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

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
August 31, 2019. 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 20, 2019 (84 FR 5107).
Interested parties are encouraged to

Sfmt 4703
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 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.
Under section 305(g) of the Mine Act,
all electric equipment shall be
frequently examined, tested, and
properly maintained by a qualified
person to assure safe operating
conditions.
Title 30 CFR 75.153 and 77.103 define
a person as qualified to perform
electrical work if he has been qualified
as a coal mine electrician by a State that
has a coal mine electrical qualification
program approved by MSHA; or if he
has at least one year of experience
performing electrical work underground
in a coal mine, in a surface coal mine,
in a noncoal mine, in the mine
equipment manufacturing industry, or
in any other industry using or
manufacturing similar equipment, and
has satisfactorily completed a coal mine
electrical training program approved by
MSHA or has attained a satisfactory
grade on a series of five written tests
approved by MSHA.
MSHA Form 5000–1 provides the coal
mining industry with a standardized
reporting format that expedites the
certification process while ensuring
compliance with the regulations. The
information provided on the form
enables MSHA to determine if the
applicants satisfy the requirements to
obtain the certification or qualification.

I. Background
BILLING CODE 4510–43–P
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine

Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes
MSHA to collect information necessary

(Secretary) to develop, promulgate, and

mandatory health or safety standards for
the protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal
mines.
Title 30 CFR Sections 75.1716,
75.1716–1 and 75.1716–3 require
operators of underground coal mines to
provide MSHA notification before
mining under bodies of water and to
obtain a permit to mine under a body of
water if, in the judgment of the
Secretary, it is sufficiently large to
constitute a hazard to miners. The
regulation is necessary to prevent the
inundation of underground coal mines
with water that has the potential of
drowning miners.
The coal mine operator submits an
application for the permit to the District
Manager in whose district the mine is
located. Applications contain the name
and address of the mine; projected
mining and ground support plans; a
mine map showing the location of the
river, stream, lake or other body of water
and its relation to the location of all
working places; and a profile map
showing the type of strata and the
distance in elevation between the coal
bed and the water involved. MSHA has
provided an exemption from
notification and permit application for
mine operators where the projected
mining is under any water reservoir
constructed by a Federal agency as of
December 30, 1969, and where the
operator is required by such agency to
operate in a manner that adequately
protects the safety of miners. The
exemption for such mining is addressed
by 30 CFR Sections 75.1716 and
75.1717.
MSHA also encourages a mine
operator to provide more information in
an application. When the operator files
an application for a permit, in addition
MSHA Forms: MSHA Form 5000–1,
Certificate of Electrical Training.
Comments submitted in response to
this notice will be summarized and
included in the request for Office of
Management and Budget approval of the
information collection request; they will
also become a matter of public record.
