SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR 

seeks to extend PRA authority for the 

Acrylonitrile (AN) Standard information 

collection requirements codified in 

regulations 29 CFR 1910.1045. The 

Standard is an occupational safety and 

health standard that protects workers 

from the adverse health effects that may 

result from exposure to AN. The AN 

Standard information collection 

requirements are essential components 

that protect workers from occupational 

exposure. Occupational Safety and 

Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) covered 

employers subject to the Standard and 

employees use the information to 

implement the protection the Standard 

requires. The information collections 

contained in the AN Standard include 

notifying a worker of AN exposures; a 

written compliance program; a worker 

medical surveillance program; and the 

development, maintenance, and 

disclosure of workers’ exposure 

monitoring and medical records. OSH 

Act sections 2(b) (9), 6, and 8(c) 

authorize this information collection. 

See 29 U.S.C. 651(b)(9), 655, and 657(c). 

This information collection is subject 

to the PRA. A Federal agency generally 

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection 

of information, and the public is 

generally not required to respond to an 

information collection, unless it is 

approved by the OMB under the PRA 

and displays a currently valid OMB 

Control Number. In addition, 

notwithstanding any other provisions of 

law, no person shall generally be subject 

to penalty for failing to comply with a 

collection of information that does not 

display a valid Control Number. See 5 

CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 

obtains OMB approval for this 

information collection under Control 

Number 1218–0126. 

OMB authorization for an ICR cannot 

be for more than three (3) years without 

renewal, and the current approval for 

this collection is scheduled to expire on 

June 30, 2018. The DOL seeks to extend 

PRA authorization for this information 

collection for three (3) more years, 

without any change to existing 

requirements. The DOL notes that 

existing information collection 

requirements submitted to the OMB 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review. For 

additional substantive information 

about this ICR, see the related notice 

published in the Federal Register on 

March 8, 2018 (83 FR 9868). 

Interested parties are encouraged to 

send comments to the OMB, Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs at 

the address shown in the ADDRESSES

section within thirty (30) days of 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. In order to help ensure 

appropriate consideration, comments 

should mention OMB Control Number 

1218–0126. The OMB 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 submission of 

responses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Introduction 

Under section 101 of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977, a mine 

operator may petition and the Secretary 

of Labor (Secretary) may modify the 

application of a mandatory safety 

standard to that mine if the Secretary 

determines that: (1) An alternative 

method exists that will guarantee no 

less protection for the miners affected 

than that provided by the standard; or 

(2) the application of the standard will 

result in a diminution of safety to the 

affected miners. 

MSHA bases the final decision on the 

petitioner’s statements, any comments 

and information submitted by interested 

persons, and a field investigation of the 

conditions at the mine. In some 

instances, MSHA may approve a 

petition for modification on the 

condition that the mine operator 

complies with other requirements noted 

in the decision.
