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

E:\FR\FM\29OCN1.SGM

29OCN1

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 210 / Thursday, October 29, 2020 / Notices
arrangements to teach the courses and
the courses each instructor is qualified
to teach; (6) the location where training
will be given for each course; (7) a
description of the teaching methods and
the course materials which are to be
used in training; (8) the approximate
number of miners employed at the mine
and the maximum number who will
attend each session of training; (9) the
predicted time or periods of time when
regularly scheduled refresher training
will be given including the titles of
courses to be taught; (10) the total
number of instruction hours for each
course; and (11) the predicted time and
length of each session of training for
new task training including a complete
list of task assignments, the titles of
personnel conducting the training, the
outline of training procedures used, and
the evaluation procedures used to
determine the effectiveness of the
training.
Title 30 CFR 48.9 and 48.29 require
records of training for underground and
surface mines, respectively. Upon
completion of each training program,
the mine operator certifies on a form
approved by the Secretary, MSHA Form
5000–23, Certificate of Training, that the
miner has received the specified
training in each subject area of the
approved health and safety training
plan.
The Certificate of Training forms are
to be maintained by the operator for a
period of 2 years for current employees
and for 60 days after termination of a
miner’s employment, and must be
available for inspection at the mine site.
In addition, the miner is entitled to a
copy of the certificate upon completion
of the training and when the miner
leaves the operator’s employment.
