SUMMARY: The Department of Labor (DOL) is submitting this Mine Safety &
Health Administration (MSHA)-sponsored information collection request
(ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA).
Public comments on the ICR are invited.
DATES: The OMB will consider all written comments that the agency
receives on or before June 15, 2026.
ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed

this notice to <a href="http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain">www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain</a>. Find this particular

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Nicole Bouchet by telephone at 202-

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The respondents for the paperwork provisions
of this rule are underground mine operators. The records will be used
by mine operators, supervisors, and employees, and State and Federal
mine inspectors to provide assurance that each mine operator and mine
rescue team is prepared for a mine emergency. The records show that the
mine rescue team equipment has been examined and tested and is in good
working order. The training records show that the mine rescue team
members and responsible persons at the mine are competent to respond to
a mine emergency involving a fire, an explosion, or a gas or water
inundation. The records greatly assist those who use them in making
decisions that will ultimately affect the safety of all persons working
underground. These information collection requirements help assure that
properly trained mine rescue teams are readily available to save
endangered miners in life-threatening situations. In addition, the
training requirements in this information collection will help assure
the safety of the mine rescue team itself. For additional substantive
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the
Federal Register on January 26, 2026 (91 FR 3225).
Comments are invited on: (1) whether the collection of information
is
[[Page 27987]]
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.
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
collection requirements submitted to the OMB for existing ICRs receive
a month-to-month extension while they undergo review.
