Requirements for Approval of Flame-Resistant Conveyor Belts

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is reopening the rulemaking record on proposed revisions to requirements for approval of flame-resistant conveyor belts for use in underground mines. Subsequent to the record closing on the conveyor belt proposal, MSHA published another proposed rule which would allow independent laboratories to test and evaluate certain products MSHA approves for use in underground mines. To allow comment on the applicability of the independent laboratory proposal to conveyor belt testing, submission of new relevant data, or updating of comments previously submitted, the Agency is reopening the rulemaking record on the conveyor belt proposal and scheduling a public hearing.
