DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Mine Safety and Health Administration

RIN 1219-AB73


Pattern of Violations

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health Administration, Labor.

ACTION: Notice of OMB approval of information collection requirements.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requires this notice to set 
forth the effectiveness of information collection requirements 
contained in the final rule on Pattern of Violations.

DATES: The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) authorization for this 
information collection expires on February 29, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George F. Triebsch, Director, Office 
of Standards, Regulations, and Variances, MSHA, 1100 Wilson Boulevard, 
Room 2350, Arlington, Virginia 22209-3939, [email protected] 
(email), 202-693-9440 (voice), or 202-693-9441 (facsimile).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 8, 2013, the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) approved, under Control Number 1219-0150, 
the Department of Labor's information collection request under the PRA 
for provisions associated with 30 CFR 104.2(a) for the final rule 
published in the Federal Register on January 23, 2013 (78 FR 5055). The 
final rule revised the Agency's existing regulation for pattern of 
violations. The effective date of the final rule is March 25, 2013.
    Under the PRA, an agency may not conduct an information collection 
unless it has a currently valid OMB approval. OMB had not provided a 
PRA-required approval for the revised information collection provisions 
associated with 30 CFR 104.2(a) at the time the final rule was 
published (44 U.S.C. 3507(a)(2)). Therefore, in accordance with the 
PRA, the effective date of the information collection provisions 
associated with the revised rule was delayed until OMB approved the 
collection (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(1)(B)(iii)(V)) on February 8, 2013. This 
OMB authorization expires on February 29, 2016.

    Dated: February 13, 2013.
George F. Triebsch,
Certifying Officer.
