SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 1, 2014, MSHA published a final rule
that revised the Agency's existing regulation for Lowering Miners'
Exposure to Coal Mine Dust Including Continuous Personal Dust Monitors
in the Federal Register (79 FR 24814). 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 if the collection of
information does not display a valid OMB control number. See 5 CFR
1320.5(a) and 1320.6. Under the PRA, an agency may not conduct an
information collection unless it has a

collection request for the final rule to OMB for approval in accordance
with the PRA. In accordance with the PRA, the effective date of the
