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. Chronic exposure to
respirable coal mine dust causes lung
diseases including coal workers’
pneumoconiosis (CWP), emphysema,
silicosis, and chronic bronchitis, known
collectively as ‘‘black lung.’’ MSHA’s
standards in 30 CFR parts 70, 71, and
90 require each mine operator of an
underground coal mine, surface coal
mine, and surface work areas of an
underground coal mine, and each coal
mine operator who employs a part 90
miner, to protect miners from exposure
to excessive respirable coal mine dust
levels. Parts 70 and 71 require coal mine
operators to continuously maintain the
average concentration of respirable coal
mine dust in the mine atmosphere
where miners normally work or travel at
or below 1.5 milligrams per cubic meter
(mg/m3). For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the
related notice published in the Federal
Register on May 23, 2022 (87 FR 31261).
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
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 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
information collection requirements
submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review.
Agency: DOL–MSHA.
Title of Collection: Respirable Coal
Mine Dust Sampling.
OMB Control Number: 1219–0011.
