MSHA is currently working on a number of rules. What are they?

A list of our current regulatory projects is published in the Federal Register around April/May and October/November each year, as part of the Federal government's Semi-Annual Regulatory Agenda. For rules in progress, we can tell the public only what is published in the Agenda. You may obtain a copy of the Semi-Annual Regulatory Agenda on MSHA’s website or at Regulations.gov. The Agenda describes our workload for the next six months to a year and is divided into four sections based on the stage of the rulemaking: Pre-Rule, Proposed Rule, Final Rule, and Completed Actions.
