SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 

1977 (Mine Act), as amended, 30 U.S.C. 

801 et seq., recognizes that education 

and training is an important element of 

federal efforts to make the nation’s 

mines safe. These standards are 

intended to ensure that miners will be 

effectively trained in matters affecting 

their health and safety, with the goal of 

reducing the occurrence of injury and 

illness in the nation’s mines. Title 30 

CFR 46.3 requires written training plans 

for training and retraining miners 

engaged in shell dredging or employed 

at sand, gravel, surface stone, surface 

clay, colloidal phosphate, or surface 

limestone mines. For additional 

substantive information about this ICR, 

see the related notice published in the 

Federal Register on January 21, 2022 

(87 FR 3357). 

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 the OMB 

approves it 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 OMB Control Number. 

See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. 

DOL seeks PRA authorization for this 

information collection for three (3) 

years. OMB authorization for an ICR 

cannot be for more than three (3) years 

without renewal. The DOL notes that 

information collection requirements 

submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs 

receive a month-to-month extension 

while they undergo review.
