Terms of Clearance: We have approved this collection of information for one year from the date of submission. Although MSHA has withdrawn its Part 50 rulemaking initiative, MSHA has agreed to investigate the option of allowing mine operators to submit this form electronically. While electronic filing would not affect the data elements on the form, it may reduce the burden associated with maintaining and transmitting this information to MSHA. MSHA shall report its finding regarding the electronic filing of the 7000-1 when it next submits this package for OMB review. In addition, since the OSHA/BLS redesign of its injury and illness database is likely to affect MSHA's database (and therefore this collection), MSHA should work with OSHA and BLS to ensure that its concerns, such as the definition of illnesses, are taken into consideration. To facilitate this discussion, OMB plans to hold an interagency meeting with BLS, OSHA, and MSHA in September.
