SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The reporting and recordkeeping provisions
in 30 CFR 50, Notification, Investigation, Reports and Records of
Accidents, Injuries and Illnesses, Employment and Coal Production in
Mines, are essential elements in MSHA's statutory mandate to reduce
work-related injuries and illnesses among the nation's miners (30
U.S.C. 801). Part 50 applies to operators of coal, metal, and nonmetal
mines. It requires operators to immediately notify MSHA of accidents,
investigate accidents and restrict disturbance of accident-related
areas. This part also requires operators to file reports with MSHA
pertaining to accidents, occupational injuries, and occupational
illnesses, as well as employment and coal production data, and requires
operators to maintain copies of reports at mine offices. For additional
substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice
published in the Federal Register on September 21, 2023 (88 FRN 65196).
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.
