Abstract:
Used to establish files of injury and employment data in order to measure the levels of injury experience and identify those areas most in need of improvement. The number of employees, employee hours, and coal mine production (along with injury data) are used for computation of injury rates as well as for analyses of mine industry activity and distribution. Coal production data are used in various analyses from comparative studies to complex modeling.

Short Statement:
There is a slight decrease in the number of respondents (from 26,250 to 22,295) due to fewer mines. However, the number of responses and hours has increased: responses have increased from 133,852 to 139,903 and hours have increased from 105,042 to 270,666. This increase is due to an error made in the last renewal process in calculating the figure for the Nonfatal Accident Investigation hours included in 50.11(b). The figure was lower than should have been provided. In re-evaluating the meaning of the phrases nonfatal accidents and other occurrences, it appears that the most accurate figures are calculated when nonfatal accidents are considered to be incidents in which an injury to an employee occurred but the incident did not cause a fatal injury. The other occurrence category would appear to be an incident which is reportable to MSHA due to a mine hazard without miner injury. The 7000-2 forms are being submitted in larger numbers via e-mail and it has been determined that these documents can be prepared in approximately half the time that it would take to make a manual submission. The hours involved in the investigation process for the 7000-1 form should decrease as should the total preparation time for the 7000-1 form as the numbers of forms submitted decreases. It is not anticipated that the preparation time will decrease for individual respondents as it not predicted that the time involved in an electronic submission will be significantly shorter than a manual submission. There was a decrease of $2,672 (actual) attributed to an increase in the number of electronic and faxed Form 7000-2. The decrease in postage costs could be a cost burden savings to respondents submitting forms via e-mail. The electronic submission of form 7000-1 has been possible only since October of 2003 so the numbers of respondents responding electronically will likely increase in the future.
