Regulation 30 CFR 57.5040 requires mine operators to calculate and record individual exposures to radon daughters on MSHA Form 4000–9 ‘‘Record of Individual Exposure to Radon Daughters’’. The calculations are based on the results of the weekly sampling required by 30 CFR 57.5037. Records must be maintained by the operator and submitted to the MSHA annually. The sampling and recordkeeping requirement alerts the mine operator and the MSHA to possible failure in the radon daughter control system, and permits appropriate SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11281 corrective action to be taken in a timely manner. Data submitted to the MSHA is intended to establish a means by which the MSHA can assure compliance with underground radiation standards and to assure that miners can, on written request, have records of cumulative exposures made available to them or their estate, and to medical and legal representatives who have obtained written authorization. This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the collection of information does not display a valid OMB control number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under OMB Control Number 1219–0003. The current OMB approval is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2011; however, it should be noted that information collections submitted to the OMB receive a monthto-month extension while they undergo review. For additional information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on December 21, 2010. Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, at the address shown in the ADDRESSES section within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. In order to ensure appropriate consideration, comments should reference OMB Control Number 1219– 0003. The OMB 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 E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM 01MRN1 11282 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 40 / Tuesday, March 1, 2011 / Notices other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Contact Michel Smyth by telephone at 202–693–4129 (this is not a toll-free number) or by e-mail at DOL_PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov. The MSHA issues certifications, qualifications, and approvals (licenses) to the nation’s miners to conduct specific work within mines. Prior to the approval of this collection Social Security Numbers (SSNs) were used for tracking purposes within MSHA data processing systems, in the absence of other reliable identification systems. In the effort to reduce use of SSNs both by the MSHA and third parties, the MSHA has changed the process to one in which miners requiring a license or benefit from the MSHA will register for a MIIN. This unique number is used in place of individual SSNs for all licensing requirements within the MSHA. This process has allowed the MSHA to discontinue the past practice of individuals supplying their personally identifiable information to instructors, states or other entities, which in turn supplied that information to the MSHA. Miners needing a license or benefit from the MSHA will need to register only one time to obtain their MIINs. This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the collection of information does not display a currently valid OMB control number.

Daughters''. The calculations are based on the results of the weekly 
sampling required by 30 CFR 57.5037. Records must be maintained by the 
operator and submitted to the MSHA annually. The sampling and 
recordkeeping requirement alerts the mine operator and the MSHA to 
possible failure in the radon daughter control system, and permits 
appropriate corrective action to be taken in a timely manner. Data
