Title: ●X-Ray Surveillance Program for Surface Coal Miners 
Abstract: In 1996 the Secretary of Labor appointed an Advisory Committee to make recommendations on ways to eliminate Black Lung and Silicosis among coal miners. The Advisory Committee voted unanimously to extend the x-ray medical surveillance program currently offered to underground coal miners to surface coal miners. Based on this recommendation and the recommendation of a NIOSH criteria document issued in 1995, the proposed rule would establish new requirements under 30 CFR part 72 to include surface coal miners in the x-ray medical surveillance program.
