Certificate of Electrical Training and Applications for Mine Safety and Health Administration Approved Tests and State Tests Administered as Part of a Mine Safety and Health Admin. Approved Program
MSHA's Form 5000-1, "Certificate of Electrical Training," is required to be used by instructors for reporting to MSHA the qualification of those persons who have satisfactorily completed a coal mine electrical training program course. The Agency is also requesting approval for applications for MSHA approved tests and for State tests that are administered as part of an MSHA-approved State program.
Cost to Respondents: Although wages and postage rates have increased since Fiscal Year 2009, the ability to submit evidence of this training electronically has resulted in a decrease in the annual cost burden described in Item 13 ($28,852 to $731).
Burden hours: There was an increase in burden hours (890 to 995). This increase relates to the requirement that new applicants submit evidence of one year of experience in performing electrical work which added 100 burden hours.
Respondents: There was a decrease related to how respondents were counted. Previously each course was counted as both a response and a respondent. There are not as many instructors as there are responses. Also additional respondents were added to account for the evidence of eligibility requirement.
Responses: There was a decrease in responses from 2,796 to 2,350 due to a decrease in the estimate of MSHA Form 5000-1's that are filled out.
