    The OMB is particularly interested in comments which:

necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility:

burden of the proposed collection of information, including the 
validity of the methodology and assumptions used;
     Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and
     Minimize the burden of the collection of information on 
those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate 
automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection 
techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting 
electronic submission of responses.
    Type of Review: Extension of a currently approved collection.
    Agency: Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA).
    Title: Gamma Radiation Exposure Records.
    OMB Number: 1219-0039.
    Affected Public: Business or other for-profit.
    Frequency: Annually.
    Number of Respondents: 2.
    Number of Annual Responses: 2.

    Description: Title 30 CFR 57.5047 requires that gamma radiation 
surveys be conducted annually in all underground mines where 
radioactive ores are mined. The Standard also requires, where average 
gamma radiation measurements are in excess of 2.0 milliroentgens per 
hour in the working place, that gamma radiation dosimeters be provided 
for all persons affected, and that records of cumulative individual 
gamma radiation exposure be kept. These recordkeeping requirements are 
necessary to protect miners from adverse health affects resulting from 
occupational exposure to gamma radiation.
