[December 22, 2003 (Volume 68, Number 245)] [Unified Agenda] [Page 73213] Department of Labor (DOL) (Proposed Rule Stage) Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) _______________________________________________________________________ 2082. IMPROVING AND ELIMINATING REGULATIONS Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant 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. We have reviewed our current regulations and identified provisions that are outdated, redundant, unnecessary, or otherwise require change. We 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. We view this effort to be evolving and ongoing and will continue to accept recommendations from the public. MSHA will propose a rule addressing issues related to portable diesel generators.
