        <RULE_TITLE>Coal Mine Respirable Dust (CPDMs)</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[On June 24, 2003, MSHA announced that all work on its Plan Verification and Single-Sample Respirable Coal Mine Dust final rules would cease and the rulemaking record would remain open in order to obtain information concerning Continuous Personal Dust Monitors (CPDMs) is being tested by NIOSH.  A Federal Register notice was published on July 3, 2003, extending the comment periods indefinitely.  NIOSH issued a report on the CPDM in September 2006, and another report concerning test results in June 2007.  MSHA will solicit public input on potential applications of this new monitoring technology in coal mines.  MSHA will also solicit comment on whether the exposure limit for respirable coal mine dust be lower and, if so, how should it be lowered.]]></ABSTRACT>
