ACTION:
Notice.
SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden
conducts a pre-clearance 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 Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the extension of
the information collection related to the
compliance with standards (30 CFR
57.8520 and 57.8525). The ventilation
system is the most vital life support
system in underground mining and a
properly operating ventilation system is
essential for maintaining a safe and
healthful working environment. A well
planned mine ventilation system is
necessary to assure a fresh air supply to
miners at all working places, to control
the amounts of harmful airborne

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 87 / Monday, May 7, 2007 / Notices
contaminants in the mine atmosphere,
and to dilute possible accumulation of
explosive gases. Lack of adequate
ventilation in underground mines has
resulted in fatalities from asphyxiation
and explosions due to a buildup of
explosive gases.
DATES: Submit comments on or before
July 6, 2007.
ADDRESSES: Send comments to U.S.
Department of Labor, Mine Safety and
Health Administration, Debbie Ferraro,
Management Services Division, 1100
Wilson Boulevard, Room 2171,
Arlington, VA 22209–3939. Commenters
are encouraged to send their comments
on a computer disk, or via e-mail to
Ferraro.Debbie@dol.gov, along with an
original printed copy. Ms. Ferraro can
be reached at (202) 693–9821 (voice), or
(202) 693–9801 (facsimile).

ADDRESSES section of this notice.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Underground mines present harsh
and hostile working environments. The
ventilation system is the most vital life
support system in underground mining
and a properly operating ventilation
system is essential for maintaining a
safe and healthful working
environment. Inadequate ventilation can
be a primary factor for deaths caused by
disease of the lungs (e.g. silicosis). In
addition, poor working conditions from
lack of adequate ventilation contribute
to accidents resulting from heat stress,
limited visibility, or impaired judgment
from contaminants.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 103(g) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Pub. L.
91–173, as amended by Pub. L. 95–164)
(Mine Act), states that a representative
of miners, or any individual miner
where this is no miners representative,
may submit a written or oral notification
of alleged violation of the Mine Act or
a mandatory standard or of an imminent
danger. Such notification requires the
Mine Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) to make an immediate
inspection. A copy of the notice must be
provided to the operator.
Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations
(30 CFR), Part 43, implements Section
103(g) of the Mine Act. It provides the
procedures for submitting notification of
the alleged violation and the actions
which MSHA must take after receiving
the notice. Although the regulation
contains a review procedure (required
by Section 103(g)(2) of the Mine Act)
whereby a miner or a representative of
miners may in writing request a review
if no citation or order is written as a
result of the original notice, the option
is so rarely used that it was not
considered in the burden estimates.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
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
