Title: ●Improving and Eliminating Regulations; Installation of Foam Generator Systems in Underground Coal Mines 
Abstract:

The Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) proposes to revise 30 CFR part 75 by removing outdated requirements for fire suppression using automatic foam generator systems in underground coal mines.  Automatic foam generator systems have technical barriers that prevent their use.  These changes will not reduce protections for miners working in underground coal mines.
