Requires metal and nonmetal mine
operators to (1) establish written standard operating procedures
governing the selection, maintenance, and use of respirators, and
(2) to keep records of the results of respirator-fitting
tests.
The number of mines has
decreased slightly, resulting in a decrease of responses (5,530 to
5,400), respondents (from 310 to 300) and burden hours (from 2,235
to 2,174). The decrease in burden cost (from $156,350 to $90,000)
is a result of reevaluating the previous submission which included
all respirators purchased by miners. This collection correctly
identifies only that equipment required to perform the fit test of
the respirators.
