32394 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 115 / Thursday, June 14, 2001 / Notices

(Internet E-mail), (703) 235–1383

(voice), or (703) 235–1563 (facsimile).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

Title 30 sections 71.400 through

71.402 and 75.1712–1 through 75.1712–

3 require coal mine operators to provide

bathing facilities, clothing change

rooms, and sanitary flush toilet facilities

in a location that is convenient for use

of the miners. If the operator is unable

to meet any or all of the requirements,

he/she may apply for a waiver. Title 30

CFR sections 71.403, 71.404, 75.1712–4

and 75.1712–5 provide procedures by

which an operator may apply for and be

granted a waiver. Applications are filed

with the District Manager for the district

in which the mine is located and

contain the name and address of the

mine operator, name and location of the

mine, and a detailed statement of the

grounds upon which the waiver is

requested and the period of time for

which it is requested. Waivers for

surface coal mines may be granted for a

period not to exceed one year; requests

for an annual extension may be sought

by the operator. Waivers for

underground coal mines may be granted

for extended periods of time based on

the information provided by the mine

operator in the request for a waiver.

The purpose for the waiver is to

assure the conditions at the mine make

it impractical for the mine operator to

provide the required facilities, and to

document the circumstances for

granting of the waiver. This gives the

mine operator written documentation

that the requirement(s) of the standard

have been waived by MSHA and MSHA

inspection personnel will not require

the mine operator to comply with the

part(s) of the standard included in the

waiver. Without this written

documentation MSHA inspection

personnel can not be assured that a

mine operator is not required to provide

the require sanitary facilities.

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 Application for Waiver of

Surface Facilities Requirement. 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 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 Action

This information is necessary in order

to assure the mine operator is not

required to provide the sanitary

facilities as required by the standard.

This information provides written

documentation that MSHA has waived

the requirements for the applicable

part(s) of the standard as outlined in the

waiver.
