SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 77.1713, Title 30 of the Code of
Federal Regulations requires coal mine operators to conduct
examinations of each active working area of surface mines, active
surface installations at these mines, facilities and preparation plants
not associated with underground coal mines for hazardous conditions
during each shift. A report of hazardous conditions detected must be
entered into a record book along with a description of any corrective
actions taken. For additional substantive information about this ICR,
see the related notice published in the Federal Register on March 22,
2022 (87 FR 16240).

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.
