• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the

methodology and assumptions used;
• Enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be

Description: Under Section 313 of the
Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of
1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 873, any
explosives used in underground coal
mines must be permissible. The Mine
Act also provides that under safeguards
prescribed by the Secretary of Labor, a
mine operator may permit the firing of
more than 20 shots and the use of nonpermissible explosives in sinking shafts
and slopes from the surface in rock.
Title 30 CFR 75.1321 outlines the
procedures by which a permit may be
issued for the firing of more than 20
boreholes and/or the use of nonpermissible shot-firing units in
underground coal mines. In those
instances in which there is a misfire of
explosives, 30 CFR 75.1327 requires that
a qualified person post each accessible
entrance to the affected area with a
warning to prohibit entry. Title 30 CFR
77.1909–1 outlines the procedures by
which a coal mine operator may apply
for a permit to use non-permissible
explosives and/or shot-firing units in
the blasting of rock while sinking shafts
or slopes for underground coal mines.
To obtain a permit, the mine operator
files an application with the MSHA
district manager in the district in which
the mine is located. Applications may
be mailed or faxed, using company
letterhead stationery and should contain
the name and address of the mine, the
designated active workings in which the
units will be used and the approximate
number of shots to be fired, the period
of time during which such units are to
be used, the nature of the development
or construction for which they will be
used, a plan to protect miners, a
statement of the specific hazards
anticipated, and the method to be
employed to avoid the dangers
anticipated.
The district manager may permit the
firing of more than 20 boreholes of
permissible explosives in a round where
he has determined that it is necessary to
E:\FR\FM\25APN1.SGM
25APN1
20564
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 79 / Wednesday, April 25, 2007 / Notices
reduce the overall hazard to which
miners are exposed during underground
blasting. The district manager issues a
permit to use non-permissible items
when he finds that a permissible shotfiring unit does not have adequate
blasting capacity and the use of such
permissible units will create
development or construction hazards.
As a condition of use, the district
manager may include safeguards, in
addition to those proposed by the
operator, that he determines are
necessary to protect the safety of the
miners at the time the blasting is
permitted collection.
MSHA uses the information requested
to issue a permit to the mine operator
for the use of non-permissible
explosives and/or shot-firing units. The
permit informs mine management and
the miners of the steps to be employed
to protect the safety of any person
exposed to such blasting while using
non-permissible items.

Acting Departmental Clearance Officer.

ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and/or continuing collections of
information in accordance with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This
program helps to ensure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the
Employment Standards Administration
is soliciting comments concerning the
proposed collection: Employer’s First
Report of Injury or Occupational Disease
(LS–202) and Employer’s
Supplementary Report of Accident or
Occupational Illness (LS–210). A copy
of the proposed information collection
request can be obtained by contacting
the office listed below in the addresses
section of this Notice.
DATES: Written comments must be
submitted to the office listed in the
ADDRESSES section below on or before
June 25, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Office of Workers’ Compensation
Programs administers the Longshore
and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act.
The Act provides benefits to workers
injured in maritime employment on the
navigable waters of the United States
and adjoining area customarily used by
an employee in loading, unloading,
repairing, or building a vessel. The LS–
202 is used by employers initially to
report injuries that have occurred which
are covered under the Longshore Act
and its related statutes. The LS–210 is
used to report additional periods of lost
time from work. The LS–205 has been
removed from this collection since the
physicians that need to complete this
form have commented that they prefer
to submit their own narrative reports,
which allows them to better explain a
claimant’s condition. This information
collection is currently approved for use
through October 31, 2007.
