psychological, and social
problem. NIHL can be distinguished
from aging and medical factors,
diagnosed, and prevented. NIHL is
among the ‘‘top ten’’ leading
occupational diseases and injuries.
For many years, the risk of acquiring
an NIHL was accepted as an inevitable
consequence associated with mining
occupations. Miners use mechanized
equipment and work under conditions
that often expose them to hazardous
sound levels. But MSHA standards,
OSHA standards, military standards,
and others around the world have been
established in recognition of the
controllability of this risk. Records of
miner exposures are necessary so that
mine operators and MSHA can evaluate
the need for and effectiveness of
engineering controls, administrative
controls, and personal protective
equipment to protect miners from
harmful levels of exposure.
III. Current Actions
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of the information collection
related to the Noise Exposure
Assessment; Audiometric Testing,
Evaluation, and Records and Training in
all Mines. 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 will have practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• 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,
Records of miner exposures are
necessary so that mine operators and
MSHA can ensure that engineering
controls, administrative controls, and
personal protective equipment are used
to protect miners from harmful levels of
exposure. However, the Agency believes
that extensive records for this purpose
now maintained by the coal mining
sector are not needed, Part 62 replaced
these requirements with a performanceoriented approach to monitoring. The
final rule expanded notification of
exposure information to miners to assist
them in becoming more active
participants in hearing conservation
efforts. Hearing tests of miners are
offered and if a miner takes the test,
mine operators are required to compile
and maintain a record of each
audiometric test. Detection of a hearing
loss can trigger certain protective
actions under Part 62. The record will
be used by mine operators and MSHA
to verify that the testing was done and
the required actions implemented. Part
62 also requires the mine operator to
provide training to overexposed miners
about the hazards of noise exposure,
hearing protector selection and use, the
hearing test program, and the operator’s
noise controls. Records of training are
needed to confirm that miners receive
the information they need to become
active participants in hearing
conservation efforts. There is no existing
requirement for such records; however,
training records required under other
MSHA regulations are used for similar
purposes.

Agency: Mine Safety and Health
Administration.

audiometric testing, evaluation, and
records and training in all mines.
