United States DC Circuit
Int'l Union, United Mine Workers of Am. v. Dep't of Labor, 08-1147
Petition for review of a final rule concerning mine rescue teams is granted where the final rule is inconsistent with the MINER Act insofar as it allows certain rescue teams to meet its requirements by training at small mines annually rather than semi-annually, and allows state employees on mine rescue teams to fulfill their obligations with participation in only one mine rescue contest per year.
