[April 24, 2006 (Volume 71, Number 78)] [Unified Agenda] [Page 22925-22926] Department of Labor (DOL) Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Completed Actions _______________________________________________________________________ 1970. IMPROVING AND ELIMINATING REGULATIONS Priority: Other Significant Legal Authority: 30 USC 811; 30 USC 957 CFR Citation: 30 CFR 1 to 199 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: This rulemaking will revise text in the CFR to reduce burden or duplication, and to streamline requirements. MSHA have reviewed its current regulations and identified provisions that are outdated, redundant, unnecessary, or otherwise require change. MSHA will be making these changes through notice and comment rulemaking where necessary. We will also consider new regulations that reflect ``best practices'' in the mining industry. MSHA views this effort to be evolving and ongoing and will continue to accept recommendations from the public. MSHA published a final rule allowing the use of low-and medium voltage diesel-powered electrical generators as an alternative means of powering electrical equipment.
