SUMMARY:

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Newly Hired Experienced Miner
Training information collection.
Training informs miners of safety and
health hazards inherent in the
workplace and enables miners to
identify and avoid such hazards.
Training becomes even more important
in light of certain conditions that can
exist when production demands
increase—such as an influx of new and
less experienced miners and mine
operators, longer work hours to meet
production demands, and increased
demand for contractors who may be less
familiar with the dangers on mine
property. This ICR covers reporting and
recordkeeping as follows: Regulations
30 CFR 46.3(a) requires a mine operator
to develop and implement a written
training plan that contains effective
training programs; § 46.3(c) specifies
when an operator must submit a plan to
the MSHA for approval; § 46.3(e) allows
for a miner or miner representative to
submit written comments on a training
plan; § 46.3(g) requires the mine
operator to provide the miners’
representative, if any, with a copy of the
approved training plan within one (1)
week of approval (at a mine where no
miners’ representative has been
designated, the operator must post a
copy of the plan at the mine site or
provide a copy to each miner); § 46.3(h)
allows a mine operator, contractor,
miner, or miners’ representative to
appeal—in writing—the Regional
Manager’s decision to the MSHA
Director for Educational Policy and
Development; § 46.3(i) requires mine
operators and contractors to make
available at the mine site a copy of the
current training plan for inspection by
the MSHA and for examination by
miners and their representatives (if the
training plan is not maintained at the
mine site, the operator must have the
capability to provide the plan within
one (1) business day upon request to the
MSHA, miners, or their representatives);
§ 46.5(a) requires a mine operator to
provide each new miner with no less
than 24 hours of training; § 46.6(a)
requires an operator to provide each
newly hired experienced miner with
certain specified training before the
miner begins work; § 46.7(a) requires
that before a miner performs a new task
for which the miner has no experience,
the operator must train the miner in the
safety and health aspects and safe work
procedures specific to that task;
§ 46.7(b) requires that if changes have
occurred in a miner’s regularly assigned
task that affects the health and safety
risks encountered by the miner, the
operator must provide the miner with
training that addresses the changes;

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 97 / Monday, May 20, 2019 / Notices
§ 46.8(a) requires an operator provide
each miner with no less than eight (8)
hours of refresher training, at least every
twelve (12) months; § 46.9 requires an
operator, upon completion of each
training program, to record and certify
on MSHA Form 5000–23 (separately
cleared under control number 1219–
0009) the miner has completed the
training; and § 46.11(a) requires an
operator to provide site-specific hazard
training to specific persons before they
are exposed to mine hazards. Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977
sections 101(a) and 103(h) authorize this
information collection. See 30 U.S.C.
811(a); 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
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 1219–0131.
OMB authorization for an ICR cannot
be for more than three (3) years without
renewal, and 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
February 6, 2019 (84 FR 2255).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
