Description:
The Addresses of Record data set contains detailed information about mine addresses, including mine identification number, location, status, and other relevant details. Mine operators provide an address of record when they submit a Legal ID form to request a mine ID number. Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) district offices update these addresses as needed to keep the information current.
