an industry in the United States is

materially injured and threatened with

material injury by reason of LTFV

imports of oleoresin paprika from India.

FR 14934). The conference was held in

Washington, DC, on March 26, 2001,

and all persons who requested the

opportunity were permitted to appear in

person or by counsel.

The Commission transmitted its

determination in this investigation to

the Secretary of Commerce on April 20,

2001. The views of the Commission are

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.

A copy of the proposed information

collection request can be obtained by

contacting the employee listed below in

the ADDRESSEE section of this notice.

DATES: Submit comments on or before

June 25, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Send comments to Brenda

C. Teaster, Acting Chief, Records

Management Division, 4015 Wilson

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Under section 103(g) of the Mine

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Pub. L.

91–173, as amended by Pub. L. 95–164)

(the Act)), a representative of miners, or

any individual miner acting voluntarily

as a repesentative of miners, may submit

a written notification of alleged

violation of the Act or a mandatory

standard or of an imminent danger.

Such notification requies MSHA to

make an immediate inspection. A copy

of the notice must be provided to the

operator.

Title 30, CFR, part 43, implements

section 103(g) of the 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 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

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting

comments concerning the proposed

extension of the information collection

related to the Hazardous Conditions

Complaints addressed by 30 CFR 43.4

and 43.7. 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

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 81 / Thursday, April 26, 2001 / Notices 21017

• 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 may be viewed on the

Internet by accessing the MSHA Home

Page (http://www.msha.gov) and

selecting ‘‘Statutory and Regulatory

Information’’ then ‘‘Paperwork

Reduction Act Submissions (http://

www.msha.gov/regspwork.htm)’’, or by

contacting the employee listed above in

the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this notice for a hard copy.

III. Current Actions

MSHA is required to conduct

inspections of hazardous conditions

whenever and however complaints are

made by miners or miners’

representatives to the Agency. This is a

mandatory Agency response dictated by

the provisions of section 103(g) of the

Act and implemented through the

provisions of part 43 CFR Title 30.

MSHA has minimized the paper work

burden by providing alternative toll free

telephone extensions and internet email procedures so that hazardous

complaints may be made verbally and

anonymously. These complaints are

reduced to written form by MSHA for

presentation to the operator or

independent contractor. MSHA’s

effectiveness in enforcing the safety and

health standards and ability to provide

timely response to hazardous conditions

requires immediate and confidential

investigation of safety complaints. Such

response is essential to retaining the

confidence of the miners and to

encouraging compliance with the health

and safety standards between inspection

events.

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. Lack of adequate

ventilation in underground mines has

resulted in fatalities from asphyxiation

and explosions.

II. Desired Focus of Comments

Currently, the Mine Safety and Health

Administration (MSHA) is soliciting

comments concerning the proposed

extension of the information collection

related to the Mine Ventilation System

Plan. 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.

III. Current Action

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.

The standard requires that mine

operators prepare a written plan of the

mine’s ventilation system and to update

the plan annually. The purposes are to

insure that each operator routinely

plans, reviews, and updates the plan; to

insure the availability of accurate and

correct information; and to provide

MSHA with the opportunity to alert the

mine operator to potential hazards.
