SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:  This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Mine Rescue Teams, Arrangements for Emergency Medical Assistance, 
and Arrangements for Transportation for Injured Persons information 
collection requirements codified in regulations 30 CFR part 49 
regarding the availability of mine rescue teams, alternate mine rescue 
capability for small and remote mines and mines with special mining 
conditions, inspection and maintenance records of mine rescue equipment 
and apparatus, physical requirements for team members and alternates, 
and experience and training requirements for team members. Federal Mine 
Safety and Health Act of 1977 sections 101(a), 103(h), and 115(e) 
authorize this information collection. See 30 U.S.C. 8117(a), 813(h), 
and 825(e).
    This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency 
generally

[[Page 14894]]

cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public 
is generally not required to respond to an information collection, 
unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA 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 Control Number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL 
obtains OMB approval for this information collection under Control 
Number 1219-0078.
    OMB authorization for an ICR cannot be for more than three (3) 
years without renewal, and the current approval for this collection is 
scheduled to expire on March 31, 2016. The DOL seeks to extend PRA 
authorization for this information collection for three (3) more years, 
without any change to existing requirements. The DOL notes that 
existing information collection requirements submitted to the OMB 
receive a month-to-month extension while they undergo review. For 
additional substantive information about this ICR, see the related 
notice published in the Federal Register on September 23, 2015 (80 FR 
57398).
    Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, 
Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs at the address shown in 
the ADDRESSES section within thirty (30) days of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register. In order to help ensure appropriate 
consideration, comments should mention OMB Control Number 1219-0078. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
     Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the 
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.
    Agency: DOL-MSHA.
    Title of Collection: Mine Rescue Teams; Arrangements for Emergency 
Medical Assistance; and Arrangements for Transportation for Injured
