SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Proximity Detection Systems for
Continuous Mining Machines in
Underground Coal Mines information
collection requirements codified in
regulations 30 CFR 1732(d). This
information collection relates to
requirements for mine operators to
install proximity detection systems on
continuous mining machines. More
specifically, the subject regulatory
provisions require: the proper
certification (initialing and dating—
including time) by a qualified
individual that the machine-mounted
components of the proximity detection
system have been checked
(§ 75.1732(d)(1)); recording, before the
end of the shift, any defects found as a
result of the check—including
corrective actions and their dates (Id.);
the operator recording any 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 (§ 75.1732(d)(2); the
operator creating a record of persons
trained in the installation and
maintenance of proximity detection
systems under § 75.1732(b)(6)
(§ 75.1732(d)(3)); the operator
maintaining records in a secure book or
electronically in a secure computer
system not susceptible to alteration
(§ 75.1732(d)(4)); the operator retaining
records for at least one year and making
them available for inspection by
authorized representatives of the
Secretary and representatives of miners
(§ 75.1732(d)(5). Federal Mine Safety
and Health Act of 1977 sections 101 and
103(h) authorize this information
collection. See 30 U.S.C. 811, 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
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 244001
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 1219–0148.
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
April 30, 2018. 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
additional substantive information
about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on
November 24, 2017 (82 FR 55879).
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
1219–0148. 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,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
