SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act), 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, 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 and metal and nonmetal 

mines. 

MSHA works to prevent death, 

illness, and injury from mining and to 

promote safe and healthful workplaces 

for U.S. miners. Section 115 of the Mine 

Act, as amended, requires mine 

operators to have a health and safety 

training program. Under section 503 of 

the Mine Act, as amended, the Secretary 

may award grants to States to assist in 

developing and enforcing State mining 

laws and regulations, to improve State 

workers’ compensation and mining 

occupational disease laws and 

programs, and to improve safety and 

health conditions in the Nation’s mines 

through Federal-State coordination and 

cooperation. 

Grantees are required by U.S. 

Department of Labor (DOL) regulations 

to submit project and final reports. 

Grantees are also required to submit 

final reports no later than 90 days after 

the end of the grant period. 

Technical Project Reports: A grantee 

submits a technical project report to 

MSHA no later than 30 days after 

quarterly deadlines. Technical project 

reports provide both quantitative and 

qualitative information and a narrative 

assessment of performance for the 

preceding 3-month period. This 

includes a comparison of the current 

grant progress against the overall grant 

goals. Between reporting dates, the 

grantee informs MSHA of significant 

developments or problems affecting the 

organization’s ability to accomplish the 

work. 

Final Reports: At the end of the grant 

period, each grantee provides a project 

summary of its technical project reports, 

an evaluation report, and a close-out 

financial report. These final reports are 

due no later than 90 days after the end 

of the 12-month performance period. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

MSHA is soliciting comments 

concerning the proposed information 

collection related to Performance 

Reports for MSHA Grants. 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. 

Background documents related to this 

information collection request are 

available at https://regulations.gov and

Reports for MSHA Grants. MSHA has
