If the operator is unable to meet any or all of the requirements, the operator may apply for a waiver. Title 30 CFR 71.403, 71.404, 75.1712-4, and 75.1712-5 provide procedures by which an operator may apply for and be granted a waiver. Applications must be submitted to the MSHA District Manager for the district in which the mine is located and must contain the name and address of the mine operator, name and location of the mine, and a detailed statement of the grounds on which the waiver is requested. Waivers for surface mines may be granted by the District Manager for a period not to exceed one year. If the waiver is granted, surface mine operators may apply for annual extensions of the approved waiver. Waivers for underground mines may be granted by the District Manager for the period of time requested by the underground mine operator as long as the circumstances that were used to justify granting the waiver remain in effect. Waivers are not transferable to a successor coal mine operator. For additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the **Federal Register** on January 2, 2020 (85 FR 134). 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. *Agency:* DOL-MSHA. *Title of Collection:* Application for Waiver of Surface Sanitary Facilities' Requirements (Pertaining to Coal Mines). *OMB Control Number:* 1219-0024. *Affected Public:* Private Sector: Businesses or other for-profits. *Total Estimated Number of Respondents:* 525. *Total Estimated Number of Responses:* 525. *Total Estimated Annual Time Burden:* 232 hours. *Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden:* $2,625.
