include: Mining and operating
procedures designed to reduce the
occurrence of rock bursts; monitoring
procedures where detection methods are
used; and other measures to minimize
exposure of persons to areas prone to
rock bursts. Plans are also required to be
updated as conditions warrant and to be
made available to MSHA inspectors and
to miners or their representatives. The
standard does not require that all
underground metal and nonmetal mines
develop these preventative measures,
but it does require that all mines with
a rock burst history develop and
implement a rock burst control plan.
When rock bursts occur in an
underground mine, they pose a serious
threat to the safety of miners in the area
affected by the burst. These bursts may
reasonably be expected to result in the
entrapment of miners, death, and
serious physical harm. Recent mining
technology of monitoring rock stresses
allows for the prediction of an
oncoming burst. These predictions can
be used by the mine operator to move
miners to safer locations and to
establish areas which need relief
drilling.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Rock Burst Control
Plan, (Pertains to Underground Metal/
Nonmetal Mines). MSHA is particularly
interested in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
Agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
• Suggest methods to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
The information collection request
will be available on http://
www.regulations.gov. MSHA cautions
the commenter against providing any
information in the submission that
should not be publicly disclosed. Full
comments, including personal
information provided, will be made
available on www.regulations.gov and
www.reginfo.gov.

I. Background
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes
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, authorizes the Secretary of Labor 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 and metal and nonmetal
mines.
Title 30 CFR 56.19057 and 57.19057
require the examination and
certification of hoist operators’ physical
fitness by a qualified, licensed
physician, within 12 months preceding
hoisting duties. The safety of all metal
and nonmetal miners riding hoist
conveyances is largely dependent upon
the attentiveness and physical
capabilities of the hoist operator.
Improper movements, overspeed, and
overtravel of a hoisting conveyance can
result in serious physical harm or death
to passengers.
