This ICR
is to maintain PRA approval for the
information collections contained in
regulations 30 CFR parts 48 and 75 to
improve emergency evacuation and
rescue in underground coal mines.
These regulations include requirements
for immediate accident notification
applicable to all mines. In addition, the
regulations contain reporting and record
keeping requirements for training,
including evacuation drills; selfcontained self-rescuer storage, training,
and use; and installation and
maintenance of lifelines in underground
coal mines. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on March 6, 2013 (78 FR
14592).
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 that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL
obtains OMB approval for this
information collection under Control
Number 1219–0141.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and the current approval for
this collection is scheduled to expire on
July 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to extend
PRA authorization for this information
collection for three (3) more years,

without any change to existing

requirements submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
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–
0141. 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
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under Section 313 of the Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977
(Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 873, any
explosives used in underground coal
mines must be permissible with certain
exceptions. The Mine Act also provides
that, under safeguards prescribed by the
Secretary of Labor, a mine operator may
permit the firing of more than 20 shots
and the use of nonpermissible
explosives in sinking shafts and slopes
from the surface in rock. Title 30 CFR
75.1321 outlines the procedures by
which a permit may be issued for the
firing of more than 20 boreholes and/or
the use of nonpermissible blasting units
in underground coal mines. In those
instances in which there is a misfire of
explosives, § 75.1327 requires that a
qualified person post each accessible
entrance to the affected area with a
warning to prohibit entry. Section
77.1909–1 outlines the procedures by
which a coal mine operator may apply
for a permit to use nonpermissible
explosives and/or shot-firing units in
the blasting of rock while sinking shafts
or slopes for underground coal mines.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting

extension of the information collection
related to Application for a Permit to
