        Subpart D_Quarterly Employment and Coal Production Report

 

Sec.  50.30-1  General instructions for completing MSHA Form 7000-2.



    (a) MSHA I.D. Number is the 7-digit number assigned to the mine 

operation by MSHA. Any questions regarding the appropriate I.D. number 

to use should be directed to your local MSHA District Office.

    (b) Calendar Quarter: First quarter is January, February, and March. 

Second quarter is April, May, and June. Third quarter is July, August, 

and September. Fourth quarter is October, November, and December.

    (c) County is the name of the county, borough, or independent city 

in which the operation is located.

    (d) Operation Name is the specific name of the mine or plant to 

which the MSHA I.D. number was assigned and for which the quarterly 

employment report is being submitted.

    (e) Company Name is the name of the operating company that this 

report pertains to.

    (f) Mailing Address is the address of the mine office where the 

quarterly employment report is to be retained. This should be as near 

the operation as possible.

    (g) Employment, Employee Hours, and Coal Production--(1) Operation 

Sub-Unit: (i) Underground Mine: Report data for your underground workers 

on the first line. If you have personnel working at the surface of your 

underground mine, report data for those persons on the second line;

    (ii) Surface Mine (Including Shops and Yards): Report on the 

appropriate line, employment and coal production for the mining 

operation. For surface mining sub-units 03, 04, 05 and 06, include all 

work associated with shops and yards;

    (iii) Mill Operations, Preparation Plants, Breakers: Report data on 

all persons employed at your milling (crushing, sizing, grinding, 

concentrating, etc.) operation, preparation plant, or breaker, including 

those working in associated shops and yards. (Do not include personnel 

reported in



[[Page 261]]



shops and yards associated with other sub-units.);

    (iv) Office: Include in this category employees who work principally 

at the mine or preparation facility office.

    (2) Average number of persons working during quarter: Show the 

average number of employees on the payroll during all active periods in 

the quarter. Include all classes of employees (supervisory, 

professional, technical proprietors, owners, operators, partners, and 

service personnel) on your payroll, full or part-time, Report Each 

Employee Under One Activity Only. For example: If one or more persons 

work both in the mine and the mill, report these employees under the 

activity where they spend most of their time. If necessary, estimate for 

the major activity. The average number may be computed by adding 

together the number of employees working during each pay period and then 

dividing by the number of pay periods. Do not include pay periods where 

no one worked. For example, during the quarter you had 5 pay periods 

where employees worked. The number of employees in each pay period was 

10, 12, 13, 14 and 15 respectively. To compute the average, add the 

number of employees working each pay period (10+12+13+14+15=64). Then 

divide by the number of pay periods (64 divided by 5=12.8). Rounding 

this to the nearest whole number, we get 13 as the average number of 

persons working.

    (3) Total employee-hours worked during the quarter: Show the total 

hours worked by all employees during the quarter covered. Include all 

time where the employee was actually on duty, but exclude vacation, 

holiday, sick leave, and all other off-duty time, even though paid for. 

Make certain that each overtime hour is reported as one hour, and not as 

the overtime pay multiple for an hour of work. The hours reported should 

be obtained from payroll or other time records. If actual hours are not 

available, they may be estimated on the basis of scheduled hours. Make 

certain not to include hours paid but not worked.

    (4) Production of clean coal (short tons): This section is to be 

compiled only by operators of underground or surface mines, but not by 

operators of central or independent coal preparation plants or operators 

of metal or nonmetal mines. Enter the total production of clean coal 

from the mine. This must include coal shipped from the mine and coal 

used for fuel at the mine, but exclude refuse and coal produced at 

another mine and purchased for use at the mine.

    (h) Other Reportable Data. Indicate the number of reportable 

injuries or illnesses occurring at your operation during the quarter 

covered by this report. Show the name, title, and telephone number of 

the person to be contacted regarding this report, and show the date that 

this report was completed.
