SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Emergency Mine Evacuation information collection requirements 
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; self-
contained self-rescuer storage, training, and use; and installation and 
maintenance of lifelines in underground coal mines. Federal Mine Safety 
and Health Act of 1977 sections 101(a) and 103(h) authorize this 
information collection. See 30 U.S.C. 811(a) and 813(h).
    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

    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 August 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For
