Background

    The CWXSP is a federally mandated program under the Federal Mine 
Safety and Health Act of 1977, PL-95-164. The Act provides the 
regulatory authority for the administration of the CWXSP, a 
surveillance program to protect the health and safety of underground 
coal miners. This Program requires the gathering of information from 
coal mine operators, participating miners, participating x-ray 
facilities, and participating physicians. The Appalachian Laboratory 
for Occupational Safety and Health (ALOSH), located in Morgantown, WV, 
is charged with administration of this Program. The estimated 
annualized burden is 1246 hours.
