SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This ICR seeks to extend PRA authority for 
the Examinations and Testing of Electrical Equipment, Including 
Examination, Testing, and Maintenance of High Voltage Longwalls 
information collection. MSHA regulations require records to be kept on 
the examination, testing, calibration, and maintenance of covered 
atmospheric monitoring systems, electric equipment, grounding off-track 
direct-current machines and enclosures of related detached components, 
circuit breakers, electrical work, and devices for overcurrent 
protection. The records are intended to verify that examinations and 
tests were conducted and give insight into the hazardous conditions 
that have been encountered and those that may be encountered. These 
records greatly assist those who use them in making decisions during 
accident investigations to establish root causes and to prevent

similar occurrences. These decisions will ultimately affect the safety 
and health of miners. Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 
sections 101(a) and 103(h) authorize this information collection. See 
30 U.S.C. 811(a), 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 1219-0116.
    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 October 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 June 16, 2017 (82 FR 
27728).
    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 1219-0116. 
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.
