Title: Underground Coal Mine Ventilation 
Abstract: The final rule would revise certain provisions of MSHA's ventilation standards for underground coal mines. Proper mine ventilation provides basic protection against mine explosions involving methane gas and coal dust and against unhealthy concentrations of airborne contaminants. The application of 3 provisions of the existing rule has been stayed. The final rule would revise the stayed and other provisions to respond to the mining community and improve the protections provided to miners.
