Short Statement:
Differences in this submission include a decrease in the number of respondents (underground coal mines) from 622 in 2009 to 361 in 2012 and a decrease in the number of miners from 46,626 miners in 2008 to 42,314 miners in 2012. The hour burden certification of each SCSR examination under ยง 75.1714-3(e) was increased significantly from 0.0025 hours (9 seconds) to 0.5 hours (30 minutes), which reflects a more accurate estimate of the time to perform and certify the exam. The number of reportable items increased from 178,880 SCSRs in 2008 to 223,624 SCSRs in 2012 and the number of refuge alternatives increased from 1,168 units in 2008 to 1,715 units in 2012. Online SCSR inventory change submittals have grown and paper-based SCSR inventory change form submittals have decreased to approximately 10% of total submittals. The number of miners requesting copies of their emergency evacuation training certificates has decreased from 25% in 2010 to 5% in 2012. No form answer choices are changed.
