Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The burden hour increase of 160 hours (from 1,300 hours to 1,460 hours) is due to additional new underground coal mine openings and as a result, an increased number of shaft and slope projects. MSHA records show that there were more shafts and slopes under construction during the year 2009 than in 2006. There is also a slight cost burden increase (from $1,061 to $1,272) resulting from an increase in the number of shaft and slope plans submitted for facilities under construction.
