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.
