DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

[OMB Control No. 1219–0146] 

Proposed Extension of Information 

Collection; Refuge Alternatives for 

Underground Coal Mines 

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health 

Administration, Labor. 

ACTION: Request for public comments. 

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 

collections of information in accordance 

with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 

1995. 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 on the 

information collection for Refuge 

Alternatives for Underground Coal 

Mines. 

DATES: All comments must be received 

on or before August 31, 2018. 

ADDRESSES: Comments concerning the 

information collection requirements of 

this notice may be sent by any of the 

methods listed below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes 

MSHA to collect information necessary 

to carry out its duty in protecting the 

safety and health of miners. Further, 

section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 

811, authorizes the Secretary of Labor 

(Secretary) to develop, promulgate, and 

revise as may be appropriate, improved 

mandatory health or safety standards for 

the protection of life and prevention of 

injuries in coal or other mines. 

Each underground coal mine has an 

emergency response plan (ERP) and 

refuge alternatives (RA) that protect 

miners when escape from a mine during 

a mine emergency is not possible by 

providing secure spaces with isolated 

atmospheres that create life-sustaining 

environments. 

Title 30 CFR 75.1506 requires mine 

operators to provide refuge alternatives. 

Section 75.1507 requires the 

development and implementation of 

emergency response plans. It requires 

that the ERP provide detailed 

information about the RAs used in the 

mine. This information assists miners, 

supervisors, emergency responders, and 

MSHA in assuring that all essential 

preparations are made and required 

materials are readily available and in 

working order. A mine operator may 

notify the District Manager and update 

the existing ERP if there is a need to 

locate an RA in a different location than 

the one identified in the ERP for that 

mine (as required by section 

75.1506(c)(2)). 

Section 75.1508 requires the mine 

operator to certify that persons assigned 

to examine, maintain, and repair RAs 

and components are trained for those 

tasks. Training certifications assist 

MSHA in determining that persons 

received the required training. The 

training certification for persons 

assigned to examine RAs is integrated 

into existing requirements for preshift 

examinations of the mine under section 

75.360 (OMB 1219–0088). The training 

certification for persons assigned to 

maintain and repair RAs is included in 

this package under section 75.1508(a). 

Section 75.1508(b) requires a record 

of any maintenance and repair 

performed on an RA. This record assists 

MSHA in identifying design flaws or 

other weaknesses in the refuge 

alternative or its components that could 

adversely impact the safety of miners.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY 

COMMISSION

Nebraska Public Power District; 

Cooper Nuclear Station 

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission. 

ACTION: License amendment application; 

notice of opportunity to comment, 

request a hearing, and petition for leave 

to intervene; order imposing 

procedures. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory 

Commission (NRC) is considering 

issuance of an amendment to Renewed 

Facility Operating License No. DPR–46, 

issued to Nebraska Public Power District 

(NPPD), for operation of the Cooper 

Nuclear Station (CNS). The proposed 

amendment would modify the CNS 

technical specifications by revising the 

two recirculation loop and single 

recirculation loop Safety Limit 

Minimum Critical Power Ratio 

(SLMCPR) values to reflect the results of 

a cycle specific calculation. For this 

amendment request, the NRC proposes 

to determine that it involves no 

significant hazards consideration. 

Because this amendment request 

contains sensitive unclassified nonsafeguards information (SUNSI), an 

order imposes procedures to obtain 

access to SUNSI for contention 

preparation. 

DATES: Comments must be filed by 

August 1, 2018. Requests for hearing or 

petitions for leave to intervene must be 

filed by August 31, 2018. Any potential 

party as defined in § 2.4 of title 10 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (10 CFR), 

who believes access to SUNSI is 

necessary to respond to this notice must 

request document access by July 12, 

2018.
