Fax: 202–395–6974 (these are not tollfree numbers), E-mail:
OIRA_submission@omb.eop.gov within
30 days from the date of this publication
in the Federal Register. In order to
ensure the appropriate consideration,
comments should reference the
applicable OMB Control Number (see
below).
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments which:
• 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 submission of
responses.
Agency: Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
Type of Review: Extension without
change of currently approved collection.
Title of Collection: Roof Control Plans.

Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 12,813.
Estimated Total Annual Cost Burden
(does not include hourly wage costs):
$7,020.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profits (mines).
Description: In order to prevent
occupational injuries resulting from
falls of roofs, faces, and ribs, which are
a leading cause of injuries and death in
underground coal mines, all
underground coal mine operators are
required to develop and submit roof
control plans to MSHA for evaluation
and approval. These plans are evaluated
to determine if they are adequate for

Hours: 36.
Estimated Total Annual Cost Burden
(does not include hourly wage costs): $0.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profits (mines).
Description: Methane is a flammable
gas found in underground mining that
presence can reduce the oxygen content
when mixed with air, and consequently
can act as an asphyxiant when present
in large quantities. To help prevent
accidents or injuries, MSHA requires
operators of underground metal and
nonmetal mines to notify MSHA of any
change in methane conditions, e.g., an
outburst, a blowout, methane ignition,
or methane occurrence of 0.25% or
more. For additional information, see
related notice published at Vol. 74 FR
9831 on March 6, 2009.
Agency: Mine Safety and Health
Administration.
Type of Review: Extension without

Title of Collection: Safety Standards
for Roof Bolts in Metal and Nonmetal
Mines and Underground Coal Mines.
OMB Control Number: 1219–0121.

Estimated Number of Respondents:
833.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 165.
Estimated Total Annual Cost Burden
(does not include hourly wage costs): $0.
Affected Public: Business or other for
profits (mines).
Description: Falls of roofs, faces, ribs,
and highwalls in surface mines,
historically, have been among the
leading cause of injuries and deaths in
mines. Therefore, in order to protect the
safety of miners, mine operators are
required to obtain certification from the
manufacturers that roof and rock bolts
and accessories are manufactured and
tested in accordance with the applicable
American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) specifications and
make that certification available to an
authorized representative of the
Secretary. For additional information,

to safety requirements and safety
standards for the maintenance and use

metal and nonmetal mines to protect
miners. The Diesel Particulate Matter
(DPM) rule establishes a permissible
exposure limit to total carbon, which is
a surrogate for measuring a miner’s
exposure to DPM. The information
collected is provided to the MSHA
inspector and used by the agency to
monitor the mine operator’s compliance
with the health standard. For additional
information, see related notice

OMB approval date. An additional
opportunity to comment on this ICR
will also be provided when DOL seeks
approval under standard PRA clearance
procedures pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12,
‘‘Clearance of collections of information
in current rules.’’
The OMB is particularly interested in
comments which:
• 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

Title of Collection: Mine Rescue
Teams for Underground Coal Mine
Operators.
OMB Control Number: 1219–0144.

mines.
Total Estimated Number of
Respondents: 653.
Total Estimated Annual Burden
Hours: 1,550.
Total Net Estimated Annual Costs
Burden (other than hourly wage costs):
$653.
Description: The respondents for this
collection of information are
underground coal mine operators. The
records will be used by coal mine
operators, supervisors, and employees,
and State and Federal mine inspectors
to provide assurance that each mine
PO 00000

operator and mine rescue team is
prepared for a mine emergency. The
records show that the mine rescue team
equipment has been examined and
tested and is in good working order. The
training records show that the mine
rescue team members and the
responsible persons at the mine are
competent to respond to a mine
emergency involving a fire, an
explosion, or a gas or water inundation.
The records greatly assist those who use
them in making decisions that will
ultimately affect the safety of all persons
working underground.
These information collection
requirements help assure that properly
trained mine rescue teams are readily
available to save endangered miners in
life-threatening situations. In addition,
the training requirements in this
information collection will help assure
the safety of the mine rescue team itself.
Why are we requesting Emergency
Processing? The Mine Improvement and
New Emergency Response Act of 2006
became effective on June 15, 2006
(MINER Act). The goal of the MINER
Act is ‘‘to improve the safety of mines
and mining.’’ To accomplish this goal,
the MINER Act includes provisions to
improve mine emergency response time,
improve mine rescue team effectiveness,
and increase the quantity and quality of
mine rescue team training.
Section 4 of the MINER Act required
MSHA to publish regulations on mine
rescue teams. Because the mine rescue
team provisions contained in Section 4
of the MINER Act apply only to
underground coal mines, this rule will
affect those mines and the mine rescue
teams that cover them.
MSHA published a final rule revising
the Agency’s requirements for mine
rescue teams for underground coal
mines on February 8, 2008. The United
Mine Workers of America challenged
the final rule in the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit. On February 10, 2009, the Court
vacated the rule’s provisions allowing
mine-site and state-sponsored teams to
train at small mines annually and State
employees who are members of Statesponsored teams to substitute certain
job duties for participation in one of two
mine rescue contests required annually.
The Court also vacated MSHA’s
conclusion in the preamble that State
employees who are members of Statesponsored teams may participate in a
mine rescue contest by serving as
judges. See Int’l Union, United Mine
Workers of Am. v. Dep’t of Labor, 554
F.3d 150 (D.C. Cir. 2009).
Consistent with the Court’s decision,
MSHA is revising the existing rule to
require mine-site and State-sponsored
