SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

A. Legal Authority 

Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act), as amended, 30 U.S.C. 813(h), 

authorizes MSHA to collect information 

necessary to carry out its duty in 

protecting the safety and health of 

miners. Further, section 101(a) of the 

Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811(a), authorizes 

the Secretary of Labor to develop, 

promulgate, and revise as may be 

appropriate, improved mandatory 

health or safety standards for the 

protection of life and prevention of 

injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal 

mines. 

B. Information Collection 

In order to fulfill the statutory 

mandates to promote miners’ health and 

safety MSHA requires the collection of 

information under the information 

collection request entitled Health 

Standards for Diesel Particulate Matter 

Exposure (Underground Metal and 

Nonmetal Mines). The information 

collection addressed by this notice is 

intended to ensure diesel particulate 

matter levels in metal and nonmetal 

(MNM) mines are kept at acceptable 

levels and do not expose miners to 

explosive or other hazardous 

conditions. 

Diesel particulate matter (DPM) is a 

carcinogen that consists of tiny particles 

present in diesel engine exhaust that 

can penetrate into the lungs. Despite 

ventilation, the confined underground 

mine work environment may contribute 

to significant concentrations of particles 

produced by equipment used in the 

mine. Underground miners are exposed 

to higher concentrations of DPM than 

any other occupational group. As a 

result, they face a greater risk of 

developing diseases such as lung 

cancer, heart failure, serious allergic 

responses, and other cardiopulmonary 

problems. 

The DPM regulations established a 

permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 160 

micrograms of total carbon per cubic 

meter of air (mg/m3), which is a 

surrogate for measuring a miner’s 

exposure to DPM. Under 30 CFR 

57.5060(b)(3), a miner’s personal 

exposure to DPM in an underground 

mine must not exceed an average eighthour equivalent full shift airborne 

concentration of 160TC mg/m3. Other 

DPM regulations include a number of 

other requirements for the protection of 

miners’ health. The DPM regulations 

contain information collection 

requirements for underground MNM 

mine operators under 30 CFR 57.5060, 

57.5065, 57.5066, 57.5070, 57.5071, and 

57.5075. 

1. Provide Miner With Medical 

Determination for Respirator Use 

1–1. Respirator Training and Fitting 

Due to the potential safety and health 

risks associated with exposure to DPM, 

controls must be used effectively to 

reduce exposure below the PEL. 

However, if exposure levels of DPM 

cannot feasibly be decreased below the 

PEL, they must be lowered as much as 

possible, and respiratory protection 

must be provided as a supplement to 

protect miners. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5060(d), mine 

operators must install, use, and 

maintain feasible engineering and 

administrative controls to reduce a 

miner’s exposure to or below the 

applicable DPM PEL. When controls do 

not reduce a miner’s DPM exposure to 

the PEL, controls are infeasible, or 

controls do not produce significant 

reductions in DPM exposures, controls 

must be used to reduce the miner’s 

exposure to as low a level as feasible 

and must be supplemented with 

respiratory protection in accordance 

with 30 CFR 57.5005(a), (b), and 

paragraphs (d)(1) through (d)(8) of this 

section. 

When respiratory protection is 

required, mine operators must establish 

a respiratory protection program that 

complies with MSHA’s respiratory 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
84632 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 23, 2024 / Notices 

protection standards for control of 

airborne contaminants at MNM mines in 

30 CFR 57.5005(a) and (b). These 

require that whenever respiratory 

protective equipment is used a mine 

operator must have a program for 

selection, maintenance, training, fitting, 

supervision, and cleaning of respiratory 

protective equipment. Respiratory 

protective equipment must meet the 

requirements in the DPM standard 

under paragraphs (d)(1) and (d)(2). The 

information collection is covered under 

a currently approved request, OMB 

Control Number 1219–0048, Respirator 

Program Records. 

1–2. Medical Evaluation 

Miners must seek medical approval of 

the ability to safely wear respiratory 

protection before they work in an area 

of the mine that requires respiratory 

protection. This ensures that miners are 

safely and effectively able to wear 

respiratory protection. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5060(d)(3), mine 

operator must provide a confidential 

medical evaluation by a physician or 

other licensed health care professional 

(PLHCP), at no cost to the miner, to 

determine the miner’s ability to use a 

respirator before the miner is required to 

be fit tested or to use a respirator at the 

mine. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5060(d)(3), if the 

PLHCP determines that the miner 

cannot wear a negative pressure 

respirator, mine operators must make 

certain that the PLHCP evaluates the 

miner’s ability to wear a powered air 

purifying respirator (PAPR). 

Under 30 CFR 57.5060(d)(4), mine 

operators must provide the miner with 

an opportunity to discuss their 

evaluation results with the PLHCP 

before the PLHCP submits the written 

determination to the mine operator 

regarding the miner’s ability to wear a 

respirator. If the miner disagrees with 

the evaluation results of the PLHCP, the 

miner may submit within 30 days 

additional evidence of his or her 

medical condition to the PLHCP. 

1–3. Written Medical Determination 

Examine Tagged Diesel Equipment 

Miners must undergo reevaluations if 

the work conditions change and there is 

reason to believe that a miner may no 

longer be able to safely wear a 

respirator. Under 30 CFR 57.5060(d)(5), 

mine operators must obtain a written 

determination from the PLHCP 

regarding the miner’s ability to wear a 

respirator and the mine operators must 

ensure that the PLHCP provides a copy 

of the determination to the miner. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5060(d)(6), a miner 

must be reevaluated when mine 

operators have reason to believe that 

conditions have changed which could 

adversely affect the miner’s ability to 

wear the respirator. Such conditions 

may include a reassignment of the 

miner to a new task requiring a 

significant increase in physical exertion, 

or the miner is assigned to work at a 

lower level of a deep mine where 

conditions such as heat impose greater 

physiological stress. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5060(d)(7), upon 

written notification that the PLHCP has 

determined that the miner is unable to 

wear a respirator, including a PAPR, the 

miner must be transferred to work in an 

existing position in an area of the same 

mine where respiratory protection is not 

required. The miner must be transferred 

within 30 days of the final 

determination by the PLHCP. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5060(d)(8), mine 

operators must maintain a record of the 

identity of the PLHCP and the most 

recent written determination of each 

miner’s ability to wear a respirator for 

the duration of the miner’s employment 

plus six months. 

2. MSHA DPM Sample of Working Area 

Under 30 CFR 57.5061, MSHA will 

use a single sample collected and 

analyzed in accordance with the 

requirements of this section as an 

adequate basis for a determination of 

noncompliance with the DPM limit. The 

Secretary will collect samples of DPM 

by using a respirable dust sampler 

equipped with a submicrometer 

impactor and analyze the samples for 

the amount of elemental carbon using 

the method described in NIOSH 

Analytical Method 5040. 

3. Retain Fuel Purchase Record 

Under 30 CFR 57.5065(a), diesel fuel 

used to power equipment in 

underground areas must not have a 

sulfur content greater than 0.05 percent. 

The operator must retain purchase 

records that demonstrate compliance 

with this requirement for one year after 

the date of purchase. 

4. Miner Tag Diesel Equipment 

Under 30 CFR 57.5066(b)(1), mine 

operators must authorize each miner 

operating diesel-powered equipment 

underground to affix a visible and dated 

tag to the equipment when the miner 

notes evidence that the equipment may 

require maintenance in order to comply 

with the maintenance standards 

specified in 30 CFR 57.5066(a). The 

term evidence means visible smoke or 

odor that is unusual for that piece of 

equipment under normal operating 

procedures, or obvious or visible defects 

in the exhaust emissions control system 

or in the engine affecting emissions. 

5. Retain Log of Equipment 

Maintenance 

Any diesel-powered equipment 

requiring maintenance must be 

promptly inspected by an authorized 

person, and a log of inspections and any 

corrective action must be maintained. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5066(b)(2), mine 

operators must ensure that any tagged 

equipment is promptly examined by a 

person authorized to maintain diesel 

equipment, and that the affixed tag not 

be removed until the examination has 

been completed. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5066(b)(3), mine 

operators must retain a log of any 

equipment tagged pursuant to this 

section. The log must include the date 

the equipment is tagged, the date the 

equipment is examined, the name of the 

person examining the equipment, and 

any action taken as a result of the 

examination. The operator must retain 

the information in the log for one year 

after the date the tagged equipment was 

examined. 

6. Retain Record for Competent 

Maintenance Personnel 

Under 30 CFR 57.5066(c), persons 

authorized by a mine operator to 

maintain diesel equipment that operates 

at any time in underground areas as 

covered by paragraph (a) of this section 

must be qualified, by virtue of training 

or experience, to ensure that the 

maintenance standards of paragraph (a) 

of this section are observed. An operator 

must retain appropriate evidence of the 

competence of any person to perform 

specific maintenance tasks in 

compliance with those standards for one 

year after the date of any maintenance, 

and upon request must provide the 

documentation to the authorized 

representative of the Secretary. 

7. Retain Record of DPM Health 

Training 

Training is an important component 

of safety and health for all miners. 

Therefore, all miners who are expected 

to be exposed to DPM must undergo 

annual training. Under 30 CFR 

57.5070(a), mine operators must provide 

annual training to all miners at a mine 

covered by this part who can reasonably 

be expected to be exposed to diesel 

emissions on that property. The training 

must include— 

• The health risks associated with 

exposure to diesel particulate matter; 

• The methods used in the mine to 

control diesel particulate matter 

concentrations: 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 23, 2024 / Notices 84633 

• Identification of the personnel 

responsible for maintaining those 

controls: 

• Actions miners must take to ensure 

the controls operate as intended: 

Under 30 CFR 57.5070(b), mine 

operators must retain a record at the 

mine site of the training required by this 

section for one year after completion of 

the training. 

8. Post and Deliver Diesel Particle 

Sampling 

Mine operators are responsible for 

monitoring DPM levels to ensure miners 

are not exposed to levels that exceed the 

PEL. Under 30 CFR 57.5071(a), mine 

operators must monitor as often as 

necessary to effectively determine, 

under conditions that can be reasonably 

anticipated in the mine, whether the 

average personal full-shift airborne 

exposure to DPM exceeds the DPM limit 

specified in 30 CFR 57.5060. 

9. Notify Sampling 

Sampling must be conducted to 

ensure that miners are not exposed to 

dangerous levels of DPM. Prior to 

sampling, miners and their 

representatives must be notified of the 

date and time of DPM sampling. 

Following DPM sampling, results must 

be posted along with any necessary 

corrective action. Additionally, mine 

operators must provide any 

recordkeeping requirements to miners, 

former miners, or a miner’s 

representative, upon request. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5071(b), mine 

operators must provide affected miners 

and their representatives with an 

opportunity to observe exposure 

monitoring required by this section. 

Mine operators must give prior notice to 

affected miners and their 

representatives of the date and time of 

intended monitoring. 

10. Post Sampling Result and Retain 

Record 

Under 30 CFR 57.5071(d)(1), the 

results of monitoring for DPM, 

including any results received by a mine 

operator from sampling performed by 

MSHA, must be posted on the mine 

bulletin board within 15 days of receipt 

and must remain posted for 30 days. 

Mine operators must provide a copy of 

the results to the authorized 

representative of miners. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5071(d)(2), mine 

operators must retain for five years 

(from the date of sampling), the results 

of any samples mine operators collected 

as a result of monitoring under this 

section, and information about the 

sampling method used for obtaining the 

samples. 

11. Post Notice of Corrective Action 

Under 30 CFR 57.5071(c), if any 

monitoring performed under this 

section indicates that a miner’s 

exposure to diesel particulate matter 

exceeds the DPM limit specified in 30 

CFR 57.5060, the operator must 

promptly post notice of the corrective 

action being taken on the mine bulletin 

board, initiate corrective action by the 

next work shift, and promptly complete 

such corrective action. 

12. Respond to Request for Exposure 

Record by Miner 

Under 30 CFR 57.5075(a), the 

recordkeeping requirements of the DPM 

standards contained in 30 CFR 57.5060 

through 57.5071 are listed in a table 

entitled ‘‘Table 57.5075(A)—Diesel 

Particulate Matter Recordkeeping 

Requirements.’’ The table lists the 

records that mine operators must 

maintain pursuant to 30 CFR 57.5060, 

57.5065, 57.5066, 57.5070, 57.5071, and 

the retention period for these records. 

Under 30 CFR 57.5075(b)(3) mine 

operators must provide access to a 

miner, former miner, or, with the 

miner’s or former miner’s written 

consent, a personal representative of a 

miner, to any record required to be 

maintained pursuant to sections 57.5071 

or 57.5060(d) to the extent the 

information pertains to the miner or 

former miner. Mine operators must 

provide the first copy of a requested 

record at no cost, and any additional 

copies at reasonable cost. 

13. Respond to Request for Health 

Record 

Under 30 CFR 57.5075(b)(2), upon 

request from an authorized 

representative of the Secretary of Labor, 

the Secretary of Health and Human 

Services, or from the authorized 

representative of miners, mine operators 

must promptly provide access to any 

record listed in the table of DPM 

recordkeeping requirements in this 

section.
