DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Mine Safety and Health Administration
Fee Adjustments for Testing, Evaluation, and Approval of Mining
Products
AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health Administration, Labor.
ACTION: Notice of fee adjustments.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This notice revises the Mine Safety and Health
Administration's (MSHA) user fees for testing, evaluation, and approval
of certain products manufactured for use in underground mines. These
fees are based on fiscal year 1994 data and reflect changes in approval
processing operations as well as costs incurred to process approval
actions.
DATES: These fee schedules are effective from January 1, 1995 through
December 31, 1995. Approval applications postmarked before January 1,
1995 will be chargeable under the fee schedules as published on
December 29, 1993.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Peter M. Turcic, Chief, Approval and Certification Center, R.R. 1, Box
251, Triadelphia, West Virginia 26059.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In general, MSHA has computed the revised
fees based on the cost to the government to provide testing,
evaluation, and approval of products manufactured for use in
underground mines. On May 8, 1987 (52 FR 17506), MSHA published a final
rule, 30 CFR Part 5--Fees for Testing, Evaluation, and Approval of
Mining Products, which established the specific procedures for fee
calculation, administration, and revisions. This revised fee schedule
is established in accordance with the procedures of that rule.
Dated: December 5, 1994.
J. Davitt McAteer,
Assistant Secretary, Mine Safety and Health.
Fee Schedule Effective January 1, 1995
[Based on fiscal year 1994 data]
