Sec. 427(a) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (30 
U.S.C. 937(a)) and accompanying regulations (42 CFR part 55a). The

awards using an OMB-approved set of performance measures and seeks to 
extend the approved collection. There are no proposed changes to the 
performance measures; however, there is a 45-hour decrease in estimated 
burden hours due to the streamlining of the data collection process, 
allowing awardees/respondents to be more efficient in collecting and
