        <RULE_TITLE>Training and Retraining of Miners Engaged in Shell Dredging or Employed at Sand, Gravel, Surface Stone, Surface Clay, Colloidal Phosphate, or Surface Limestone Mines</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Congress included language in our Fiscal Year 1999 appropriation that requires us to promulgate training regulations for the following industries: shell dredging, sand, gravel, surface stone, surface clay, colloidal phosphate and surface limestone mines.  These industries have been exempted by Congressional action since 1980 from our enforcement of the training requirements contained in Agency regulations (found at 30 CFR part 48).  Fatalities over the last several years have increased steadily in these industries.  Our data show that the majority of victims at these exempted industries did not receive safety and health training.  The final rule implements training requirements for these previously exempted industries.]]></ABSTRACT>
