Verification of Underground Coal Mine Operators' Dust Control Plans and Compliance Sampling for Respirable Dust

This document extends the comment period for Verification of Underground Coal Mine Operators' Dust Control Plans and Compliance Sampling for Respirable Dust (Plan Verification), published in the Federal Register on March 6, 2003 as a proposed rule. The comment period was scheduled to close on July 3, 2003, but will now remain open until further notice is published in the Federal Register. MSHA has decided to extend the comment period in order to obtain further information on Personal Dust Monitors (PDMs), a new technology which is currently being tested by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). All comments received will be entered into the rulemaking.
