Title: Application for a Permit to Fire 

More than 20 Boreholes for the use of 

Non-permissible Blasting Units, 

Explosives and Shot-firing Units. 

OMB Number: 1219–0025. 

Form Number: None. 

Type of Response: Reporting and 

Third-party disclosure. 

Affected Public: Private Sector: 

Business or other for-profit (mining 

industry). 

Number of Respondents: 50. 

Estimated Number of Annual 

Responses: 107. 

Average Response Time: 1 hour to 

prepare and submit a permit application 

and 20 minutes to prepare and post a 

notice warning that an un-disposed 

misfire is present. 

Estimated Annual Burden Hours: 69. 

Total Annualized capital/startup 

costs: $0. 

Total Annual Costs (operating/ 

maintaining systems or purchasing

Description: Under Section 313 of the 

Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 

1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 873, any 

explosives used in underground coal 

mines must be permissible. The Mine 

Act also provides that under safeguards 

prescribed by the Secretary of Labor, a 

mine operator may permit the firing of 

more than 20 shots and the use of nonpermissible explosives in sinking shafts 

and slopes from the surface in rock. 

Title 30 CFR 75.1321 outlines the 

procedures by which a permit may be 

issued for the firing of more than 20 

boreholes and/or the use of nonpermissible shot-firing units in 

underground coal mines. In those 

instances in which there is a misfire of 

explosives, 30 CFR 75.1327 requires that 

a qualified person post each accessible 

entrance to the affected area with a 

warning to prohibit entry. Title 30 CFR 

77.1909–1 outlines the procedures by 

which a coal mine operator may apply 

for a permit to use non-permissible 

explosives and/or shot-firing units in 

the blasting of rock while sinking shafts 

or slopes for underground coal mines. 

To obtain a permit, the mine operator 

files an application with the MSHA 

district manager in the district in which 

the mine is located. Applications may 

be mailed or faxed, using company 

letterhead stationery and should contain 

the name and address of the mine, the 

designated active workings in which the 

units will be used and the approximate 

number of shots to be fired, the period 

of time during which such units are to 

be used, the nature of the development 

or construction for which they will be 

used, a plan to protect miners, a 

statement of the specific hazards 

anticipated, and the method to be 

employed to avoid the dangers 

anticipated. 

The district manager may permit the 

firing of more than 20 boreholes of 

permissible explosives in a round where 

he has determined that it is necessary to

20564 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 79 / Wednesday, April 25, 2007 / Notices 

reduce the overall hazard to which 

miners are exposed during underground 

blasting. The district manager issues a 

permit to use non-permissible items 

when he finds that a permissible shotfiring unit does not have adequate 

blasting capacity and the use of such 

permissible units will create 

development or construction hazards. 

As a condition of use, the district 

manager may include safeguards, in 

addition to those proposed by the 

operator, that he determines are 

necessary to protect the safety of the 

miners at the time the blasting is 

permitted collection. 

MSHA uses the information requested 

to issue a permit to the mine operator 

for the use of non-permissible 

explosives and/or shot-firing units. The 

permit informs mine management and 

the miners of the steps to be employed 

to protect the safety of any person 

exposed to such blasting while using 

non-permissible items.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment Standards Administration 

Proposed Collection; Comment 

Request 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Labor, as 

part of its continuing effort to reduce 

paperwork and respondent burden, 

conducts a preclearance consultation 

program to provide the general public 

and Federal agencies with an 

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 

program helps to ensure that requested 

data can be provided in the desired 

format, reporting burden (time and 

financial resources) is minimized, 

collection instruments are clearly 

understood, and the impact of collection 

requirements on respondents can be 

properly assessed. Currently, the 

Employment Standards Administration 

is soliciting comments concerning the 

proposed collection: Employer’s First 

Report of Injury or Occupational Disease 

(LS–202) and Employer’s 

Supplementary Report of Accident or 

Occupational Illness (LS–210). A copy 

of the proposed information collection 

request can be obtained by contacting 

the office listed below in the addresses 

section of this Notice. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

submitted to the office listed in the 

ADDRESSES section below on or before 

June 25, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Ms. Hazel M. Bell, U.S. 

Department of Labor, 200 Constitution 

Ave., NW., Room S–3201, Washington, 

DC 20210, telephone (202) 693–0418,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Office of Workers’ Compensation 

Programs administers the Longshore 

and Harbor Workers’ Compensation Act. 

The Act provides benefits to workers 

injured in maritime employment on the 

navigable waters of the United States 

and adjoining area customarily used by 

an employee in loading, unloading, 

repairing, or building a vessel. The LS–

202 is used by employers initially to 

report injuries that have occurred which 

are covered under the Longshore Act 

and its related statutes. The LS–210 is 

used to report additional periods of lost 

time from work. The LS–205 has been 

removed from this collection since the 

physicians that need to complete this 

form have commented that they prefer 

to submit their own narrative reports, 

which allows them to better explain a 

claimant’s condition. This information 

collection is currently approved for use 

through October 31, 2007. 

II. Review Focus 

The Department of Labor is 

particularly interested in comments 

which: 

• 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, 

e.g., permitting electronic submissions 

of responses 

III. Current Actions 

The Department of Labor seeks the 

extension of approval of this 

information collection in order to 

ensure that employers are complying 

with the reporting requirements of the 

Act and to ensure that injured claimants 

receive all compensation benefits to 

which they are entitled.
