to MSHA for approval a written respirable dust control plan within 15 
calendar days after the termination date of a citation for violation of 
the applicable dust standard.
    Section 71.301(d) requires the respirable dust control plan to be

with the sampling requirements stipulated in the regulations but also 
which operators were in noncompliance with the applicable dust 
standard. After
