SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Effective Date
On January 14, 2020, MSHA published in the Federal Register a
direct final rule to revise certain safety standards for explosives at
metal and nonmetal mines (85 FR 2022). In the same issue of the Federal
Register, MSHA published a companion proposed rule (85 FR 2064) for
notice and comment rulemaking to provide a procedural framework to
finalize the rule in the event that the Agency received significant
adverse comments and had to withdraw the direct final rule. After
reviewing all the comments received during the public comment period,
MSHA has determined that these comments are not adverse to the direct
final rule. Therefore, the direct final rule took effect on March 16,
2020.
Authority: 30 U.S.C. 811
David G. Zatezalo,
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health Administration.
