Abstract: MSHA will use a process that includes a written cleanup program for each mine that will be maintained in the underground mine file at the appropriate District Office. This cleanup program will be used as a tool to help abate significant or persistent problems. This tool will give the Agency leverage in abating violations by including cleanup program revisions to address hazards detected in the mine. Mine operators will need to show compliance in order to abate violations.
