be collected; and
    (4) 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.

    Description: The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing 
effort to reduce paperwork and respondent burden conducts a pre-
clearance consultation program to provide the general public and 
Federal agencies with an opportunity to comment on proposed and/or 
continuing collections of information in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995(PRA95) [44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)]. This program 
helps to ensure that requested data can be provided in the desired 
format, reporting burden (time and financial resources) is minimized, 
collection instruments are clearly understood, and the impact of 
collection requirements on respondents can be properly assessed. 
Currently, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is 
soliciting comments concerning the extension of the information 
collection related to the 30 CFR 75.310, 75.312, 75.342, 75.351, 
75.360, 75.361, 75.362, 75.363, 75.364, 75.370, 75.371, and 75.382. For 
additional information, see related notice published in the Federal 
Register on January 12, 2010, (Vol. 75 page 1655).

    Dated: July 9, 2010.
