Form 7000-2 — Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal
Production
A Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal Production Form (7000-2) must be completed for
those incidents defined as “accidents, occupational injuries,” or “occupational illnesses.”

Regulations
Section 50.30-1 of Part 50, Title 30, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), requires preparing
and filing a report with MSHA for each operator of a mine in which an individual worked during
any day of a calendar quarter. You must complete and mail, fax, or file a Form 7000-2 within 15
days after the end of each calendar quarter.
To minimize the burden of quarterly employment reporting for contractors, each contractor only needs to
complete one Form 7000-2 for all work done on coal properties, and one Form 7000-2 for all work done
on metal/non-metal properties. Each operator of a coal-producing mine and each coal-producing
independent contractor shall also report coal production on Form 7000-2

Penalties for Failure to Report
This report is required by law (30 USC §813; 30 CFR Part 50). Failure to report can result in
civil action for relief under 30 United States Codes (USC) 9818 respecting an operator of a coal
or other mine, and assessment of a civil penalty against an operator of a coal or other mine under
30 USC 9820(a).
An individual subject to the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (30 USC 9801 at
seq.), who knowingly makes a false statement in any report can be punished by a fine of not
more than $10,000 or by imprisonment for not more than five years, or both under 30 USC
§820(f).
Any individual who knowingly and willfully makes a false, fictitious, or fraudulent statement,
conceals a material fact, or makes a false, fictitious, or fraudulent entry with respect to any
matter within the jurisdiction of any agency of the US can be punished by a fine of not more than
$10,000, or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both under 18 USC 91001.
