The Department of Labor seeks the
approval for the extension of this
currently-approved information
collection in order to carry out its
responsibility to ensure that a carrier’s
LHWCA obligations are sufficiently
secured and, if necessary, to deposit
security in an amount set by OWCP.
This procedure will ensure the prompt
and continued payments of
compensation and medical benefits to
injured workers and help protect the
Longshore special funds assets from
consequences flowing from insurance
carriers’ insolvencies.

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 30
CFR Sections 49.12, 49.13, 14.16, 49.17,
49.18, 49.19, 49.50, 75.1713–1(a),(b) and
(e), and 77.1702(a), (b), and (e).
DATES: All comments must be received
by midnight Eastern Daylight Savings
Time on June 14, 2010.
ADDRESSES: Comments must clearly be
identified with the rule title and may be
submitted to MSHA by any of the
following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
MSHA published a final rule revising
the Agency’s requirements for mine
PO 00000
Frm 00106
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
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 (Court). On February
10, 2009, the Court vacated several of
the rule’s provisions. Consistent with
the Court’s decision, MSHA revised its
requirements for mine rescue teams for
underground coal mines on June 17,
2009. The 2008 mine rescue team
standard and 2009 revision added
burden to existing information
collection requirements and imposed
two new information collection
requirements.
MSHA last submitted paperwork
package 1219–0144 to OMB in May
2009, under the emergency review
procedures in 5 CFR 1320.13.
Section 4 of the Mine Improvement
and New Emergency Response (MINER)
Act of 2006 required MSHA to
promulgate standards for mine rescue
teams for underground coal mines. The
May 2009 paperwork package 1219–
0144 addressed only the increased
burden associated with the revised and
new standards and did not include the
information collection burden for the
existing mine rescue team standard not
addressed by the MINER Act, which had
been approved under paperwork
package 1219–0078 for both coal and
metal and nonmetal mines. This
paperwork package 1219–0144
combines the additional burden from
the revised and new standards for
underground coal mine rescue teams
with the existing information collection
burden, which has been removed from
paperwork package 1219–0078. (The
metal and nonmetal mine rescue team
paperwork package, OMB control
number 1219–0078, has been extended
to February 28, 2013, ICR reference
number 200912–1219–003.)
This package covers the following
requirements for coal mines:
• Each operator of a coal mine who
provides rescue teams is required to
send the District Manager a statement
describing the mine’s method of
compliance with the standard.
• Small or remote mines may submit
an application of an arrangement for
alternative mine rescue capability to
MSHA for approval.
• A person trained in the use and care
of the breathing apparatus is required to
certify by signature and date that the
required inspections and tests were
done, take corrective action if indicated,
and record any corrective action taken.
• Each member of a mine rescue team
must be examined annually by a
physician who must certify that each
E:\FR\FM\13APN1.SGM
13APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 13, 2010 / Notices
person is physically fit to perform mine
rescue and recovery work.
• A record of the training received by
each mine rescue team member in the
use, care, and maintenance of the type
of breathing apparatus that will be used
by the mine rescue team must be made
and kept on file at the mine rescue
station for a period of one year. The
operator must provide the District
Manager information concerning the
schedule of upcoming training when
requested.
• Each mine must have a mine rescue
notification plan outlining the
procedures to be followed in notifying
the mine rescue teams when there is an
emergency that requires their services.
• Underground coal mine operators
must certify that each designated coal
mine rescue team meets the
requirements of 30 CFR part 49 subpart
B.
• Coal mine operators must make
arrangements for 24-hour emergency
medical assistance and transportation
for injured persons and to post this
information at appropriate places at the
mine, including the names, titles,
addresses, and telephone numbers of all
persons or services currently available
under those arrangements.
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
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 submissions
of responses.

collection request can be obtained by
