MSHA Extends Comment Period for Proposed Rule on Lowering Miners' Exposure to Respirable Coal Mine Dust

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is extending the comment period for a proposed rule on reducing coal miners' exposure to respirable coal mine dust, including the use of continuous personal dust monitors, in response to requests from interested parties. The comment period was previously set to expire on a specific date, but has now been extended to give commenters more time to review and comment on the proposal.
