DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Mine Safety and Health Administration

Proposed Information Collection

Request Submitted for Public

Comment and Recommendations:

Certificate of Electrical/Noise Training

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 Mine Safety and Health

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting

comments concerning the proposed

extension of the information collection

related to the Certificate of Electrical/

Noise Training. MSHA 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.

A copy of the proposed information

collection request can be obtained by

contacting the employee listed below in

the For Further Information Contact

section of this notice.

DATES: Submit comments on or before

November 18, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Patricia

W. Silvey, Director, Office of Standards,

Regulations, and Variances, 4015

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

MSHA qualifies mine electricians and

certifies persons to take noise level

measurements in coal mines. MSHA

Form 5000–1 is used to report to MSHA

those miners who have satisfactorily

completed (1) a coal mine electrical

training program; or (2) a noise training

course. Based on the information

submitted on Form 5000–1, MSHA

issues certification cards that identify

these individuals as qualified to perform

certain tasks at the mine.

Title 30 CFR 75.153(a)(2) and

77.103(a)(2) require that a program be

provided for the qualification of certain

experienced personnel as mine

electricians. Title 30 CFR 70.504 and

71.801 require that mine operators

measure the noise levels to which each

miner is exposed and that these

measurements be taken by a person who

has been certified by the Assistant

Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and

Health as qualified. A qualified person

is one who has been certified by MSHA

as an instructor in noise measurement

training programs; or has completed a

noise training course conducted by and

approved by MSHA.

II. Current Actions

MSHA uses the information from

MSHA Form 5000–1 to issue

certification cards to those persons who

are qualified. MSHA inspectors may

asks to see the cards to determine

compliance with regulations during

routine inspections. Mine operators use

the cards to determine a person’s
