encouraged to include a map of the
active areas of the mine under the body
of water showing the following: bottom
of coal elevations (minimum 10-ft
contour intervals); the limits of the body
of water and the estimated quantity of
water in the pool; the limits of the
proposed ‘‘safety zone’’ within which
precautions will be taken; overburden
thickness (depth of cover) contours;
corehole locations; and known faults,
lineaments, and other geologic features.
If the body of water is contained
within an overlying mine, then MSHA
recommends a map of the overlying
mine showing bottom of coal elevations
(minimum 10-ft contour intervals),
when available, corehole locations, the
limits of the body of water with the
estimated quantity of water in the pool,
and interburden to active mine below be
provided. Operators are also encouraged
to submit the methods that were used to
estimate the quantity of water in the
pool, borehole logs, including
geotechnical information (RQD, fracture
logs, etc.) if available; rock mechanics
data on the overburden, interburden,
mine roof, and mine floor, if available;
mining height of the seam being mined,
pillar and floor stability analyses for the
active mine, whether second mining is
planned, whether mining will be
conducted down-dip or up-dip, where
water will flow to in the active mine if
encountered, pumping capabilities for
dewatering, a comprehensive
evacuation plan for the miners, and a
statement of what in-mine conditions
would trigger the implementation of the
evacuation plan, and training that will
be provided to the miners regarding the
potential hazards.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments

I. Background
Section 103(h)of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes
MSHA to collect information necessary
to carry out its duty in protecting the
safety and health of miners. Further,
section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C.
811, authorizes the Secretary of Labor to
develop, promulgate, and revise as may
be appropriate, improved mandatory
health or safety standards for the
protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal
mines.
Under section 305(g) of the Mine Act,
all electric equipment located at a coal
mine shall be frequently examined,
tested, and properly maintained by a
qualified person to assure safe operating
conditions. The determination of a
person as qualified to examine, test, and
maintain electric equipment at a coal
mine is further defined under the
provisions of Title 30 CFR 75.153 and
77.103.
Title 30 CFR 75.153 and 77.103 define
a person as qualified to perform
electrical work if he has been qualified
as a coal mine electrician by a State that
has a coal mine electrical qualification
program approved by MSHA; or if he
has at least 1 year of experience
performing electrical work underground
in a coal mine, in a surface coal mine,
in a noncoal mine, in the mine
equipment manufacturing industry, or
in any other industry using or
manufacturing similar equipment, and
has satisfactorily completed a coal mine
electrical training program approved by
MSHA or has attained a satisfactory
grade on a series of five written tests
approved by MSHA.
MSHA Form 5000–1 is completed and
submitted by those individuals
providing both the initial and
subsequent annual training necessary to
meet the requirements of Title 30 CFR
75.153 and 77.103 for individuals
qualified to examine, test, and maintain
electrical equipment. MSHA Form
5000–1 provides the coal mining
industry with a standardized reporting
format that expedites the certification
process while ensuring compliance with
the regulations. The information
provided on the form enables MSHA to
determine if the applicants satisfy the
requirements to obtain the certification
or qualification.
