WASHINGTON, June 25 -- Mine Safety and Health Administration has issued a rule called: Improving and Eliminating Regulations; Diesel Particulate Matter Emission Limits in Underground Coal Mines.
The rule was published in the Federal Register on June 25 by Wayne D. Palmer, Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health Administration.
