        <RULE_TITLE>Diesel-Powered Equipment for Underground Coal Mines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[The use of diesel-powered equipment in underground coal mines poses a risk of fire or explosion from two sources: internal combustion engines that introduce an ignition source into an environment where methane can be present; and underground handling and storage of diesel fuel. The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) currently has limited approval, safety, and health regulations that address the use of diesel-powered equipment in underground coal mines. In addition, some hazards are currently addressed in the mine ventilation plan. In 1988, a Secretarial advisory committee made recommendations concerning safety and health standards for the use of diesel-powered equipment in underground coal mines. In 1989, MSHA published a proposed rule based on those recommendations. This final rule will address criteria for the approval of diesel equipment and provisions for the safe use of such equipment in underground coal mines.]]></ABSTRACT>
