Notice of Periodic Review
Pursuant to Executive Order Number 25 (98), the Department of Mines, Minerals, and Energy is currently reviewing the Board of Coal Mine Examiners Certification Requirements to determine if they should be terminated, amended, or retained in their current form

The department seeks public comment regarding the essential need of the regulations to protect the health, safety, or welfare of citizens or for the efficient and economical importance of an important government function. The department seeks to consider less burdensome and intrusive alternatives to the regulations, specific and measurable goals that the regulations are intended to achieve, and whether the regulations are clearly written and easily understandable.
