Determination of Concentration of Respirable Coal Mine Dust

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Proposed rule; reopening of record; correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This document corrects errors which appeared in a notice of 
reopening addressing the joint Department of Labor and Department of 
Health and Human Services proposed rule, ``Determination of 
Concentration of Respirable Coal Mine Dust.''

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marvin W. Nichols, Jr., Director, 
Office of Standards, Regulations, and Variances, MSHA, 202-693-9440.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March 6, 2003 (68 FR 10940) MSHA 
published a notice of reopening addressing the July 7, 2000 proposed 
rule, (65 FR 42068), Determination of Concentration of Respirable Coal 
Mine Dust.
    The proposed rule announced that the Secretary of Labor and the 
Secretary of Health and Human Services would find that the average 
concentration of respirable dust to which each miner in the active 
workings of a coal mine is exposed can be accurately measured over a 
single shift. The Secretaries proposed to rescind a previous 1972 
finding by the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Health, 
Education and Welfare, on the accuracy of single shift sampling.
    This document makes the following correction to the notice of 
reopening only as published on March 6, 2003.
