BILLING CODE 7020-02-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Agency Information Collection Activities; Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request; Testing, Evaluation, and Approval of Mining Products ACTION: Notice of availability; request for comments. SUMMARY: The Department of Labor
(DOL)is submitting this Mine Safety and 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 July 25, 2024. ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of this notice to *www.reginfo.gov/public/do/PRAMain* . Find this particular information collection by selecting “Currently under 30-day Review—Open for Public Comments” or by using the search function. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Michael Howell by telephone at 202-693-6782, or by email at *DOL_PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov* . 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 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. *Agency:* DOL-MSHA. *Title of Collection:* Testing, Evaluation, and Approval of Mining Products, 30 CFR Subchapter B—Parts 6 Through 36. *OMB Control Number:* 1219-0066. *Affected Public:* Businesses or other for-profits. *Number of Respondents:* 83. *Frequency:* On occasion. *Number of Responses:* 248. Annual Burden Hours: 2,539 hours. *Total Estimated Annual Other Costs Burden:* $ 2,184,442. (Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(1)(D)) Michael Howell, Senior Paperwork Reduction Act Analyst.
