Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 89 / Tuesday, May 9, 2006 / Notices
See Black’s Law Dictionary (7th ed.
1999) at 341 (a ‘‘corporation’’ is ‘‘[a]n
entity (usu. a business) having authority
under law to act as a single person
distinct from the shareholders who own
it * * *; a group or succession of
persons established in accordance with
legal rules into a legal or juristic person
that has legal personality distinct from
the natural persons who make it up
[and] exists indefinitely apart from them
* * *’’). See also Webster’s Third New
International Dictionary (2002) at 510 (a
‘‘corporation’’ is ‘‘a group of persons
* * * treated by the law as an
individual or unity having rights and
liabilities distinct from those of the
persons * * * composing it * * *’’).
Significantly, a number of LLCs in the
mining industry are the sort of relatively
large and corporately structured entities
which Congress had in mind when it
enacted Section 110(c). The Secretary
believes that the underlying objective
Congress identified when it enacted the
Coal Act in 1969 and reiterated when it
enacted the Mine Act in 1977—to place
responsibility for compliance and
liability for violations ‘‘on those who
control or supervise the operation of
* * * mines as well as on those who
operate them’’—will best be advanced if
Section 110(c) is interpreted as being
applicable to agents of LLCs.
For all of the foregoing reasons, the
Secretary believes that the interpretation
set forth in this Interpretive Bulletin is
permissible under the Mine Act, and
that it will advance the Act’s objectives
in cases involving LLCs by imposing
legal liability on those individuals
within the LLC who actually make the
decisions with regard to safety and
health in the mine.2
Dated: May 3, 2006.
David G. Dye,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety
and Health.

2 The
Secretary recognizes that Section 110(c) has
been held not to apply to agents of partnerships
because, by its terms, Section 110(c) applies only
to agents of corporations. Paul Shirel and Donald
Guess, employed by Pyro Mining Co., 15 FMSHRC
2440 (1993), aff’d, 52 F.3d 1123 (D.C. Cir. 1995)
(unpublished). That holding has no bearing in this
situation, however, because partnerships, unlike
LLCs, existed and were a well-known form of
business organization when Congress enacted the
Mine Act.
The Secretary does not address in this
Interpretive Bulletin whether Section 110(c) is
applicable to agents of non-traditional business
entities other than LLCs. The Secretary will address
the applicability of Section 110(c) to the agents of
such entities as the question arises.
