e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
Agency: Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of currently approved collection.
Title of Collection: Record of Mine
Closures, Opening and Reopening of
Mines.
OMB Control Number: 1219–0073.
Form Number: None.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,453.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 14,572.
Estimated Total Annual Cost Burden:
$18,221,257.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profits (underground and surface coal
mines).
Description: The Department’s
regulations at 30 CFR 75.372, 75.373,
75.1200, 75.1200–1, 75.1201, 75.1202,
75.1202–1, 75.1203, 75.1204, 75.1204–1,
75.1721, 77.1200, 77.1201, 77.1202
contain requirements regarding the
preparation and maintenance of
accurate and up-to-date mine maps as
well as requirements with respect to
reporting to MSHA the opening or
closing of mines. The information is
used by operators of coal mines for
effective and safe mine planning and
when approaching abandoned
underground mines or the mined-out
and inaccessible areas of an active
underground or surface mine. The
abandoned mine or inaccessible areas of
an active mine could be flooded with
water or contain explosive amounts of
methane or harmful gases. If the
operator were to mine into such an area,
unaware of the hazards, miners could be
killed or seriously injured. The
requirements to provide MSHA with
certified underground mine maps
annually, access for inspection of
surface mine maps and the filing of
mine closure maps provide essential
information for MSHA to plan and
conduct mandatory inspections and
review and approve mandatory mine
plans and permits. The required
notifications prior to opening new
mines and reopening abandoned mines
provide information for the same
purpose. Accurate and up-to-date mine
maps are essential to the engineering
plans and safe operation of mines and
to the health and safety of the miners,
including in mine rescue and/or
firefighting situations. In addition, the
mine closure maps also provide
information essential to protecting
public safety in the future land uses of
the abandoned mine sites. For
additional information, see related
notice published at Vol. 73 FR 64985 on
October 31, 2008.

miners’ representatives about the
performance of diesel engines and any
deterioration or defective condition
needing corrective action. For
additional information, see related
notice published at Vol. 73 FR 64986 on
