SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with NOTICES
I. Background
Section 101(a), 30 U.S.C. 811(a),
allows MSHA to promulgate standards
that would require operators to make
and retain records from which MSHA
would then be allowed to collect
information. Section 103(h), 30 U.S.C.
813(h), of the Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C.
801 et seq., authorizes MSHA to collect
information necessary to carry out its
duty in protecting the safety and health
of miners.
Title 30 CFR 57.3461 requires
operators of underground metal and
nonmetal mines to develop and
implement a rock burst control plan
within 90 days after a rock burst has
been experienced. Plans are required to
include: Mining and operating
procedures designed to reduce the
occurrence of rock bursts; monitoring
procedures where detection methods are
used; and other measures to minimize
exposure of persons to areas prone to
rock bursts. Plans are also required to be
updated as conditions warrant and are
to be made available to MSHA
inspectors and to miners or their
representatives. The standard does not
require that all underground metal and
nonmetal mines develop these
preventative measures, but it does
require that all mines with a rock burst
history develop and implement a rock
burst control plan.
When rock bursts occur in an
underground mine, they pose a serious
threat to the safety of miners in the area
affected by the burst. These bursts may
reasonably be expected to result in the
entrapment of miners, death, and
serious physical harm. Recent mining
technology has disclosed scientific
methods of monitoring rock stresses
which will allow for the prediction of
an oncoming burst. These predictions
can be used by the mine operator to
move miners to safer locations and to
establish areas which need relief
drilling.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to the Rock Burst
Control Plan. MSHA is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
VerDate Sep<11>2014
18:45 Apr 11, 2017
Jkt 241001
• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
• Suggest methods to 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.
The information collection request
will be available on https://
www.regulations.gov. MSHA cautions
the commenter against providing any
information in the submission that
should not be publicly disclosed. Full
comments, including personal
information provided, will be made
available on www.regulations.gov and
www.reginfo.gov.

information contains provisions for the
Rock Burst Control Plan. MSHA has
