• Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

• Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

• 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,

Description: Title 30 CFR part 45 sets 

forth information requirements and

and procedures for service of documents 

upon independent contractors. The 

information is used by MSHA during 

inspections to determine proper 

responsibility for compliance with 

safety and health standards and to 

facilitate proper service of documents. 

This information is reviewed by MSHA 

inspectors semi-annually at surface 

mines, and quarterly at underground 

mines. MSHA uses the information to 

issue a permanent MSHA identification 

number to the independent contractor. 

This number allows MSHA to keep 

track of a contractor’s violation history 

so that appropriate civil penalties can be 

assessed for violations of the Federal 

Mine Safety and Health Act (Pub. L. 91– 

173) or its accompanying mandatory 

health and safety standards contained in 

Title 30 of the United States Code of 

Federal Regulations. For additional

harmful levels of noise exposure. 

Collection of such records is authorized 

under Section 103(h) of the Federal

requirements for shell dredging, sand, 

gravel, surface stone, surface clay, 

colloidal phosphate, or surface
