SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 
(PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520), Federal agencies must obtain approval from 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for each collection of 
information they conduct or sponsor. In addition, the PRA also requires 
Federal agencies to provide a 60-day notice in the Federal Register 
concerning each proposed collection of information, including each new 
proposed collection, each proposed extension of existing collection of 
information, and each reinstatement of previously approved information 
collection before submitting the collection to OMB for approval. To 
comply with this requirement, we are publishing this notice of a 
proposed data collection as described below.
    Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collection of 
information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of 
the agency, including whether the information shall have practical 
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the 
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality, 
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; (d) ways to 
minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents, 
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other 
forms of information technology; and (e) estimates of capital or start-
up costs and costs of operation, maintenance, and purchase of services 
to provide information. Burden means the total time, effort, or 
financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; to develop, acquire, 
install and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; to 
train personnel and to be able to respond to a collection of 
information, to search data sources, to complete and review the 
collection of information; and to transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.

Proposed Project

    Assessing and Evaluating Human Systems Integration Needs in Mining 
(OMB No. 0920-0981, expires 08/31/2015)--Extension--National Institute 
for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention (CDC).

Background and Brief Description

    NIOSH, under Public Law 91-173 as amended by Public Law 95-164 
(Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977), and Public Law 109-236 
(Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006) has the 
responsibility to conduct research to improve working conditions and to 
prevent accidents and occupational diseases in underground coal and 
metal/nonmetal mines in the United States of America. NIOSH proposes to 
request additional time through an extension of the approved OMB 
control number in order to collect assessment and evaluation data.
    The project is aimed at determining the following information with 
regards to the necessary inclusion of Human Systems Integration into 
research related to underground coal mining: (1) What information is 
critical for a miner to safely perform his job, (2) what processes 
(e.g., expertise, decision making, attention, etc.) are necessary for a 
miner to effectively perform his job, and (3) how do the miner and the 
machine interact. In order to accomplish these goals, the following 
data collection instruments are being used:
    The General Preference Questionnaire was designed to determine how 
and when miners working in an underground coal mine prefer to have 
information about their work environment, the location of themselves, 
others, and equipment communicated to them while they are working. This 
questionnaire will be administered to 75 miners working in an 
underground coal mine.
    The Subject Matter Expert (SME) Questionnaire was designed to 
determine how subject matter experts (e.g., experienced continuous 
miner operators) prefer to have information about their work 
environment, the location of themselves, others and equipment 
communicated to them while they are working. The questionnaire will be 
administered to 50 miners working in an underground coal mine in one of 
two positions: Continuous miner operator or fire boss.
    The Safety Director Questionnaire was designed to determine what 
machinery and equipment is currently being used within the underground 
coal mining environment. This questionnaire will be administered to up 
to 50 Safety Directors working at an underground mining operation.
    Vest Usability Testing was designed to examine the effectiveness 
and viability of physically integrating equipment. This will be done by 
asking a group of miners to wear mining vests during their normal work 
hours and complete a questionnaire before and after the vest wearing 
period. Approximately 60 underground coal miners will be asked to take 
part in Vest Usability Testing.
    The Roof Bolter Questionnaire will be used to assess the functional 
lighting needs and problems around roof bolting machines and the 
usability of a lighting feedback system for specific controls. 
Approximately 30 Roof Bolter Operators will be asked to complete the 
Roof Bolter Questionnaire (half before the intervention and half 
after).
    There are no costs to the miners as study participation will take 
place during their normal working hours. Thus, any cost associated with 
the experiment will be incurred by the mining company. The total 
estimated annual burden hours are 442.
