Respondents: The number of respondents increased from 12 to 14. The number of respondents increased due to an increase of affected underground coal mines. Responses: The number of responses increased from 113 to 157 due to the increase in the number of respondents. Burden Hours: The number of burden hours increased from 545 to 658 due to the increases in respondents. Respondents or Recordkeeping Costs: The estimated annual cost decreased from $38,640 to $280 due to changes in cost assumptions by removing sensor purchasing costs. The burden cost decreased because MSHA determined to not include the cost of purchasing carbon monoxide sensors as part of information collection costs.
