The information collections associated with OMB Control Number 1219-0040 support the appropriate assessment of fines for violations by independent contractors and the deterrent effect of MSHA enforcement actions on independent contractors.

Short Statement:
Discretionary changes simple amount to disaggregating burden according to obligation to respond. Respondents: There has been a decrease in respondents of 1,536 (from 17,145 to 15,609). This is due to a decrease in the number of coal and Metal/Non-Metal mines and a decrease in the number of contractors requesting an ID. Responses: There has been an increase in responses of 5,539 (from 96,109 to 101,702). While, there was a decrease in the number of IDs issued due to the decrease in respondents, MSHA has separately counted responses under § 45.4, in order to present a more accurate reflect ion of the information collection activity. Hours: There has been an decrease of 11,304 hours (20,549 to 9,245). The decrease is due largely to the correction of a calculation error in § 45.4(b) from the previous update. Previously MSHA had calculated that each record received by the mine operator would take 8 minutes to maintain instead of a total of 8 minutes to maintain all records received under §45.4(b). Costs: There has been an increase of $25 (from $ 520 to $ 545). This increase is due to a slight increase in the cost of postage.
