# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    Sections 101(a) and 103(h) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 811(a) and 813(h), authorizes MSHA to collect information necessary to carryout its duty in protecting the safety and health of miners. MSHA requires that certain records be kept in connection with respirators, including: written standard operating procedures governing the selection and use of respirators; records of the date of issuance of the respirator; and fit-test results. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the                     **Federal Register**                     on March 21, 2023 (88 FRN 17021).
