‘‘SEC. 205. DEFINITION. 
‘‘In this title, the term ‘approved institution of higher 
education’ means an institution of higher education (as 
defined in section 102 of the Higher Education Act of 
1965 (20 U.S.C. 1002)) that— 
‘‘(1) is eligible to participate in the student fi-
nancial assistance programs under title IV of the 
Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070 et 
seq.); and

tients being dropped, thus allowing patients a safer 
means to progress through their care. 
(4) The development of assistive patient han-
dling technology, equipment, and devices has essen-
tially rendered the act of strict manual patient han-
dling outdated and typically unnecessary as a func-
tion of nursing care. 
(5) A growing number of health care facilities 
that have incorporated patient handling technology 
and practices have reported positive results. Injuries 
among nursing staff and health care workers have 
dramatically declined at health care facilities imple-
menting safe patient handling technology, equip-
ment, devices, and practices. As a result, the number 
of lost work days due to injury and staff turnover 
has declined. Studies have also shown that assistive 
patient handling technology successfully reduces 
workers’ compensation costs for musculoskeletal dis-
orders. 
(6) A number of States have implemented safe 
patient handling, mobility and injury prevention 
standards. The success of these programs at the fa-
cility and State level demonstrates the feasibility of 
such standards.

fect the public welfare by destroying or diminishing
the utility of public domain lands for other appro-
priate uses and by creating hazards dangerous to
the public health and safety and to the environment.
(8) Existing Federal law and regulations, as
well as applicable State laws, have proven to be in-
adequate to ensure that active mining operations
under the Mining Law of 1872 will not leave to fu-
ture generations a new legacy of hazards associated
with unreclaimed mined lands.
(9) The public interest is no longer being served
by archaic features of the Mining Law of 1872 that
thwart the efficient exploration and development of
those minerals which remain under its scope and
which conflict with modern public land use manage-
ment philosophies.

gent development of its mineral resources, a finan-
cial return for the use of public domain lands for
mineral activities as well as for the disposition of
valuable mineral resources from such lands.
