This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Notification of Methane Detected in
Underground Metal and Nonmetal Mine
Atmospheres information collection
requirements codified in regulations 30
CFR part 57. Regulations 30 CFR
57.22004(c) requires a Metal/Non-Metal
mine operator to notify the MSHA as
soon as possible when any of the
following events occur: There is an
outburst that results in 0.25 percent or
more methane in the mine atmosphere,

there is a blowout that results in 0.25
percent or more methane in the mine
atmosphere, there is an ignition of
methane, or air sample results indicate
0.25 percent or more methane in the
mine atmosphere of a I–B, I–C, II–B, V–
B, or Category VI mine. Under
§§ 57.22239 and 57.22231, if methane
reaches 2.0 percent in a Category IV
mine or if methane reaches 0.25 percent
in the mine atmosphere of a
Subcategory I–B, II–B, V–B, or VI mine,
the MSHA is to be immediately notified.
Regulations 30 CFR 57.22229 and
57.22230 require that the mine
atmosphere be tested for either or both
methane and carbon dioxide at least
once every seven days by a competent
person or atmospheric monitoring
system or a combination of both.
Section 57.2229 applies to an
underground Metal/Non-Metal mine
categorized as I–A, III, and V–A mines
where the atmosphere is tested for both
methane and carbon dioxide. Section
57.22230 applies to an underground
Metal/Non-Metal mine categorized as
II–A mines where the atmosphere is
tested for methane. Where an
examination discloses hazardous
conditions, affected miners must be
informed. Sections 57.22229(d) and
57.22230(c) require that the person
performing a test certify by signature
and date that the test has been
conducted. Certifications of
examinations are to be kept for at least
one year and made available to
authorized representatives of the
Secretary of Labor. Federal Mine Safety
and Health Act of 1977 sections 101(a)
and 103(h) and (i) authorize this
information collection. See 30 U.S.C.
811(a); 813(h) and (i).
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 1219–0103.
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
September 30, 2015. The DOL seeks to
extend PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3) more

appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1219–0103. 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

• 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.

This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Reports of Injuries to Employees
Operating Mechanical Power Presses
information collection. In the event a
worker is injured while operating a
mechanical power press, regulations 29
CFR 1910.217(g) makes it mandatory for
an Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSH Act) covered employer to report,
within thirty (30) days of the
occurrence, all point-of-operation
injuries to operators or other employees
either to the Director of the Directorate
of Standards or to the State agency
administering a plan approved by the
Assistant Secretary of Labor for
Occupational Safety and Health.
Particularly, this information identifies
the equipment used and conditions
associated with these injuries. These
reports are a source of up-to-date
information on power press machines.
OSH Act sections 2(b)(9), 6, and 8(c)
authorize this information collection.
