Minimize the burden of the collection of information on

techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting

Description: Title 30 CFR 57.5047 requires that gamma radiation
surveys be conducted annually in all underground mines where
radioactive ores are mined. The Standard also requires, where average
gamma radiation measurements are in excess of 2.0 milliroentgens per
hour in the working place, that gamma radiation dosimeters be provided
for all persons affected, and that records of cumulative individual
gamma radiation exposure be kept. These recordkeeping requirements are
necessary to protect miners from adverse health affects resulting from
occupational exposure to gamma radiation.
