When I noted last week<\/a> that OSHA had come out of the new Fall 2017 Regulatory Agenda<\/a> relatively unscathed, I neglect to note that the same was not true for the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) — and the miners it is supposed to protect.<\/p>\n

Labor Secretary Alex Acosta claimed last week<\/a> that Trump’s regulatory policies were “bringing common sense to regulations that hold back job creation and prosperity” and that “The Department of Labor will continue to protect American workers\u2019 interests while limiting the burdens of over-regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apparently the “interests of American workers” don’t include the health of miners’ lungs.<\/p>\n

According to the regulatory agenda issued last week, MSHA is requesting public comment<\/a> on two issues which may lead to weakening regulations issued by MSHA in 2014 increasing the protections for miners against black lung and diesel exhaust which can cause lung disease and cancer:<\/p>\n

(1) MSHA\u2019s existing standards and regulations that could be improved or made more effective or less burdensome by accommodating advances in technology, innovative techniques, or less costly methods, including the requirements that could be streamlined or replaced in frequency; and<\/p>\n

(2) The Agency\u2019s retrospective review of the final rule entitled Lowering Miners\u2019 Exposure to the Respirable Coal Mine Dust, Including Continuous Personal Dust monitors (CPDM) (Dust). Stakeholder comments will assist MSHA in evaluating whether modifications of existing standards and regulations can better achieve regulatory objectives and, for the retrospective study, will assist MSHA in evaluating whether the final Dust rule is achieving respirable dust levels to protect miners\u2019 health.<\/p>\n

As Ken ward notes in the Charleston Gazette<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The Trump administration\u2019s moves come as researchers\u00a0are increasingly concerned<\/a>\u00a0about\u00a0a resurgence in lung disease<\/a>\u00a0among coal miners, especially in West Virginia and other Appalachian coal states. Black lung, or coal workers\u2019 pneumoconiosis, is the common name for a collection of debilitating and potentially fatal ailments caused by breathing coal dust.<\/p>\n

In 1969, when it passed landmark mine safety legislation, Congress made eliminating black lung a national goal, but between 1968 and 2014, more than 76,000 coal miners nationwide died from the disease.<\/p>\n

Safety advocates are especially worried that\u00a0the most recent research<\/a>\u00a0shows black lung affecting younger miners whose entire careers took place after the 1969 law took effect.<\/p>\n

Mine safety advocates are worried<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“I think it’s a very bad signal for coal miners that MSHA is wanting to revisit the issue of coal dust and rock dust as well as diesel exhaust,” said attorney Tony Oppegard, who represents miners in safety cases. “I don’t think the Trump administration has coal miners’ best interests at heart. They’re aligned with coal mine operators as opposed to miners, and the only reasons they would want to reopen these rules or revisit these rules are to weaken them.”<\/p>\n

Needless to say, the mining industry is pleased.\u00a0 The National Mining Association says that the request for information\u00a0might shed “valuable information on operation of the rule” and a spokesman for Murray Energy says that the company\u00a0 “is pleased that the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration is reexamining the Obama administration\u2019s Respirable Dust Rule, which fails to protect coal miners in any way.”<\/p>\n

Murray Energy,\u00a0West Virginia\u2019s largest coal producer, is owned by Bob Murray, who owned the Crandall Canyon mine in Utah where\u00a0six trapped miners died in 2007. \u00a0Murray has always blamed the collapse on an earthquake, which even George Bush\u2019s MSHA denied. \u00a0Murray has come into the news again recently when he\u00a0sued comedian John Oliver<\/a>\u00a0who did a hilarious piece on Murray on\u00a0Last Week Tonight\u00a0<\/em>after\u00a0Murray Energy sent a cease and desist order to the show.<\/p>\n

Murray was also a major advocate to David Zatezalo<\/a> to be head of MSHA. Zatezalo was confirmed by the Senate and sworn into the job last month. During his confirmation hearing, he testified that \u201cThe increase [in black lung] that\u2019s been discussed is certainly unacceptable.”<\/p>\n
