Currently, the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) is soliciting comments concerning the extension of the information collection related to the 30 CFR Sections: 75.215Longwall mining systems; 75.220Roof control plan; 75.221Roof control plan information; 75.222Roof control plan-approval criteria; and 75.223Evaluation and revision of roof control plan.
