Proposed Information Collection Request Submitted for Public Comment and Recommendations; Fire Protection (Underground Coal Mines)

The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the general public and Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This 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. Currently, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is soliciting comments about the proposed reinstatement of the information collection related to program of instruction, location and use of fire fighting equipment, location of escapeways, exits and routes of travel, and evacuation procedures. MSHA is also soliciting comments about certain existing information collections which were determined to be certifications under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1980 and were therefore not considered to be a paperwork burden under that statut
