The Department's regulations at 30 CFR
57.5047 require that records to be kept of cumulative individual
gamma radiation exposure to ensure that annual exposure does not
exceed 5 Rems per year. It is intended to protect the health of
workers in mines with radioactive ores.
Due to the increased demand for
uranium in the marketplace, other uranium mines were opened and
began operation, which resulted in an increase in employment and
production. The number of respondents increased to 4 mines and the
number of burden hours increased from 3 hours to 8 hours due to the
slight increase in size and complexity of the surveys since the
last approved submission.
