SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a
carcinogen that consists of tiny particles
present in diesel engine exhaust that
can readily penetrate into the deepest
recesses of the lungs. Despite
ventilation, the confined underground
mine work environment may contribute
to significant concentrations of particles
produced by equipment used in the
mine. Underground miners are exposed
to higher concentrations of DPM than
any other occupational group. As a
result, they face a significantly greater
risk than other workers of developing
such diseases as lung cancer, heart
failure, serious allergic responses, and
other cardiopulmonary problems.
The DPM regulation established a
permissible exposure limit to total
carbon, which is a surrogate for
measuring a miner’s exposure to DPM.
These regulations include a number of
other requirements for the protection of
miners’ health. The DPM regulations
contain information collection
requirements for underground metal
nonmetal mine operators under sections
57.5060, 57.5065, 57.5066, 57.5070,
57.5071, and 57.5075(a) and (b)(3).

MSHA is particularly interested in

performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the

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://
