SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977, as
amended (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 of Labor (Secretary) to
develop, promulgate, and revise as may
be appropriate, improved mandatory
health or safety standards for the
protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal or other mines.
The Mine Act recognizes that
education and training is an important
element of efforts to make the nation’s
mines safe. Section 115(a) of the Mine
Act states that ‘‘each operator of a coal
or other mine shall have a health and
safety training program which shall be
approved by the Secretary.’’ Title 30
CFR 48.3 and 48.23 require training
plans for underground and surface
mines, respectively. These standards are
intended to ensure that miners will be
effectively trained in matters affecting
their health and safety, with the
ultimate goal of reducing the occurrence
of injury and illness in the nation’s
mines.
Training plans are required to be
submitted for approval to the MSHA
District Manager for the area in which
the mine is located. Plans must contain
the following: (1) Company name; (2)
mine name; (3) MSHA identification
number of the mine; (4) the name and
position of the person designated by the
operator who is responsible for health
and safety training at the mine; (5) a list
of MSHA-approved instructors with
whom the operator proposes to make
