SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    30 CFR part 49, Mine Rescue Teams, Subpart B--Mine Rescue Teams for 
Underground Coal Mines, sets standards related to the availability of 
mine rescue teams; alternate mine rescue capability for small and 
remote mines; inspection and maintenance records of mine rescue 
equipment and apparatus; physical requirements for mine rescue team 
members and alternates; and experience and training requirements for 
team members and alternates.
    Section 49.12 requires each operator of an underground coal mine to 
send the District Manager a statement describing the mine's method of 
compliance with this standard. This package covers the following 
requirements for coal mines.
    Section 49.13 provides that operators of small and remote mines may 
submit an application for alternative mine rescue capability to MSHA 
for approval.
    Section 49.16 requires that a person trained in the use and care of 
a breathing apparatus must inspect and test the apparatus at intervals 
not exceeding 30 days and must certify by signature and date that the 
required inspections and tests were done, and record any corrective 
action taken.
    Section 49.17 requires that each member of a mine rescue team be 
examined annually by a physician who must certify that each person is 
physically fit to perform mine rescue and recovery work.
    Section 49.18 requires that a record of the training received by 
each mine rescue team member be made and kept on file at the mine 
rescue station for a period of one year. The operator must provide the 
District Manager information concerning the schedule of upcoming 
training when requested.
    Section 49.19 requires that each mine have a mine rescue 
notification plan outlining the procedures to be followed in notifying 
the mine rescue teams when there is an emergency that requires their 
services.
    Section 49.50 requires underground coal mine operators to certify 
that each designated coal mine rescue team meets the requirements of 30 
CFR part 49 subpart B.
    Sections 75.1713-1 and 77.1702 require operators to make 
arrangements for 24-hour emergency medical assistance and 
transportation for injured persons and to post this information at 
appropriate places at the mine, including the names, titles, addresses, 
and telephone numbers of all persons or services currently available 
under those arrangements.
