SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Training Plan Regulations and
Certificate of Training information
collection requirements codified at
regulations 30 CFR 48.3, 48.9, 48.23,
and 48.29. Federal Mine Safety and
Health Act (Mine Act) section 115(a)
states, ‘‘each operator of a coal or other
mine shall have a health and safety
training program which shall be
approved by the Secretary.’’ The MSHA
requires training plans to be submitted
for approval to the MSHA District
Manager for the area in which the mine
is located. Plans must contain the
company name, mine name, and MSHA
identification number of the mine; the
name and position of the person
designated by the operator who is
responsible for health and safety
training at the mine; a list of MSHAapproved instructors with whom the
operator proposes to make arrangements
to teach the courses and the courses
each instructor is qualified to teach; the
location where training will be given for
each course; a description of teaching
methods and course materials to be used
in training; the approximate number of
miners employed at the mine and the
maximum number who will attend each
training session; the predicted time or
periods of time when regularly
scheduled refresher training will be
given including the titles of courses to
be taught, the total number of
instruction hours for each course, and
the predicted time and length of each
training session; and for new task
training, a complete list of task
assignments, the titles of personnel
conducting the training, the outline of
training procedures used, and the
evaluation procedures used to
determine the effectiveness of the
training. Upon completion of each
training program, the mine operator
certifies on Form MSHA 5000–23,
Certificate of Training, that the miner
has received the specified training in
each subject area of the approved health
and safety training plan. The Certificate
of Training forms are to be maintained
by the operator for a period of two years
for current employees and for sixty (60)
days after termination of a miner’s

employment, and must be available for
inspection at the mine site. In addition,
the miner is entitled to a copy of the
certificate upon completion of the
training and when he/she leaves the
operator’s employment. Mine Act
sections 101 and 103 authorize this
information collection. See 30 U.S.C.
811, 813.
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 penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information that does not
display a valid Control Number. See 5
CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
The DOL obtains OMB approval for
this information collection under
Control Number 1219–0009, and the
agency 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
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
October 3, 2017 (82 FR 46091).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty (30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1219–0009. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
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,
