SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Application for Waiver of Surface Sanitary Facilities Requirements 
(Pertaining to Coal Mines) information collection requirements codified 
in regulations 30 CFR 71.403, 71.404, 75.1712-4, and 75.1712-5. MSHA 
regulations require a covered coal mine operator to provide bathing 
facilities, clothing change rooms, and sanitary flush toilet facilities 
in a location that is convenient for use of the miners. See CFR 71.400 
through 71.402 and 75.1712-1 through .1712-3. The regulations allow an 
operator that is unable to meet any or all of the requirements to apply 
for a waiver. See 30 CFR 71.403, 71.404, 75.1712-4, and 75.1712-5. The 
coal mine operator files the application with the MSHA District Manager 
for the district in which the mine is located. The application must 
contain the name and address of the mine operator, name and location of 
the mine, and a detailed statement of the grounds on which the waiver 
is requested. At the same time the application is sent to the MSHA 
District Manager, the operator must forward a copy to the appropriate 
Regional Program Director, National Institute for Occupational Safety 
and Health, and a post copy showing the addresses of the appropriate 
District Manager and Regional Program Director for at least

thirty (30) days on the mine bulletin board. Federal Mine Safety and 
Health Act of 1977 sections 101(a) and 103(h) authorize this 
information collection. See 30 U.S.C. 801(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 1219-0024.
    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 May 31, 2017. 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 November 28, 2016 (81 FR 
85643).
    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 1219-0024. 
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.
