| 00-14075 | Determination of Concentration of Respirable Coal Mine Dust | Proposed Rule | This proposal announces that the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretaries) would find in accordance with sections 101 (30 U.S.C. 811) and 202(f)(2) (30 U.S.C. 842(f)(2)) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) that the average concentration of respirable dust to which each miner in the active workings of a coal mine is exposed can be accurately measured over a single shift. The Secretaries are proposing to rescind a previous 1972 finding, by the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare, on the validity of such single-shift sampling. Today's proposal addresses the final decision and order in NMA v. Secretary of Labor, issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit on September 4, 1998 (153 F. 3d 1264). That case vacated a 1997 Joint Finding and MSHA's proposed policy concerning the use of single, full-shift respirable dust measurements to determine noncompliance when the applicable respirable dust standard was exceeded. The Agencies are also announcing that they will hold public hearings on the joint proposed rule within 45 to 60 days of its publication. The hearings will be held in the following locations: Prestonsburg, Kentucky (Jenny Wiley State Park); Morgantown, West Virginia; and Salt Lake City, Utah. | 2000-07-07 | 2000 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2000/07/07/00-14075/determination-of-concentration-of-respirable-coal-mine-dust | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2000-07-07/pdf/00-14075.pdf | Labor Department; Mine Safety and Health Administration; Health and Human Services Department; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | 271,288,221,44 | This proposal announces that the Secretary of Labor and the Secretary of Health and Human Services (the Secretaries) would find in accordance with sections 101 (30 U.S.C. 811) and 202(f)(2) (30 U.S.C. 842(f)(2)) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health... |
