Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 197 / Thursday, October 13, 2005 / Notices
Paragraph (c) requires a plan that does
not include the minimum information
specified in paragraph (b) to be
approved by MSHA. For each size
category, the Agency estimates that 20
percent of mine operators will choose to
write a plan and send it to MSHA for
approval.
Paragraph (d) requires mine operators
to provide miners’ representatives with
a copy of the training plan. At mines
where no miners’ representative has
been designated, a copy of the plan
must be posted at the mine or a copy
must be provided to each miner.
Paragraph (e) provides that within 2
weeks following receipt or posting of
the training plan, miners or their
representatives may submit written
comments on the plan to mine
operators, or to the Regional Manager, as
appropriate. The burden hours and costs
of this provision are not borne by mine
operators, but by miners and their
representatives.
Paragraph (g) requires that the miners’
representative with a copy of the
approved plan within one week after
approval. At mines where no miners’
representative has been designated, a
copy of the plan must be posted at the
mine or a copy must be provided to
each miner.
Paragraph (h) allows mine operators,
miners, and miners’ representatives to
appeal a decision of the Regional
Manager in writing to the Director for
Education Policy and Development. The
Director would issue a decision on the
appeal within 30 days after receipt of
the appeal.
Paragraph (i) requires mine operators
to make available at the mine site a copy
of the current training plan for
inspection by MSHA and for
examination by miners and their
representatives. If the training plan is
not maintained at the mine site, mine
operators must have the capability to
provide the plan upon request by
MSHA, miners, or their representatives.
Paragraph (a) of § 46.5 requires mine
operators to provide each new miner
with no less than 24 hours of training.
Miners who have not received the full
24 hours of new miner training must
work where an experienced miner can
observe that the new miner is working
in a safe manner.
Paragraph (a) of § 46.6 requires mine
operators to provide each newly hired
experienced miner with certain training
before the miner begins work.
Paragraph (a) of § 46.7 requires, before
a miner performs a task for which he or
she has no experience, that the mine
operator train the miner in the safety
and health aspects and safe work
procedures specific to that task. If

Jkt 208001
changes have occurred in a miner’s
regularly assigned task, the mine
operator must provide the miner with
training that addresses the changes.
Paragraph (a) of § 46.8 requires, at
least every 12 months, that the mine
operator provide each miner with no
less than 8 hours of refresher training.
Paragraph (a) of § 46.9 requires the
mine operators upon completion of each
training program, to record and certify
on MSHA Form 5000–23, or on a form
that contains the required information,
that the miner has completed the
training. False certification that training
was completed is punishable under
§ 110(a) and (f) of the Act.
Paragraph (a) of § 46.11 requires the
mine operator to provide site-specific
hazard training to non-miners,
including the following persons:
scientific workers; delivery workers and
customers; occasional, short-term
maintenance or service workers, or
manufacturers’ representatives; and
outside vendors, visitors, office or staff
personnel who do not work at the mine
site on a continuing basis.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
Currently, the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of the information collection
requirement related to the Training and
Retraining of Miners Engaged in Shell
Dredging or Employed at Sand, Gravel,
Surface Stone, Surface Clay, Colloidal
Phosphate, or Surface Limestone Mines.
MSHA is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
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
proposed 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,
e.g., permitting electronic submissions
of responses.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the employee listed in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section of this notice, or viewed on the
PO 00000

Internet by accessing the MSHA home
page (https://www.msha.gov) and then
choosing ‘‘Rules and Regs’’ and
‘‘Federal Register Documents.’’
III. Current Actions
USGS data show that domestic
production of sand and gravel and
crushed stone increased every year
between 1991 and 1999, an indication of
the continuing strong demand for
construction aggregates in the United
Sates. The number of hours worked at
sand and gravel and crushed stone
operations has been increasing steadily
since 1991.
MSHA’s objective in these
requirements is to ensure that all miners
receive the required training, which
would result in a decrease in accidents,
injuries, and fatalities. Therefore, MSHA
is continuing this requirement under 30
CFR 46.3, .5, .6, .7, .8, .9, and .11.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. 030–35882]
Notice of Availability of Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No
Significant Impact for License
Amendment for Purdue Pharma, L.P.’s
Facility in Cranbury, NJ
Nuclear Regulatory
Commission.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Betsy Ullrich, Commercial and R&D
Branch, Division of Nuclear Materials
Safety, Region I, 475 Allendale Road,

337–5269; or by e-mail: exu@nrc.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC) is considering issuing a license
amendment to Purdue Pharma, L.P. for
Materials License No. 29–30698–01, to
authorize release of its facility in
Edgewater, New Jersey, for unrestricted
use. NRC has prepared an
Environmental Assessment (EA) in
support of this action in accordance
with the requirements of 10 CFR part
51. Based on the EA, the NRC has
concluded that a Finding of No
Significant Impact (FONSI) is
appropriate.
II. EA Summary
The purpose of the proposed action is
to authorize the release of two sections
of the licensee’s Cranbury, New Jersey,
facility for unrestricted use. Purdue
Pharma, L.P. was authorized by NRC
from 2002 to use radioactive materials
for research and development purposes
at the site. On April 21, 2005, Purdue
Pharma, L.P. requested that NRC release
two sections of the facility for
unrestricted use. Purdue Pharma, L.P.
has conducted surveys of the two
sections of the facility and provided
information to the NRC to demonstrate
that the site meets the license
termination criteria in subpart E of 10
CFR part 20 for unrestricted use.
The NRC staff has prepared an EA in
support of the license amendment. The
two sections of the facility were
remediated and surveyed prior to the
licensee requesting the license
amendment. The NRC staff has
reviewed the information and final
status survey submitted by Purdue
Pharma, L.P. Based on its review, the
staff has determined that there are no
additional remediation activities
