Mine Review Commission Proposed Rulemaking to Simplify Proceedings
The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission is an independent adjudicatory agency that provides trials and appellate review of cases arising under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the “Mine Act”). Trials are held before the Commission’s Administrative Law Judges and appellate review is provided by a five-member Review Commission appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. The Commission is proposing a rule to simplify the procedures for handling certain civil penalty proceedings. Comments are due June 21, 2010. http://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2010/2010-11739.htm
