Mine operators are required to report employment and production information to MSHA using Form 7000-2 for each quarter of operation at the mine. The 30CFR Part 50.30 states that the form 7000-2 must be submitted within 15 days after the close of each calendar quarter. Those forms filed after the 15 day period will be considered late.
The filing period for quarterly filings is open for the current year, plus previous year. Quarterly reports are due within 15 days after the end of each calendar quarter as mandated by Part 50.30. To assist in easing the burden to operators and contractors, Quarterly Mine Employment and Coal Production Report can now be filed online 365 days a year. Or it can be printed, filled in and sent to MSHA according to the instructions provided below.
