Proposed Extension of Information Collection: Representative of Miners, Notification of Legal Identity, and Notification of Commencement of Operations and Closing of Mines
§ 01 Summary
MSHA is seeking public comment under the Paperwork Reduction Act on extending an existing information collection covering representative-of-miners designations, mine operator legal identity notices, and notices of mine commencement or closure. The notice does not create new substantive mine-safety requirements; it is a preclearance step for continuing existing reporting collections.
§ 02 Why this matters
The notice only solicits comments on renewal of an existing OMB-approved information collection and does not amend the underlying MSHA reporting obligations. Compliance duties to notify MSHA of legal identity, mine openings/closings, and miners' representatives remain based on existing regulations, not this notice.
