ACTION: Notice. 

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

opportunity to comment on proposed 

and/or continuing collections of 

information in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 [44 

U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program 

helps to assure 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 concerning the extension of 

the information collection for 

Hazardous Conditions Complaints 30 

CFR 43.4 and 43.7. 

DATES: All comments must be received 

by midnight Eastern Daylight Savings 

Time on November 15, 2010. 

ADDRESSES: Comments must clearly be 

identified with the rule title and may be 

submitted to MSHA by any of the 

following methods: 

(1) Electronic mail: zzMSHA– 

Comments@dol.gov. 

(2) Facsimile: (202) 693–9441. 

(3) Regular Mail: MSHA, Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under Section 103(g) of the Federal 

Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as 

amended (Mine Act), a representative of 

miners, or any individual miner where 

there is no representative of miners, 

may submit a written or oral notification 

of the alleged violation of the Mine Act 

or a mandatory standard or an imminent 

danger. The notifier has the right to 

obtain an immediate inspection by the 

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

(MSHA). A copy of the notice must be 

provided to the operator, with 

individual miner names redacted. 

MSHA regulations at 30 CFR part 43 

implement Section 103(g) of the Mine 

Act. These regulations provide the 

procedures for submitting notification of 

the alleged violation or imminent 

danger and the actions that MSHA must 

take after receiving the notice. Although 

the regulations contain a review 

procedure (required by Section 103(g)(2) 

of the Mine Act) whereby a miner or a 

representative of miners may in writing 

request a review if no citation or order 

is issued 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 

MSHA 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 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 can be obtained by 

contacting the employee listed in the 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT

section of this notice, or viewed on the 

Internet by selecting ‘‘Rules & Regs’’, and 

then selecting ‘‘FedReg.Docs’’. On the 

next screen, select ‘‘Paperwork 

Reduction Act Supporting Statement’’ to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act), 30 U.S.C. 813, authorizes MSHA to 

collect information necessary to carry 

out its duty in protecting the safety and 

health of miners. 

Underground coal mine operators are 

required to submit for approval a plan 

that will provide the safety of workmen 

in each slope or shaft that is 

commenced or extended from the 

surface to the underground coal mine. 

Each slope or shaft sinking operation is 

unique in that each operator uses 

different methods and equipment and 

encounters different geological strata 

which make it impossible for a single 

set of regulations to assure the safety of 

the miners under all circumstances. 

This makes an individual slope or shaft 

sinking plan necessary. 

II. Desired Focus of Comments 

MSHA 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 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.

collection request can be obtained by
