SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
A. Legal Authority
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) as amended, 30 U.S.C. 813(h),
authorizes the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (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.
B. Information Collection
In order to fulfill the statutory
mandates to promote miners’ health and
safety, MSHA requires the collection of
information under the information
collection request entitled Explosive
Materials and Blasting Units (Pertains
only to Category III Metal and Nonmetal
Mines Deemed to be Gassy). The
information collection is intended to
determine whether nonapproved
explosive materials and blasting units
and procedures are safe for use in
Category III mines.
All mines must use approved blasting
units and explosives to ensure miner
health and safety. If mine operators
choose to use unapproved blasting units
and explosives, they must obtain
approval from MSHA before doing so.
Under title 30 of the Code of Federal
PO 00000
Frm 00077
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Regulations (30 CFR) 57.22003(a) and
(a)(3), mine category III applies to all
underground metal and nonmetal mines
and the surface mills of Subcategory I–
C mines (gilsonite) in which
noncombustible ore is extracted and
which liberate a concentration of
methane that is explosive, or is capable
of forming explosive mixtures with air,
or have the potential to do so based on
the history of the mine or the geological
area in which the mine is located. The
concentration of methane in such mines
is explosive or is capable of forming
explosive mixtures if mixed with air at
certain composition.
1. Notifying MSHA Prior to Using
Nonapproved Explosive Materials and
Blasting Units
Under 30 CFR 7.4 and 15, MSHA tests
and approves blasting units and
explosive materials as permissible for
use in mines, respectively. Under 30
CFR 57.22606(a), mine operators of
Category III metal and nonmetal mines
must notify the appropriate MSHA
District Manager of all nonapproved
explosive materials and blasting units
prior to their use. Explosive materials
used for blasting must be approved by
MSHA under 30 CFR part 15, or
nonapproved explosive materials must
be evaluated and determined by the
District Manager to be safe for blasting
in a potentially gassy environment. The
notice must also include the
millisecond-delay interval between
successive shots and between the first
and last shot in a round.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection entitled Explosive Materials
and Blasting Units (Pertains only to
Category III Metal and Nonmetal Mines
Deemed to be Gassy). 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,
