SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The requirements related to OMB
1219–0145 are intended to help protect
miners by assuring that MSHA
inspectors can verify that automatic fire
sensor and warning device systems are
maintained and calibrated and will
function properly when needed.
Technical advances have made it
practicable to automatically detect fires
in mines and to warn miners, helping
prevent deaths when a fire occurs.
MSHA requires mine operators to
ensure these protective sensors and
devices operate as designed and
contribute to improved miner safety.

II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed
extension of information collection
related to automatic sensing systems
and warning devices. MSHA is
particularly interested in comments
that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of MSHA’s
functions, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden of the proposed
collection of information, including the
validity of the methodology and
assumptions used;
• Suggest methods to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Address 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) to minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond.
A copy of the proposed information
collection request can be obtained by
contacting the employee listed in the
ADDRESSES section of this notice or
viewed on the internet by accessing the
MSHA home page (https://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The requirements related to OMB 1219-0145 are intended to help
protect miners by assuring that MSHA inspectors can verify that
automatic fire sensor and warning device systems are maintained and
calibrated and will function properly when needed. Technical advances
have made it practicable to automatically detect fires in mines and to
warn miners, helping prevent deaths when a fire occurs. MSHA requires
mine operators to ensure these protective sensors and devices operate
as designed and contribute to improved miner safety.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments concerning the proposed extension of information collection
related to automatic sensing systems and warning devices. MSHA is
particularly interested in comments that:
Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of MSHA's functions, including
whether the information has practical utility;
Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA's estimate of the burden of
the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
Suggest methods to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be collected; and
Address 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) to minimize the burden of the collection of information on
those who are to respond.
A copy of the proposed information collection request can be
obtained by contacting the employee listed in the ADDRESSES section of
this notice or viewed on the internet by accessing the MSHA home page
(https://www.msha.gov/) and selecting ``Rules and Regs'', and then
selecting ``Fed Reg Docs.''
III. Current Actions
The information obtained from mine operators is used by MSHA during
inspections to determine proper responsibility for compliance with
safety and health standards.
