collection requirements submitted to the
OMB receive a month-to-month
extension while they undergo review.
New requirements would only take
effect upon OMB approval. For
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notices
published in the Federal Register on
April 6, 2017 (82 FR 16858) and August
3, 2017 (82 FR 36159).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of

including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• 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.

ACTION: Request for public comments.
AGENCY:
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. 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 Proximity
Detection Systems for Continuous
Mining Machines in Underground Coal
Mines.
DATES: All comments must be received
on or before January 23, 2018.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the
information collection requirements of
this notice may be sent by any of the
methods listed below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
SUMMARY:
55879
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. Section 813(h),
authorizes MSHA to collect information
necessary to carry out its duties in
protecting the safety and health of
miners. Further, section 101(a) of the
Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811, authorizes the
Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to
develop, promulgate, and revise as may
be appropriate, improved mandatory
health or safety standards for the
protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal or other mines.
On January 15, 2015, MSHA
published a final rule that requires
underground coal mine operators to
equip continuous mining machines,
except full-face continuous mining
machines, with proximity detection
systems (80 FR 2188). Miners working
near continuous mining machines face
pinning, crushing, and striking hazards
that result in accidents involving lifethreatening injuries and death.
Proximity detection is a technology that
uses electronic sensors to detect the
motion or the location of one object
relative to another. Proximity detection
systems provide a warning and stop
mining machines before a pinning,
crushing, or striking accident occurs
that could result in injury or death to a
miner. The information collections
contained in this final rule were
approved under the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA).
Title 30 CFR 75.1732(d)(1) requires at
the completion of the check of the
machine-mounted components of the
proximity detection system under
section 75.1732(c)(1), a certified person
under section 75.100 must certify by
initials, date, and time that the check
was conducted. Defects found as a result
of the check, including corrective
actions and dates of corrective actions,
must be recorded.
Section 75.1732(d)(2) requires the
operator to make a record of the defects
found as a result of the checks of minerwearable components required under
section 75.1732(c)(2), including
corrective actions and dates of
corrective actions.
Section 75.1732(d)(3) requires the
operator to make a record of the persons
trained in the installation and
maintenance of proximity detection
systems under section 75.1732(b)(6).

Section 75.1732(d)(4) requires the
records to be maintained in a secure
book or electronically in a secure
computer system not susceptible to
alteration.
Section 75.1732(d)(5) requires records
to be retained for a period of at least one
year and that they be made available for
inspection by authorized representatives
of the Secretary and representatives of
miners.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Proximity Detection
Systems for Continuous Mining
Machines in Underground Coal Mines.
MSHA is particularly interested in
comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the

SPVP, LLC, Authority of Georgia, and
the City of Dalton, Georgia (the
licensee); for construction and operation
of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant
(VEGP) Units 3 and 4, located in Burke
County, Georgia.
The granting of the exemption allows
the changes to Tier 1 information asked
for in the amendment. Because the
acceptability of the exemption was
determined in part by the acceptability
of the amendment, the exemption and
