including whether the information will
have practical utility; (2) if the
information will be processed and used
in a timely manner; (3) the accuracy of
the agency’s estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (4)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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. Title 30 CFR 56.19057 and
57.19057 require the examination and
certification of hoist operators’ physical
fitness by a qualified, licensed
physician, within 12 months preceding
hoisting duties. The safety of all metal
and nonmetal miners riding hoist
conveyances is largely dependent upon
the attentiveness and physical
capabilities of the hoist operator.
Improper movements, overspeed, and
overtravel of a hoisting conveyance can
result in serious physical harm or death
to passengers.
For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on May 12, 2020 (85 FR 28039).
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

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 OMB Control Number.
See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6.
DOL seeks PRA authorization for this
information collection for three (3)
years. OMB authorization for an ICR
cannot be for more than three (3) years
without renewal. The DOL notes that

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs

while they undergo review.
