records of miner exposures to noise so 

that mine operators and MSHA can 

evaluate the need for and effectiveness 

of engineering controls, administrative 

controls, and personal protective 

equipment to protect miners from 

harmful levels of exposure. The records 

are used by mine operators and MSHA 

to verify that the testing was done and 

the required actions implemented. Part 

62 also requires the mine operator to 

provide training to overexposed miners 

about the hazards of noise exposure, 

hearing protector selection and use, the 

hearing test program, and the operator’s 

noise controls. Records of training are 

needed to confirm that miners receive 

the information they need to become 

active participants in hearing 

conservation efforts.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

In March 2004, the Department of 

Labor (DOL), through the Office of the 

Assistant Secretary for Policy’s Office of 

Compliance Assistance Policy (OCA), 

launched the Partnerships for 

Compliance Assistance Program (PCAP) 

which is aimed at promoting greater 

awareness and compliance with DOL’s 

employment laws through partnerships 

and activities with nonprofit third-party 

membership organizations. Through 

DOL’s and its partners’ efforts, PCAP 

increases opportunities to provide 

DOL’s customers with assistance in 

complying with federal employment 

laws. Following the March 2004 PCAP 

announcement, nine organizations were 

recommended and approved for 

partnership. Partnership activities 

include but are not limited to 

dissemination of compliance assistance 

educational materials, participation in 

Web casts, e-mail alerts of new 

compliance assistance tools or 

resources, newsletter articles, Web 

links, and speaking engagements. 

OCA is again seeking partnership 

applications from nonprofit third-party 

trade, professional or labor membership 

organizations that share DOL’s 

understanding of the importance of 

providing clear, accurate and easy-toaccess compliance assistance to 

employers and other stakeholders, in 

order to protect the wages, health 

benefits, retirement security, safety and 

health of America’s workforce. 

Partnership efforts are designed to 

provide nonprofit third-party 

organizations and their members with 

an awareness of the various laws and 

regulations DOL administers and where 

to get accurate and easy-to-access 

information on compliance assistance. 

These partnerships enable DOL to reach 

a greater number of businesses and 

workers than it could solely through its 

own outreach efforts.
