(ICR) titled, ``Hazardous Condition Complaints,'' to the Office of

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Hazardous Conditions Complaints information collection. Federal 
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, as amended (Mine Act) section 
103(g)--30 U.S.C. 813(g)--provides that a representative of miners, or 
any individual miner where there is no representative of miners, may 
submit to the MSHA a written or oral notification of an alleged Mine 
Act or mandatory health or safety standard violation or of an imminent 
danger. The person making the notification also has the right to obtain 
an immediate MSHA inspection. A copy of the notice must be provided to 
the operator, with individual miner names redacted. Regulations 30 CFR 
part 43 implements Mine Act section 103(g). These regulations provide 
the procedures for submitting a complaint and the actions the MSHA must 
take after receiving the notice. Mine Act sections 101(a) and 103(h) 
authorize this information collection. See 30 U.S.C. 811(a) and 813(h).
    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 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 1219-0014.
    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 December 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 June 30, 2016 (81 FR 
42733).
    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 1219-0014. 
The OMB is particularly interested in comments that:
     Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the

[[Page 73142]]

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.
