SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSHA regulations at 30 CFR parts 6 through
36 contain application, testing and inspection procedures, and quality
control procedures for the approval of mining equipment or explosives
used in both underground and surface coal, metal, and nonmetal mines.
Except for parts 6 and 7, MSHA conducts most of the testing and
evaluation of products for a fee paid by the applicant; although some
regulations require the manufacturer to pretest the product. Upon MSHA
approval, the manufacturer must ensure that the product continues to
conform to the specifications and design evaluated and approved by
MSHA. In some instances, as part of the approval process, manufacturers
are required to have a quality control or assurance plan. For
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register on April 10, 2024 (89 FR
25281).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information
is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the
Department, including whether the information will have practical
utility; (2) the accuracy of the agency's estimates of the burden and
cost of the collection of information, including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (3) ways to enhance the quality,
utility and clarity of the information collection; and (4) ways to
minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are
to respond, including the use of
[[Page 53120]]
automated collection techniques or other forms of information
technology.
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.
