SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Mine Safety and Health
Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as
part of its continuing effort to reduce
paperwork and respondent burden,
conducts a pre-clearance consultation
program to provide the general public
and Federal agencies with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
collections of information in accordance
with the Paperwork Reduction Act of
1995, 44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A). This
program helps to assure that requested
data can be provided in the desired
format, reporting burden (time and
financial resources) is minimized,
collection instruments are clearly
understood, and the impact of collection
requirements on respondents can be
properly assessed. Currently, the Mine
Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) is soliciting comments on the
information collection for Hazardous
Conditions Complaints.
DATES: All comments must be received
on or before August 29, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the
information collection requirements of
Under Section 103(g) of the Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as
amended (Mine Act), a representative of
miners, or any individual miner where
there is no representative of miners,
may submit a written or oral notification
of an alleged violation of the Mine Act
or a mandatory standard or that an
imminent danger exists. The notifier has
the right to obtain an immediate
inspection by MSHA. A copy of the
notice must be provided to the operator,
with individual miner names redacted.
MSHA regulations at 30 CFR part 43
implement Section 103(g) of the Mine
Act. These regulations provide the
procedures for submitting notification of
the alleged violation and the actions
that MSHA must take after receiving the
notice. Although the regulations contain
a review procedure (required by section
103(g)(2) of the Mine Act) whereby a
miner or a representative of miners may
in writing request a review if no citation
or order is issued as a result of the
original notice, the option is so rarely
used that it was not considered in the
burden estimates.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
ADDRESSES:
I. Background
Section 317(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 877(c), and 30 CFR
75.1702 prohibits persons from smoking
or carrying smoking materials
underground or in places where there is
a fire or explosion hazard. Under the
Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 877(c) and 75.1702,
coal mine operators are required to
develop programs to prevent persons
from carrying smoking materials,
matches, or lighters underground and to
prevent smoking in hazardous areas,
such as in or around oil houses,
explosives magazines or other areas
where such practice may cause a fire or
explosion.
Section 75.1702–1 requires a mine
operator to submit a smoking prevention
plan to MSHA for approval under
§ 75.1702 to MSHA for approval.
Section 103(h) of the Mine Act, 30
U.S.C. 813, authorizes MSHA to collect
information necessary to carry out its
duty in protecting the safety and health
of miners. These information collection
requirements help to ensure that a fire
or explosion hazard does not occur.
