WASHINGTON, July 1 -- Mine Safety and Health Administration has issued a proposed rule called: Improving and Eliminating Regulations; Approved Conveyor Belts in Underground Coal Mines.
The proposed rule was published in the Federal Register on July 1 by James P. McHugh, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Policy, Mine Safety and Health Administration.
Summary: MSHA is proposing to revise 30 CFR part 75 by removing outdated requirements for the approval process for conveyor belts used in underground coal mines. These revisions would streamline the current requirements for underground coal operators while maintaining the same level of protections for miners who work with such equipment.
