I. Background
Section 115(e) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) requires the Secretary of Labor to
publish regulations which provide that
mine rescue teams be available for
rescue and recovery work to each
underground mine in the event of an
emergency. In addition, the costs of
making advance arrangements for such
teams are to be borne by the operator of
each such mine.
Under 30 CFR part 49 subpart A,
Mine Rescue Teams for Underground
Metal and Nonmetal Mines, requires
every operator of an underground mine
to assure the availability of mine rescue
capability for purposes of emergency
rescue and recovery. This collection of
information relates to the availability of
mine rescue teams; alternate mine
rescue capability for small and remote
mines and mines with special mining
conditions; inspection and maintenance
records of mine rescue equipment and
apparatus; physical requirements for
team members and alternates; and
experience and training requirements
for team members and alternates.
