SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Main fans for all underground metal and 
nonmetal gassy mines must have pressure-recording systems. The fans are 
required to be examined daily while operating if persons are 
underground. The pressure-recording systems indicate whether the fans 
are in good operating condition. The pressure recordings are required 
to be kept one year. For additional substantive information about this 
ICR, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on 
December 27, 2024 (89 FR 105632).
    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 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.
