I. Background
[OMB Control No. 1219–0New]
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977, as
amended (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(a), 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, metal and nonmetal
mines.
A final rule titled ‘‘Lowering Miners’
Exposure to Respirable Crystalline
Silica and Improving Respiratory
Protection’’ (RIN 1219–AB36) amends
30 CFR 72.710 to incorporate by
reference ASTM F3387–19, entitled
‘‘Standard Practice for Respiratory
Protection,’’ because it is the most
recent consensus standard developed by
experts in government and professional
associations on the selection, use, and
maintenance for respiratory equipment.
The final rule requires that approved
respirators be selected, fitted, used, and
maintained in accordance with the
provisions of a written respiratory
protection program consistent with the
requirements of ASTM F3387–19.
Section 30 CFR 72.710 incorporates,
by reference, requirements of ASTM
F3387–19 related to respiratory
protective equipment. These
requirements mandate that coal mines

Reduction Act of 1995. This program
helps to ensure that requested data can
be provided in the desired format,
reporting burden (time and financial
resources) is minimized, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
the impact of collection requirements on
respondents can be properly assessed.
The Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) is soliciting
comments on the information collection
for Coal Respirator Program.
DATES: All comments must be received
on or before July 1, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the
information collection requirements of
this notice may be sent by any of the
methods listed below. Please note that

where miners must wear respirators
have written standard operating
procedures (SOPs) for their respiratory
program, that such miners who must
wear respirators are fit-tested in a
medical evaluation to the respirators
that they will use, and that mines
perform emergency respirator
inspections. Records are also required to
be kept in connection with respirators,
including revised written SOPs
governing the selection and use of
respirators; records relating to the
respiratory programs according to
ASTM requirements; medical
evaluation/fit-test results; and records of
emergency respirators inspection.
Emergency respirator inspections are
regular inspections of respirators
reserved for use during emergencies; the
inspections are used to ensure that
respirators would properly function if
needed during an emergency.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection. 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
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
The information collection request
will be available on https://
www.regulations.gov. MSHA cautions
the commenter against providing any
