MINE SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION
30 CFR Part 3
OMB Control Numbers Under the Paperwork Reduction Act
AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Final rule; technical amendment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is amending
its regulations to display the control number approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for information collection required in the
final rule for the Approval, Exhaust Gas Monitoring, and Safety
Requirements for the Use of Diesel-Powered Equipment in Underground
Coal Mines. The Paperwork Reduction Act requires agencies to display
OMB control numbers for information collections. This notice fulfills
MSHA's obligation.
EFFECTIVE DATE: March 24, 1997.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patricia W. Silvey , Director, Office
of Standards, Regulations, and Variances, Mine Safety and Health
Administration, 4015 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, VA 22203-1984; 703-
235-1910 (voice); psilvey@msha.gov (internet e-mail); or 703-235-5551
(facsimile).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MSHA published a final rule presenting the
OMB control numbers in a new table format which was codified in 30 CFR
Part 3 on June 29, 1995 (60 FR 33719). This fulfilled the requirements
of 44 U.S.C. 3507(f) of the Paperwork Reduction Act which prohibits an
agency from engaging in a collection of information without displaying
the control number obtained from OMB. The table lists the part and
section numbers with information collection requirements and the
corresponding OMB control numbers.
MSHA submitted new information collection requirements contained in
parts 7 and 75 of the final rule on the approval, exhaust gas
monitoring, and safety requirements for the use of diesel-powered
equipment in underground coal mines for OMB review on October 22, 1996.
The final rule was published on October 25, 1996. OMB approved the
paperwork requirements under control number 1219-0119 on November 26,
1996.
MSHA has determined that public notice and comment is unnecessary
in this technical amendment to rulemaking. Information collection
requirements go through the public review process as part of the rule
to which it applies. Likewise, the renewal of an OMB control number
also requires public review. As a result, MSHA finds that there is
``good cause'' under 5 U.S.C., 553 (b)(B) of the Administrative
Procedure Act (APA) to issue this amendment to Table 1 in 30 CFR Part 3
without prior public notice and comment. MSHA has determined there is
no need to delay the effective date because the technical amendment
contains no new requirements for which the public would need time to
plan compliance beyond that provided for in the regulation itself. MSHA
finds, therefore, that there is ``good cause'' to except this action
from the 30-day delayed effective date requirement under 5 U.S.C. 553
(d)(3) of the APA.
