| Title: Coal Mine Respirable Dust: Continuous Personal Dust Monitor (CPDM) | |
| Abstract: On June 24, 2003, MSHA announced that all work on its Plan Verification and Single Sample Respirable Coal Mine Dust final rules would cease and the rulemaking record would remain open in order to obtain information concerning Continuous Personal Dust Monitors (CPDMs) being tested by NIOSH. A Federal Register notice was published on July 3, 2003, extending the comment periods indefinitely. NIOSH issued a report on the CPDM in September 2006, and another report concerning test results published in January 2008. MSHA is combining this rulemaking with the rulemaking "Lowering Miners' Exposure to Coal Mine Dust Including Continuous Personal Dust Monitors." | |
