SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR
seeks to extend PRA authority for the
Hazardous Conditions Complaint
information collection. 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 103(g) of Mine
Act, a representative of miners, or any
individual miner where there is no
representative of miners, may submit a
written or oral notification of an alleged
violation of the Mine Act or a
mandatory standard or that an imminent
danger exists. The notifier has the right
DATES:
PO 00000
Frm 00119
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
to obtain an immediate inspection by
MSHA. A copy of the notice must be
provided to the operator, with
individual miner names redacted.
MSHA regulations at 30 CFR part 43
implement section 103(g) of the Mine
Act. These regulations provide the
procedures for submitting notification of
the alleged violation and the actions
that MSHA must take after receiving the
notice. Although the regulations contain
a review procedure (required by section
103(g)(2) of the Mine Act) whereby a
miner or a representative of miners may
in writing request a review if no citation
or order is issued as a result of the
original notice, the option is so rarely
used that it was not considered in the
burden estimates.
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 the OMB
under the PRA approves it 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–
0014.
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
January 31, 2020. 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
September 20, 2019 (84 FR 49560).
Interested parties are encouraged to
send comments to the OMB, Office of
Information and Regulatory Affairs at
the address shown in the ADDRESSES
section within thirty-(30) days of
publication of this notice in the Federal
Register. In order to help ensure
appropriate consideration, comments
should mention OMB Control Number
1219–0014. The OMB is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the agency, including
E:\FR\FM\22JAN1.SGM
22JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 14 / Wednesday, January 22, 2020 / Notices
whether the information will have
practical utility:
• Evaluate the accuracy of the
agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used.
• 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.

seeks to extend PRA authority for the

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine

the protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal
mines. MSHA allows operators to use
air from a belt air course to ventilate a
working section, or an area where
mechanized mining equipment is being
installed or removed, only under certain
conditions. The belt air use must be
evaluated and approved by the district
manager in the mine ventilation plan
and operators must follow a number of
other requirements that provide
additional protection.
The Mine Act is supported by a
variety of requirements contained in 30
CFR Sections 75.350(b), 75.351(b)(3–4),
75.351(j), 75.351(m), 75.351(n)(2),
