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 October 2, 2023.

ADDRESSES: Written comments and recommendations for the proposed 
information collection should be sent within 30 days of publication of

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSHA is required to-issue regulations 
requiring operators to maintain accurate records of employee exposures 
to potentially toxic materials or harmful physical agents which are 
required to be monitored or measured under any applicable mandatory 
health or safety standard promulgated under this Act. Airborne radon 
and radon daughters exist in every uranium mine and in several other 
underground mining commodities. Radon is radioactive gas. It diffuses 
into the underground mine atmosphere through the rock and the ground 
water. Radon decays in a series of steps into other radioactive 
elements, which are solids, called radon daughters. Radon and radon 
daughters are invisible and odorless. Decay of radon and its daughters 
results in emissions of alpha energy. For additional substantive 
information about this ICR, see the related notice published in the 
Federal Register on March 21, 2023 (88 FRN 17020).
    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.
