DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Mine Safety and Health Administration

30 CFR Parts 3, 7, 15, 18, 23, 32, 33, 36, 40, 43, 45, 48, 56, 57, 
70, 71, 75, 77, and 90


Office of Management and Budget Control Numbers Under the 
Paperwork Reduction Act

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is adding a 
new part to its regulations in order to consolidate the display of 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) control numbers approved under 
the Paperwork Reduction Act. The display references regulations 
promulgated under the Mine Act containing recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements. This consolidation will assist the public search for 
specific information on recordkeeping and reporting requirements 
approved by OMB and will provide the Agency a format that is simpler to 
maintain.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 29, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia W. Silvey, Director, Office 
of Standards, Regulations, and Variances, MSHA, 703-235-1910.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSHA reviewed its existing regulations 
requiring collection of information for OMB control number display and 
accuracy. As part of that review, MSHA is today publishing the control 
numbers issued by OMB for information collection. The affected 
regulations are codified in title 30 of the Code of Federal Regulations 
(30 CFR) parts 7, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29, 32, 33, 
35, 36, 40, 41, 43, 44, 45, 48, 49, 50, 56, 57, 70, 71, 75, 77, and 90.
    MSHA is presenting the OMB control numbers in a table format to be 
codified in part 3, subchapter A, chapter I, 30 CFR. This part will 
fulfill the requirements of 44 U.S.C. 3507(f) of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act which prohibits an agency from engaging in a collection 
of information without displaying the control number obtained from OMB. 
The table lists the part and section numbers with reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements and the OMB control numbers. MSHA selected 
the list format to provide ease of referencing paperwork burden hours 
and to allow consistent updating. As a result of this new format, the 
parenthetical statements containing OMB control numbers currently found 
in 30 CFR at the end of individual paragraphs can be removed.
    The OMB control numbers listed in this document were approved 
previously by OMB. This document makes no substantive change to the 
current OMB information collection budget. When control numbers 
included on this list are not found in 30 CFR, it is due to their 
having been inadvertently omitted from publication in the Federal 
Register, even though OMB approval had been obtained. When control 
numbers in this document differ from those currently listed in 30 CFR, 
it is due to a correction of errors or an earlier consolidation of 
control numbers. In other cases, OMB control numbers currently listed 
at the end of individual paragraphs were removed previously from OMB's 
List of Active Information Collections Approved Under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act, but not removed from 30 CFR. OMB removed some of these 
numbers as a result of a 1990 Supreme Court decision on third-party 
disclosure rendering some types of regulations no longer applicable for 
OMB review under the 1980 Paperwork Reduction Act. In some cases, MSHA 
converted a reporting requirement to certification as provided in 44 
U.S.C. 3501-3520.
    MSHA has determined that public notice and comment is 
``unnecessary'' in this rulemaking because the reformatting of OMB 
control numbers from the end of the regulatory information collection 
sections to a composite list constitutes a minor technical amendment 
which contains no new requirements. As a result, MSHA finds that there 
is ``good cause'' under 5 U.S.C. 553 (b)(B) of the Administrative 
Procedure Act (APA) to issue this table without prior public notice and 
comment. In addition, MSHA has determined that delaying the effective 
date is ``unnecessary'' because the technical amendment contains no new 
requirements for which the public would need time to plan compliance. 
MSHA finds, therefore, that there is ``good cause'' to except this 
action from the 30-day delayed effective date requirement pursuant to 5 
U.S.C. 553(d)(3) of the APA.
