SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

covers the following requirements for a 

coal mine: reporting to the MSHA how 

the mine will comply with mine rescue 

team requirements; reporting to the 

MSHA alternative mine rescue 

capability for a small and remote mine; 

providing an annual certification to the 

MSHA that each mine rescue team 

designated to provide mine rescue 

coverage meets applicable requirements; 

maintaining a record of mine rescue 

equipment testing, medical physical 

examinations of mine rescue team 

members, and mine rescue team 

training; posting a copy of the mine 

rescue notification plan and providing a 

written copy to a designated mine 

worker representative; and posting at 

appropriate places of an underground or 

surface mine the names, titles, 

addresses, and telephone numbers of all 

persons or services currently available 

under medical assistance and 

transportation arrangements. Coal mine 

operators, supervisors, and employees, 

as well as State and Federal mine 

inspectors use the records to provide 

assurance that each mine operator and 

mine rescue team is prepared for a mine 

emergency. Records also show that mine 

rescue team equipment has been 

examined and tested and is in good 

working order. Training records show 

that mine rescue team members and the 

responsible persons at the mine are 

competent to respond to a mine 

emergency involving a fire, an 

explosion, or a gas or water inundation. 

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 it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

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 Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1219–0144. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

October 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to 

extend PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. It should also be noted 

that existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Regulations 30 CFR 75.315 make it 

mandatory for a mine operator electing 

to use belt air to ventilate a working 

section or area where mechanized 

equipment is being installed or removed 

to maintain records used by coal mine 

supervisors, miners, and Federal and 

State mine inspectors to show required 

examinations and tests were conducted. 

These records give insight into 

hazardous conditions that have been or 

may be encountered. Inspection records 

help in making decisions that ultimately 

affect the safety and health of miners 

working in belt air mines. Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 section 

103(h) (30 U.S.C. 813(h)) authorizes the 

MSHA to collect information necessary 

to carry out its duty in protecting the 

safety and health of miners. 

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 it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

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 Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1219–0138. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

October 31, 2013. The DOL seeks to

information collection for three (3) more 

years, without any change to existing 

requirements. It should also be noted
