People have until April 21, 2025, to provide their feedback, and this process is part of a legal requirement to ensure public involvement and transparency. The department wants ideas on everything from the usefulness of this information collection to ways that it could be improved while reducing costs.

    The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is reviewing a request from ICG Beckley, LLC to change a safety regulation. Specifically, they want to use newer, unapproved air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) in certain mining areas where older versions were used but have been discontinued. The petition explains why these new devices are safe and why sticking to the old rule could make things less safe for miners. Comments on this request must be sent to MSHA by April 21, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    ICG Beckley, LLC is asking for permission to use new breathing masks in mines because the older ones are no longer available, but these new masks haven't been approved to be safe by the usual standards, which could make it tricky to ensure everyone's safety.
