SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes
MSHA to collect information necessary
to carry out its duty in protecting the
safety and health of miners. Further,
section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C.
811, authorizes the Secretary of Labor
(Secretary) to develop, promulgate, and
revise as may be appropriate, improved
mandatory health or safety standards for
the protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal
mines.
MSHA requires each operator of an
underground coal mine to submit a
Mine Emergency Evacuation and
Firefighting Program of Instruction to
the District Manager for approval. Upon
approval by the MSHA District
Manager, the operator uses the approved
program of instruction to implement
programs for training miners in
responding appropriately to mine
emergencies. MSHA uses the plans to
ensure that the operator’s program will
provide the required training and drills
to all miners. MSHA requires the
PO 00000
Frm 00066
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
operator to certify the training and drill
for each miner at the completion of each
quarterly drill, annual expectations
training, or other training, and that a
copy be provided to the miner upon
request. These certifications are used by
MSHA, operators, and miners as
evidence that the required training has
been completed. MSHA requires that
escapeway maps show the SCSR storage
locations. Accurate and up-to-date maps
are essential to the engineering plans
and safe operation of mines and to the
health and safety of the miners. MSHA
and other emergency evacuation
personnel will use the notations on the
maps should a rescue or recovery
operation be necessary. Miners use the
escapeway maps in training and during
mine evacuations. Escapeway maps are
required to be posted or readily
accessible for all miners in each
working section, areas where
mechanized mining equipment is being
installed or removed, at surface
locations where miners congregate and
in each refuge alternative. MSHA
requires that persons that test SelfContained, Self-Rescuers (SCSRs) certify
that the tests were done and record all
corrective actions. MSHA inspectors use
these records to determine compliance
with the standards. It includes
requirements for compiling,
maintaining, and reporting an inventory
of all SCSRs at the mine, and for
reporting defects, performance
problems, or malfunctions with SCSRs.
This will assure that MSHA can
investigate SCSR problems, if necessary,
notify other users of these problems
before accidents occur and require
manufacturers to address potential
problems with these critical devices.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Emergency Mine
Evacuation. MSHA is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
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
