II. Background

    On June 26, 2018, (83 FR 29716), MSHA published an RFI on Safety 
Improvement Technologies for Mobile Equipment at Surface Mines, and for 
Belt Conveyors at Surface and Underground Mines. MSHA is soliciting 
stakeholder comments, data and information on technologies that can 
reduce accidents involving mobile equipment at surface mines and belt 
conveyors at surface and underground mines. Specifically, the Agency is 
requesting information from the mining community regarding the types of 
engineering controls available, how to implement such engineering 
controls, and how these controls could be used in mobile equipment and 
belt conveyors to reduce accidents, fatalities and injuries. MSHA is 
also seeking suggestions from stakeholders on best practices, training 
materials, policies and procedures, innovative technologies, and any 
other information that stakeholders may have available to improve 
safety in and around mobile equipment, and working near and around belt 
conveyors. The meetings will provide the mining community an 
opportunity to discuss and share information about the issues raised in 
the RFI. Comments must be received or postmarked by midnight Eastern 
Standard Time on December 24, 2018.

David G. Zatezalo,
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health.
