| E8-30639 | Flame-Resistant Conveyor Belt, Fire Prevention and Detection, and Use of Air From the Belt Entry | Rule | This final rule addresses the recommendations of the Technical Study Panel (Panel) on the Utilization of Belt Air and the Composition and Fire Retardant Properties of Belt Materials in Underground Coal Mining. The Panel was established under Section 11 of the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response (MINER) Act of 2006. The final rule is consistent with the Panel's recommendations and includes requirements for: Flame-resistant conveyor belts; training Atmospheric Monitoring System operators; levels of respirable dust in belt entries; airlocks along escapeways; minimum and maximum air velocities; approval for the use of air from the belt entry to ventilate working sections; monitoring point-feed regulators; smoke sensors; standardized tactile signals on lifelines; replacing point-type heat sensors with carbon monoxide sensors; and belt conveyor and belt entry maintenance. | 2008-12-31 | 2008 | 12 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2008/12/31/E8-30639/flame-resistant-conveyor-belt-fire-prevention-and-detection-and-use-of-air-from-the-belt-entry | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2008-12-31/pdf/E8-30639.pdf | Labor Department; Mine Safety and Health Administration | 271,288 | This final rule addresses the recommendations of the Technical Study Panel (Panel) on the Utilization of Belt Air and the Composition and Fire Retardant Properties of Belt Materials in Underground Coal Mining.
