Written comments and suggestions 

from the public and affected agencies

comments should address one or more 

of the following four points: 

—Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary

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 submission of 

responses. 

Overview of this information 

collection: 

(1) Type of Information Collection: 

Extension of a currently approved 

collection. 

(2) Title of the Form/Collection: 

Public Safety Officers Disability Benefits 

(3) Agency form number, if any, and

Department of Justice sponsoring the 

collection: OJP FORM 3650/7 Public 

Safety Officers Disability Benefits. 

(4) Affected public who will be asked 

or required to respond, as well as a brief 

abstract: 

Primary: Dependents of public safety 

officers who were killed or permanently 

and totally disabled in the line of duty. 

Abstract: The Public Safety Officers’

Benefits Act of 1976 (PSOB), 42 U.S.C. 

3796, authorizes the Bureau of Justice 

Assistance, Office of Justice Programs to 

pay a benefit to claimant public safety 

officers found to have been permanently 

and totally disabled as the direct result 

of a catastrophic line of duty injury 

sustained on or after November 29, 

1990. Others: None. 

(5) An estimate of the total number of 

respondents and the amount of time 

needed for an average respondent to 

respond is as follows: It is estimated that 

no more than 75 respondents will apply 

a year. Each application takes 

approximately 120 minutes to complete. 

(6) An estimate of the total public 

burden (in hours) associated with the 

collection: Total Annual Reporting 

Burden: 75 × 120 minutes per 

application = 9,000 minutes/by 60 

minutes per hour = 150 hours.

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

Proposed Information Collection 

Request Submitted for Public 

Comment and Recommendations; 

Mine Ventilation System Plan 

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. 

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting 

comments concerning the extension of 

the information collection related to the 

compliance with standards (30 CFR 

57.8520 and 57.8525). The ventilation 

system is the most vital life support 

system in underground mining and a 

properly operating ventilation system is 

essential for maintaining a safe and 

healthful working environment. A well 

planned mine ventilation system is 

necessary to assure a fresh air supply to 

miners at all working places, to control 

the amounts of harmful airborne

contaminants in the mine atmosphere, 

and to dilute possible accumulation of 

explosive gases. Lack of adequate 

ventilation in underground mines has 

resulted in fatalities from asphyxiation 

and explosions due to a buildup of 

explosive gases. 

DATES: Submit comments on or before 

July 6, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Send comments to U.S. 

Department of Labor, Mine Safety and 

Health Administration, Debbie Ferraro, 

Management Services Division, 1100 

Wilson Boulevard, Room 2171, 

Arlington, VA 22209–3939. Commenters 

are encouraged to send their comments 

on a computer disk, or via e-mail to 

Ferraro.Debbie@dol.gov, along with an 

original printed copy. Ms. Ferraro can 

be reached at (202) 693–9821 (voice), or 

(202) 693–9801 (facsimile).

ADDRESSES section of this notice. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Underground mines present harsh 

and hostile working environments. The 

ventilation system is the most vital life 

support system in underground mining 

and a properly operating ventilation 

system is essential for maintaining a 

safe and healthful working 

environment. Inadequate ventilation can 

be a primary factor for deaths caused by 

disease of the lungs (e.g. silicosis). In 

addition, poor working conditions from 

lack of adequate ventilation contribute 

to accidents resulting from heat stress, 

limited visibility, or impaired judgment 

from contaminants. 

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

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.’’

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting

Agency: Mine Safety and Health 

Administration. 

Title: Ventilation Plan and Main Fan

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 103(g) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Pub. L. 

91–173, as amended by Pub. L. 95–164) 

(Mine Act), states that a representative 

of miners, or any individual miner 

where this is no miners representative, 

may submit a written or oral notification 

of alleged violation of the Mine Act or 

a mandatory standard or of an imminent 

danger. Such notification requires the 

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

(MSHA) to make an immediate 

inspection. A copy of the notice must be 

provided to the operator. 

Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations 

(30 CFR), Part 43, implements Section 

103(g) of the Mine Act. It provides the 

procedures for submitting notification of 

the alleged violation and the actions 

which MSHA must take after receiving 

the notice. Although the regulation 

contains a review procedure (required 

by Section 103(g)(2) of the Mine Act) 

whereby a miner or a representative of 

miners may in writing request a review 

if no citation or order is written as a 

result of the original notice, the option 

is so rarely used that it was not 

considered in the burden estimates. 

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
