Requires records of specific tests and inspections of mine personnel hoisting systems, including wire ropes, to ensure that the system remains safe to operate while in use.
The decrease in burden hours from 67,698 to 6,873 and the decrease in responses from 251,797 to 76,245 is due to recalculation based on the fact that certain testing and measurement requirements are independent from the recordkeeping. That is, an operatorÂs failure to perform the required testing and measurements constitutes independent violations that are citable even if the C.F.R. sections requiring recordkeeping did not exist. The burden of these tasks is not attributable to the recordkeeping requirement.
The number of respondents increased slightly, and as a result, the contractor costs in item 13 increased proportionately.
