Heading: Experience under other health and safety laws

Text: Finally, the petitioners claim that MSHA has failed to consider “experience gained under this and other health and safety laws.” Mine Act § 101(a)(6)(A), 30 U.S.C. § 811(a)(6)(A). In support of this claim, however, the petitioners cite only that other health and safety laws exist. Not only are these other standards cited without any context to show that they are based on the latest technology and latest health information, they are unaccompanied by data that demonstrate their success in achieving the goal of eliminating CWP. 41 41 Additionally, we acknowledge that, in the hundreds of pages of briefing submitted in this case, the petitioners have raised additional arguments challenging the rule. We have not addressed arguments that were insubstantial either because they lacked any legal or evidentiary support or because they were plainly without merit. 82 Case: 14-11942 Date Filed: 01/25/2016 Page: 83 of 83
