# ACTION:

Notice. 

# SUMMARY:

The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden conducts a pre-clearance 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. 

# DATES:

Submit comments on or before July 2, 2007.

# FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

                        The employee listed in the “                        **ADDRESSES**                        ” section of this notice.                     

# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## I. Background 

The Mine Safety and Health Administration's (MSHA) standards and regulations for diesel particulate in underground coal mines serve to protect coal miners who work on and around diesel-powered equipment. The internal combustion engines that power diesel equipment expose miners to potential health risks from exposure to diesel exhaust emissions. These standards and regulations contain information collection requirements for underground coal mine operators. 

## II. Desired Focus of Comments 

MSHA is particularly interested in comments that: 
    - 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.                 

                    A copy of the proposed information collection request can be obtained by contacting the employee listed in the                     **FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT**                     section of this notice, or viewed on the Internet by accessing the MSHA home page (                    *http://www.msha.gov*) and then choosing “Rules and Regs” and “Federal Register Documents.”
