FEDERAL MSHRC TO PUBLISH INFORMATIONAL BOOKLET

The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission is planning to publish a booklet containing the following information:  (1) the updated version of Title I of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) integrated with the provisions of the Mine Improvement and New Emergency Response Act of 2006 (MINER Act); (2) the Commission's procedural and Equal Access to Justice Act rules; and (3) the Commission's summary of Commission procedures, entitled "How a Case Proceeds Before the Commission."  

These booklets are expected to be available later this fall for a small charge (approximately $5).  The Commission is currently seeking feedback from the public to ascertain interest in this publication.  Members of the public are urged to email the Commission at brochures@fmshrc.gov by October 1, 2007, indicating the number of copies they would anticipate ordering.  This is a preliminary survey and does not obligate any future purchase.  Once the booklets are available, the Commission will make an announcement and then begin accepting orders.
