SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 1999,
the MSHA published its final rule for 30
CFR part 46, Training, Training Plans,
and Records for miners working at shell
dredging, sand, gravel, surface stone,
surface clay, colloidal phosphate, and
surface limestone mines, the operations
addressed by part 46 regulations.
Between 1995 and 1999, miners in these
operations worked 1.07 billion hours
and experienced 130 fatal injuries.
Between 2007 and 2011, miners at part
46 mines worked 848 million hours and
experienced 40 deaths, about 21 percent
fewer hours and about 69 percent fewer
fatalities. From 1999 through 2011,
MSHA promulgated no other significant
safety regulations affecting this industry
sector.
Training informs miners of safety and
health hazards inherent in the
workplace and enables them to identify
and avoid such hazards. Training
becomes even more important in light of
certain conditions that can exist when
production demands increase, such as
an influx of new and less experienced
miners and mine operators; longer work
hours to meet production demands; and
increased demand for contractors who
may be less familiar with the dangers on
mine property.
The MSHA objective in these existing
health and safety training requirements
is to ensure that all miners receive the
required training, which would result in
a decrease in accidents, injuries, and
fatalities. The MSHA enforces training
requirements at approximately 12,559
surface nonmetal mines and contractors,
10,577 of which are covered by part 46
and 1,882 of which are covered by part
48. The information collection burden
under part 48 is covered under OMB
1219–0009.
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
PO 00000
Frm 00056
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990
information collection under OMB
Control Number 1219–0131. The current
OMB approval is scheduled to expire on
June 30, 2012; however, it should be
noted that existing information
collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
For additional information, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on March 22, 2012 (77 FR
16862).
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 help ensure appropriate
consideration, comments should
mention OMB Control Number 1219–
0131. 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
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.
