SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES
A. Legal Authority
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), as amended, 30 U.S.C. 813(h),
authorizes the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA) to collect
information necessary to carry out its
duty in protecting the safety and health
of miners. Further, section 101(a) of the
Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811(a), authorizes
the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) to
develop, promulgate, and revise, as may
be appropriate, improved mandatory
health or safety standards for the
protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal, metal, and nonmetal
mines.
The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA) governs paperwork burdens
imposed on the public by Federal
agencies for using identical questions to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
17:25 Jul 02, 2025
Jkt 265001
collect information from 10 or more
persons. The PRA defines paperwork
burden in 44 U.S.C. 3502(2) as time,
effort, or financial resources expended
to generate, maintain, or provide
information to or for a Federal agency.
Under 44 U.S.C. 3507, the PRA also
establishes policies and procedures of
information collection for controlling
paperwork burdens imposed by Federal
agencies on the public, including
evaluating public comments.
B. Information Collection
To fulfill its statutory mandates to
promote miners’ health and safety,
MSHA requires the information
collected under the information
collection request (ICR) titled
‘‘Operations Mining Under a Body of
Water.’’ This information collection is
intended to ensure that underground
coal mine operators apply for a permit
before mining under bodies of water.
MSHA reviews mine operators’
applications and issues permits to
protect miners from hazards such as
flooding, cave-ins, and drowning.
Burden Costs Associated With This
ICR Include:
1. Mine operators preparing and
submitting applications for permits to
work under a body of water; and
2. MSHA reviewing applications and
issuing permits to work under a body of
water.
Authorization and the associated rule
text are described below.
1. Mine Operators Preparing and
Submitting Applications for Permits To
Work Under a Body of Water (30 CFR
75.1716–1, 75.1716–2, and 75.1716–3)
Under 30 CFR 75.1716–1, whenever
an operator plans to mine coal from a
coal mine opened after March 30, 1970,
or from any working section in a mine
opened prior to such date, and in such
manner that mining operations will be
conducted, or tunnels constructed,
under any river, stream, lake, or other
body of water, the coal mine operator
must give notice to the District Manager
prior to the commencement of coal
mining operations.
Under 30 CFR 75.1716–2, if in the
judgment of the District Manager the
proposed mining operations constitute a
hazard to miners, the District Manager
must promptly notify the operator that
a permit is required.
Under 30 CFR 75.1716–3, an
application for a permit must be filed
with the District Manager and must
contain the following general
information:
(a) Name and address of the company.
(b) Name and address of the mine.
PO 00000
Frm 00067

(c) Projected mining and ground
support plans.
(d) A mine map showing the location
of the river, stream, lake, or other body
of water and its relation to the location
of all working places.
(e) A profile map showing the type of
strata and the distance in elevation
between the coal bed and the river,
stream, lake or other body of water
involved. The type of strata will be
determined by core test drill holes as
prescribed by the District Manager.
2. MSHA Reviewing Applications and
Issuing Permits To Work Under a Body
of Water (30 CFR 75.1716–4)
Under 30 CFR 75.1716–4, if the
District Manager determines that the
proposed mining operations under
water can be safely conducted, the
District Manager must issue a permit for
conducting the proposed mining
operations under the terms and
conditions deemed necessary to protect
the safety of miners engaged in
operations.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
