Type of Response: Recordkeeping and
Reporting.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit.
Number of Respondents: 627.
Number of Annual Responses: 2,465.
Average Response Time: 24 hours for
new plans; 5 hours to revise a plan; and
5 minutes to plot each unplanned roof
fall, rib fall, and coal rock burst on a

criteria specified in 30 CFR 75.223(b).
Total Annual Burden Hours: 6,919.
Total Annualized Capital/startup
Costs: $0.
Total Annual Costs (Operating/
maintaining Systems or Purchasing
Services): $4,630.
Description: Section 302(a) of the
Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of
1977 (Mine Act) 30 U.S.C. 846, requires
that a roof control plan and revisions
thereof suitable to the roof conditions
and mining system of each coal mine be
first approved by the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) before implementation by
the operator. The plan must show the
type of support and spacing approved
by the Secretary, and the plan must be
reviewed at least every six months by
the Secretary.
Under 30 CFR 75.220 each mine
operator shall develop and follow a roof
control plan, approved by the District
Manager, that is suitable to the
prevailing geological conditions, and
the mining system to be used at the
mine. Additional measures shall be
taken to protect persons if unusual
hazards are encountered.
Under 30 CFR 75.221, the information
required to be submitted and approved
in the roof control plan includes the
following: (1) The name and address of
the company; (2) the name, address,
mine identification number and location
of the mine; (3) the name and title of the
company official responsible for the
plan; (4) a description of the mine strata;
(5) a description and drawings of the
sequence of installation and spacing of
supports for each method of mining
used; (6) the maximum distance that an
ATRS system is to be set beyond the last
row of permanent support (if
appropriate); (7) specifications and
installation procedures for liners or
arches (if appropriate); (8) drawings
indicating the planned width of
openings, size of pillars, method of
pillar recovery, and the sequence of
mining pillars; (9) a list of all support
materials required to be used in the roof,
face and rib control system; (10) the
intervals at which test holds will be
drilled (if appropriate); and (11) a

description of the methods to be used
for the protection of persons. Under 30
CFR 75.215, the roof control plan for
each longwall mining section is
required to specify the methods that
will be used to maintain a safe
travelway out of the section through the
tailgate side of the longwall and the
procedures that will be followed if a
ground failure prevents travel out of the
section through the tailgate side of the
longwall.
Roof control plans are evaluated by
Mine Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) specialists on the basis of the
criteria set forth in 30 CFR 75.222. The
District Manager may require additional
measures in plans and may approve roof
control plans that do not conform to the
applicable criteria in this section,
provided that effective control of the
roof, face, and ribs can be maintained.
Under 30 CFR 75.223, a mine operator
is required to propose revisions to the
roof control plan when conditions
indicate that the plan is not suitable for
controlling the roof, face, ribs, or coal or
rock bursts, or when accident and injury
experience at the mine indicates the
plan is inadequate. Mine operators are
also required to plot on a mine map
each unplanned roof or rib fall and coal
or rock burst that occurs in the active
workings when certain criteria are met.
The regulation also requires MSHA to
review the plan every 6 months.
Roof Control plans provide the means
to instruct miners, who install roof
supports, in the proper use and
placement of roof supports. The plan
also provides a reference for mine
supervisors to ensure that the mine is in
compliance with the MSHA regulations
relating to roof control. Roof control
plans are evaluated by MSHA personnel
to assure that mine operators have
complied with the regulatory provisions
outlined in 30 CFR 75.202 through
75.214. MSHA inspectors also refer to
the plans when they are conducting
safety and health inspections at the
mines. Approved roof control plans
from the different MSHA coal mine
safety and health districts are reviewed
by MSHA roof control specialists to
determine compliance with the
regulations and to evaluate the roof and
rib support methods used to provide a
safe working environment.

Departmental Clearance Officer.
