劳工部发布五项矿山安全最终规则：清理过时与重复要求，11月12日刊登后30天生效
美国劳工部矿山安全与健康管理局（MSHA）11月10日宣布发布五项与矿山安全与健康有关的最终规则，称此举是落实特朗普总统关于取消不必要、过时与负担过重监管的行政令的又一步。新闻稿编号为26-1682-NAT。
矿山安全与健康管理局表示，这五项最终规则不会降低对矿工的保护，因为它们删除的是已不再适用于地下采矿业的要求，包括过时的生效日期、已不再使用的过时技术要求，以及重复性要求。
五项规则涉及的领域分别是：许可灯具，删除地下煤矿电动矿灯与其他电动灯具的重复要求；柴油颗粒物，取消地下金属与非金属矿山柴油颗粒物个人暴露限值的过时要求；地下煤矿泡沫发生系统安装，删除已不再适用的要求；位于地下水位以上煤层中的电气面设备，因所有地下煤矿无论与地下水位的位置关系如何均作同样处理而取消相关要求；以及矿柱最终回采，删除相关要求，因为只留一个矿井开口的矿柱最终回采做法已不再使用。
矿山安全与健康管理局说，今年早些时候该局已发布四项去监管最终规则，涉及火焰安全灯、地下煤矿柴油颗粒物、输送带与铁匠铺等领域。本次五项最终规则将于11月12日刊登于《联邦公报》，并在刊登30天后生效。

Labor Department Issues Five Final Mine Safety Rules Removing Outdated and Duplicative Requirements
The U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) on Nov. 10 announced five final rules related to mine safety and health, saying the move furthers President Trump's executive order aimed at eliminating unnecessary, outdated and burdensome regulations. The release number is 26-1682-NAT.
MSHA said the final rules do not reduce protections for miners because they remove requirements that are no longer applicable to the underground mining industry, including outdated effective dates, requirements for outdated technology that is no longer used, and duplicative requirements.
The five rules cover: permissible lamps, removing duplicative requirements for electric cap lamps and other electric lamps in underground coal mines; diesel particulate matter, eliminating outdated requirements for personal exposure limits in underground metal and nonmetal mines; installation of foam generator systems in underground coal mines, removing requirements that are no longer applicable; electrical face equipment in coal seams above the water table, eliminating requirements because all underground coal mines are treated similarly regardless of location relative to the water table; and final mining of pillars, removing requirements because the practice of final mining of pillars with one mine opening is no longer used.
Earlier this year, MSHA published four final deregulatory rules related to flame safety lamps, diesel particulate matter in underground coal mines, conveyor belts and blacksmith shops. The five new final rules will be published in the Nov. 12 edition of the Federal Register and take effect 30 days after publication.
