the mine operator and kept for a period
of one year.
30 CFR 75.1103–8(c) requires that
sensors be calibrated in accordance with
the manufacturer’s calibration
instructions at intervals not to exceed 31
days. Records of the sensor calibrations

instruction that addresses all mine
emergencies created as a result of a fire,
an explosion, or a gas or water
inundation. In addition, this section

Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 86 / Friday, May 3, 2019 / Notices
I. Background
A number of potential hazards can
exist at surface coal mines and facilities.
Highwalls, mining equipment,
travelways, and the handling of mining
materials each present potentially
hazardous conditions.
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes MSHA
to collect information necessary to carry
out its duty in protecting the safety and
health of miners. Further Section 101(a)
of the Mine Act 30 U.S.C. 811
authorizes the Secretary to develop,
promulgate, and revise as may be
appropriate, improved mandatory
health and safety for the protection of
life and prevention of injuries in coal or
other mines. 30 U.S.C. 811(a).
Section 77.1713, Title 30 of the Code
of Federal Regulations requires coal
mine operators to conduct examinations
of each active working area of surface
mines, active surface installations at
these mines, facilities and preparation
plants not associated with underground
coal mines for hazardous conditions
during each shift. A report of hazardous
conditions detected must be entered
into a record book along with a
description of any corrective actions
taken. By conducting an on shift
examination for hazardous conditions,
mine operators can better ensure a safe
working environment for the miners and
a reduction in accidents.
