SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

On March 12, 1996 (61 FR 10012),

MSHA and NIOSH published a notice in

the Federal Register reopening the

record for their joint notice. The joint

notice proposed a finding that the

average concentration of respirable dust,

to which each miner in the active

workings of a coal mine is exposed, can

be measured accurately over a single

shift. This finding is being made in

accordance with section 202(f) of the

Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of

1977. The Agencies reopened the record

(1) to submit a definition of accuracy;

(2) to supply new data and statistical

analyses on the precision of coal mine

respirable dust measurements obtained

using approved sampling equipment;

and (3) to allow the public time to

review and submit comments on this

supplemental information. This

additional information does not change

the proposed findings.

The comment period had been

scheduled to close on April 11, 1996. In

response to requests from the public for

additional time to review this

information and prepare their

comments, the Agencies extended the

comment period until June 10, 1996 (61

FR 16123). This extension notice also

announced that a public hearing would

be held prior to June 10, 1996.

II. Conduct of Hearing

The purpose of the public hearing is

(1) to receive relevant comments and (2)

to answer questions concerning the

definition of accuracy and the new data

and statistical analyses on the precision

of coal mine respirable dust

measurements obtained using approved
