SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes the
Mine Safety and Health Administration
(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 and metal and nonmetal
mines.
MSHA works to prevent death,
illness, and injury from mining and to
promote safe and healthful workplaces
for U.S. miners. Section 115 of the Mine
Act, as amended, requires mine
operators to have a health and safety
training program. Under section 503 of
the Mine Act, as amended, the Secretary
may award grants to States to assist in
developing and enforcing State mining
laws and regulations, to improve State
workers’ compensation and mining
occupational disease laws and
programs, and to improve safety and
health conditions in the Nation’s mines
through Federal-State coordination and
cooperation.
Grantees are required by U.S.
Department of Labor (DOL) regulations
to submit project and final reports.
Grantees are also required to submit
final reports no later than 90 days after
the end of the grant period.
Technical Project Reports: A grantee
submits a technical project report to
MSHA no later than 30 days after
quarterly deadlines. Technical project
reports provide both quantitative and
qualitative information and a narrative
assessment of performance for the
preceding 3-month period. This
includes a comparison of the current
grant progress against the overall grant
goals. Between reporting dates, the
grantee informs MSHA of significant
developments or problems affecting the
organization’s ability to accomplish the
work.
Final Reports: At the end of the grant
period, each grantee provides a project
summary of its technical project reports,
an evaluation report, and a close-out
financial report. These final reports are
due no later than 90 days after the end
of the 12-month performance period.
