    The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission is extending the comment period and delaying the implementation of a final rule that revises its procedural rules. Originally published on January 17, 2025, the effective date of these changes is pushed to April 7, 2025. Comments on the rule will be accepted until March 21, 2025. This extension allows more time for feedback on changes set out in 29 CFR part 2700.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of making sure mining is safe are changing some rules, but they are giving everyone more time to think about these changes and share their thoughts. Now, everyone has until March 21 to say what they think, and the new rules won't start until April 7.

    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 5610
    Reading Time:about 88 minutes

    The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission has finalized revisions to its procedural rules to ensure that legal proceedings are fair, fast, and inexpensive. These revisions include updates to the Commission's electronic filing system, adopting gender-neutral language, and aligning with the American Bar Association's Model Rules of Professional Conduct. The changes aim to clarify procedures, improve consistency, and promote greater efficiency in handling cases. The new rules will apply beginning March 3, 2025, and will affect both new cases and ongoing proceedings, except where applying them would be unfair or impossible.

    Simple Explanation

    The people in charge of making rules for keeping miners safe decided to change some of their rules to make things happen faster and cost less money. They made changes like using more friendly words and using computers to do paperwork.
