{"abstract":"The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently established a research program to address the rapidly expanding area of automation and associated technologies in mining. NIOSH is requesting information to inform the prioritization of research to be undertaken by The Institute's Mining Program. NIOSH is seeking input on priority gaps in knowledge regarding the safety and health implications of humans working with automated equipment and associated technologies in mining, with an emphasis on worker safety and health research in which NIOSH has the comparative advantage, and is unlikely to be undertaken by other federal agencies, academia, or the private sector.","action":"Request for information and comment.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES","name":"Health and Human Services Department","id":221,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/health-and-human-services-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/221","parent_id":null,"slug":"health-and-human-services-department"},{"raw_name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","name":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention","id":44,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/centers-for-disease-control-and-prevention","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/44","parent_id":221,"slug":"centers-for-disease-control-and-prevention"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2019/03/18/2019-04926.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"84 FR 9798","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2019-05-17","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Electronic or written comments must be received by May 17, 2019.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket Number CDC-2019-0016, NIOSH-325"],"dockets":[{"supporting_documents":[],"agency_name":"CDC","documents":[{"comment_count":3,"comment_start_date":"2019-03-18","updated_at":"2023-02-28T18:23:59.288-05:00","comment_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/commenton/CDC-2019-0016-0001","allow_late_comments":null,"id":"CDC-2019-0016-0001","comment_end_date":"2019-05-18","regulations_dot_gov_open_for_comment":false}],"supporting_documents_count":0,"id":"CDC-2019-0016","title":"Mining Automation and Safety Research Prioritization; Request for information and comment"}],"document_number":"2019-04926","effective_on":null,"end_page":9799,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2019/03/18/2019-04926.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/03/18/2019-04926/mining-automation-and-safety-research-prioritization","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2019-04926?publication_date=2019-03-18","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2019-03-18/2019-04926/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":418,"last_updated":"2026-10-24 02:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2019-03-18/pdf/2019-04926.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2019-04926.pdf?1552653919","publication_date":"2019-03-18","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2019/03/18/2019-04926.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"comments_count":3,"agency_id":"CDC","comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=CDC-2019-0016","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"CDC-2019-0016","document_id":"CDC-2019-0016-0001","regulation_id_number":null,"title":"Mining Automation and Safety Research Prioritization; Request for information and comment","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2023-02-28T23:23:58Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":9798,"subtype":null,"title":"Mining Automation and Safety Research Prioritization","toc_doc":"Mining Automation and Safety Research Prioritization","toc_subject":"Request for Information:","topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":84}
