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-

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 miner-wearable components required under 
section Sec.  75.1732(c)(2), including corrective actions and dates of 
corrective actions (Sec.  75.1732(d)(2); the operator creating a record 
of persons trained in the installation and maintenance of proximity 
detection systems under Sec.  75.1732(b)(6) (Sec.  75.1732(d)(3)); the 
operator maintaining records in a secure book or electronically in a 
secure computer system not susceptible to alteration (Sec.
