Where Mechanized Mining Equipment is Being Installed or Removed 
information collection requirements codified in regulations 30 CFR part 
75. More specifically, regulations 30 CFR 75.351 makes it mandatory for 
a mine operator electing to use belt air to ventilate a working section 
or area where mechanized equipment is being installed or removed to 
maintain records used by coal mine supervisors, miners, and Federal and 
State mine inspectors to show required examinations and tests were

1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection 
under Control Number 1219-0138.
    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 December 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years,
