1Based on its assessment of the paperwork

requirements contained in this standard, the

Agency estimates that the total burden hours

decreased compared to its previous burden-hour

estimate. Under this notice, OSHA is not proposing

to revise these paperwork requirements in any

substantive manner, only to decrease its estimate of

the burden hours imposed by the existing

paperwork requirements.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Mine Safety and Health Administration

Fee Adjustments for Testing,

Evaluation, and Approval of Mining

Products

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health

Administration (MSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice of fee adjustments.

SUMMARY: This notice revises the user

fees for MSHA’s Approval and

Certification Center (A&CC). Fees

compensate MSHA for the costs

incurred for testing, evaluating, and

approving certain products for use in

underground mines. The 2002 fees are

based on MSHA’s actual expenses for

fiscal year 2001. The fees reflect changes

both in MSHA’s approval processing

operations and in the costs to process

approval actions.

DATES: This fee schedule is effective

from January 1, 2002 through December

31, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Steven J. Luzik, Chief, Approval and

Certification Center (A&CC), 304–547–

2029 or 304–547–0400.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On May 8, 1987 (52 FR 17506), MSHA

published a final rule, 30 CFR Part 5—

Fees for Testing, Evaluation, and

Approval of Mining Products. The rule

established specific procedures for

calculating, administering, and revising

user fees. MSHA has revised its fee

schedule for 2001 in accordance with

the procedures of that rule. This new fee

schedule is included below. For

approval applications postmarked

before January 1, 2002, MSHA will

continue to calculate fees under the

previous (2001) fee schedule, published

on December 28, 2000.

Fee Computation

In general, MSHA computed the 2002

fees based on fiscal year 2001 data. We

calculated a weighted-average, direct

cost for all the services provided during

fiscal year 2001 in the processing of

requests for testing, evaluation, and

approval of certain products for use in

underground mines. From this cost, we

calculated a single hourly rate to apply

uniformly across all of the product

approval categories during 2002.

of December, 2001.

Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety
