Download as PDF 73038 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 227 / Monday, November 28, 2022 / Notices The White House issued Executive Order 14008, Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad, resulting in part, in the Council on Environmental Quality and a White House advisory committee focused on serving environmental justice communities. The policy of the Administration is to secure economic justice and spur economic opportunities for disadvantaged communities that have been historically marginalized and overburdened, including places that have suffered as a result of economic shifts and places that have suffered the most from persistent pollution, including low-income rural and urban communities, communities of color, and Native communities. At the Department we refer to the individuals in such communities as disadvantaged workers. The Department provides a range of services that seeks to assist and improve the overall job quality for disadvantaged workers, through job search, training, income maintenance, worker empowerment, safety and health protections, and other worker protections. The Department is interested in learning about potential approaches and gathering feedback to improving services for the economically disadvantaged. In this session, the Department will seek public input on what are the greatest needs and/or barriers facing disadvantaged and/or environmentally-impacted communities as it relates to employment, worker protections, and worker rights.

Under section 313 of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 873, any explosives used in underground coal mines must be permissible. The Mine Act also provides that, under safeguards prescribed by the Secretary, the firing of more than 20 shots and the use of nonpermissible explosives in sinking shafts and slopes from the surface in rock may be permitted. 30 CFR 75.1321 outlines the procedures by which a permit may be issued for the firing of more than 20 boreholes and for the use of nonpermissible shot-firing units in underground coal mines. At surface coal mines and surface work areas of underground coal mines, 30 CFR 77.1909–1 outlines the procedures by which a coal mine operator may apply for a permit to use non-permissible explosives and shot-firing units in the blasting of rock during the development of shafts or slopes. Additionally, in the event of a misfire of explosives, 30 CFR 75.1327 requires that a qualified person post a warning to prohibit entry at each accessible entrance to the affected area.
