SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title 30 CFR part 45, Independent
Contractors, sets forth information requirements and procedures for
independent contractors to obtain a MSHA identification number and
procedures for service of documents upon independent contractors. The
information collections associated with this information collection
support the appropriate assessment of fines for violations by
independent contractors and the deterrent effect of MSHA enforcement
actions on independent contractors. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on June 16, 2021 (86 FR 32069).
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

a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
