realistic self-contained self-rescue (SCSR) training units to conduct 

annual SCSR expectations training.



DATES: Underground coal mine operators must have a purchase order for 

realistic SCSR training units by April 30, 2007 and conduct this 

component of expectations training within 60 days of receipt of the 

units.

of Standards, Regulations, and Variances, MSHA, 1100 Wilson Boulevard, 

Room 2350, Arlington, Virginia 22209-3939. Ms. Silvey can be reached at

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On December 8, 2006, the Mine Safety and 

Health Administration (MSHA) published a final rule on Emergency Mine 

Evacuation. The majority of the requirements applied to underground 

coal mines. [71 FR 71430] Section 75.1504(c) of the final rule is a new 

provision that requires underground coal mine operators to provide 

annual SCSR expectations training to miners. Expectations training 

requires the miner to breathe through a realistic SCSR training unit or 

an equivalent device that provides the sensation of airflow resistance 

and heat that the miner would experience when using an SCSR during an 

emergency.

    When the final rule was published, realistic SCSR training units 

were not available. MSHA did not require compliance with expectations 

training until the training units became available. MSHA also stated 

that the Agency would notify mine operators of the availability of the 

training units by publishing a notice in the Federal Register.

    MSHA has determined that realistic SCSR training units are now 

available. These units are now manufactured by CSE, Ocenco, and 

Draeger. Mine operators can purchase these units directly from the 

manufacturers at the addresses below:
