The Workforce Investment Act (WIA), enacted in 1998, replaced the Job Training Partnership Act (JTPA) as the primary authorization for this appropriation account. The new
act revitalizes the Nation’s job training system to provide
workers with the information, advice, job search assistance,
and training they need to get and keep good jobs, and provides employers with skilled workers.
Adult employment and training activities.—Grants to provide financial assistance to States and territories to design
and operate training programs for adults, including low-income individuals and public assistance recipients.
Dislocated worker employment and training activities.—
Grants to provide reemployment services and retraining assistance to individuals dislocated from their employment. Also
included in this activity is funding for competitive grants
for dislocated worker employment and training activities, to
be financed through fees paid by employers for the certification of certain aliens as eligible workers under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Youth activities.—WIA replaces the former JTPA Youth
Training Grants and Summer Youth Employment and Training Programs with a single funding stream to support a wide
range of activities and services to prepare low-income youth
for academic and employment success, including summer jobs.
The new youth program links academic and occupational
learning with youth development activities.
Youth opportunity grants.—Grants to increase the long-term
employment of youth who live in empowerment zones, enterprise communities, and similar high poverty areas. Beginning
in FY 2000, this activity will include funding for the new
Rewarding Achievement in Youth program for competitive
grants to high poverty areas to provide low income youth
with extended summer employment opportunities and endof-summer bonuses for high academic achievement and job
performance.
School-to-work opportunities.—Grants to States and localities, jointly administered by the Departments of Labor and
Education, to build systems that provide youth with the
knowledge and skills necessary to make an effective transition
from school to careers through work-based learning, schoolbased education, and connecting activities.
Job Corps.—A system of primarily residential centers offering basic education, training, work experience, and other support to economically disadvantaged youth typically.
Native Americans.—Grants to Indian tribes and other Native American groups to provide training, work experience,
and other employment-related services to Native Americans.
Migrant and seasonal farmworkers.—Grants to public agencies and nonprofit groups to provide training and other employability development services to economically disadvantaged youth and families whose principal livelihood is gained
in migratory and other forms of seasonal farmwork.
Veterans workforce investment programs.—Grants or contracts to provide disabled, Vietnam-era, and recently separated veterans with programs to meet their unique employment and training needs.
National programs.—Provides program support for WIA activities and nationally administered programs for segments
of the population that have special disadvantages in the labor
market. Beginning in FY 2000, this activity will include funding for the new Right Track Partnerships program of competitive grants to local workforce investment boards to assist
low income out-of-school youth and youth who require addi-

tional assistance to complete an educational program. Services
may include tutoring, mentoring, counseling, jobs and job
training to prevent youth from dropping out of school, encourage those who have already dropped out to return to school,
and encourage school completion. In addition, a new demonstration program of grants to regional and local entities
to provide technical skills training for unemployed and incumbent workers will be initiated in FY 1999 and supported
by fees paid by employers applying for foreign workers under
the H–1b temporary alien labor certification program. This
program is authorized by the American Competitiveness and
Workforce Improvement Act of 1998.

Legislation will be proposed that would authorize the Secretary of Labor to collect fees from employers for the certification of certain aliens as eligible workers under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The fee proceeds will offset the
costs of administering and enforcing the alien labor program,
and provide reemployment and training assistance to U.S.
workers who have been dislocated from their jobs.
The additional proviso to be included in appropriation language is being proposed in anticipation of the enactment of
authorizing legislation. If the authorizing legislation is enacted, the proviso will reduce the amounts available under
the Training and Employment Services heading so that total
resources will not exceed the amount allowed under the discretionary spending caps. The proviso allows agencies to
spend whatever user fees are collected, possibly more or possibly less than the estimates in the schedule or the specified
reduction in Training and Employment Services expenditures.

Trade adjustment assistance.—Adjustment assistance, including cash weekly benefits, training, job search and reloca-

Legislation will be proposed that would consolidate and reform the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and the
NAFTA-Transitional Adjustment Assistance (NAFTA-TAA)
programs and extend the combined program for two and onequarter years through September 30, 2001. As part of the
consolidation, the proposed legislation would extend eligibility
for TAA to those who lose their jobs due to shifts in production abroad, similar to the current provision under NAFTATAA for shifts in production to Canada and Mexico. The legislative cap on TAA training expenditures would be raised to
support the expected increase in program participants. The
consolidated program would harmonize existing requirements
linking training and income support and would provide supportive services as needed. Finally, the proposed legislation
would create a contingency funding provision to assure that
resources are available to pay for any unexpected increase
in benefits costs for eligible workers.
The funds requested in the appropriations language for the
Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances account do
not cover the extension of NAFTA-TAA and the legislative
reforms. Once the proposed legislation has been enacted, the
Administration will submit modified appropriations language.

Unemployment compensation.—State administration
amounts provide administrative grants to State agencies
which pay unemployment compensation to eligible workers
and collect State unemployment taxes from employers. These
agencies also pay unemployment benefits to former Federal
personnel as well as trade adjustment assistance to eligible
individuals. State administration amounts also provide administrative grants to State agencies to improve the integrity
and financial stability of the unemployment compensation
program through a comprehensive program, UI Performs, to
effect continuous improvement in State performance and related activities designed to assess and reduce errors and prevent fraud, waste, and abuse in the payment of unemployment compensation benefits and the collection of unemployment taxes. National activities relating to the Federal-State
unemployment insurance programs are conducted through

contracts or agreements with the State agencies. Contingency
funds are available only to meet increases in the costs of
administration resulting from changes in State law, or increases in the number of claims filed and claims paid. Funding is requested to improve the quality of the unemployment
insurance wage records in the National Directory of New
Hires (NDNH). Currently, the Social Security Administration
is unable to verify the validity of many of the social security
numbers in the wage records because it does not have enough
characters in the workers’ names to do the match. The recommended funding would cover the one-time State costs of
converting their computer systems to store longer names. Legislation will be proposed to provide additional administrative
resources for the States to operate their UI programs, as
described in the proposal for the Unemployment Trust Fund
account.

STATE UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
OPERATIONS
(Legislative proposal, not subject to PAYGO)

and 2000 estimates include workload that can be financed from contingency funds.

Employment service.—The public employment service is a
nationwide system providing no-fee employment services to
individuals who are seeking employment and employers who
are seeking workers. State employment service activities are
financed by allotment to States distributed under a demographically based funding formula established under the Wagner-Peyser Act, as amended. Employment service allotments
are funded on a program year basis running from July 1
through June 30 of the following year. The reemployment
needs of unemployed workers who lose their jobs through
no fault of their own and who need extra job finding help
are financed by Reemployment Services grants. These funds
will be distributed to States on a program year basis running
from July 1 through June 30 the following year.
Employment service activities serving national needs are
conducted through specific reimbursable agreements between
the States and the Federal Government under the WagnerPeyser Act, as amended. Funding is also provided for amortization payments for States which had independent retirement
plans prior to 1980 in their State employment service agencies. In this activity, funds are provided for America’s Agricultural Labor Network (AgNet), a new information system that
allows growers to find workers and workers to find employment opportunities that meet their needs.
In order to streamline and improve the alien labor certification processes, the Department is consolidating alien labor
certification functions in the Employment Standards Administration’s (ESA) Wage and Hour Division. All alien labor certification resources formerly budgeted in the Employment and
Training Administration are now reflected in ESA’s budget
request. The request for FY 2000 reflects this transfer.
One-Stop career centers.—These funds will be used to support voluntary State efforts to create a comprehensive system
of One-Stop Career Centers which will provide workers and
employers with quick and easy access to a wide array of
enhanced career development and labor market information
services. Funding for this activity is on a program year basis,
running from July 1 through June 30 of the following year.
Work incentive assistance grants.—These funds will provide
competitive grants to improve access to and coordination of

Legislation will be proposed that would allow the Department of Labor to charge fees to employers that request certifications under the Work Opportunity Tax Credit and the Welfare-to-Work Tax Credit. These fees will be used to cover
the costs of State administration of these programs. Authorizing legislation will be proposed to authorize the collection
and spending of the fee contingent on the appropriations action.
The additional proviso to be included in appropriation language is being proposed in anticipation of the enactment of
authorizing legislation. If the authorizing legislation is enacted, the proviso will reduce the amounts that may be expended from the Employment Security Administration account in the Unemployment Trust Fund provided in the body
of the language so that total resources will not exceed the

This account was initiated as a result of the amendments
to the Emergency Unemployment Compensation law (P.L.
102–164, as amended) which currently provides for general
fund financing for administrative costs related to extended
benefits under the optional, total unemployment rate trigger.
These funds are transferred to a receipt account in the Unemployment Trust Fund (UTF) in order that resources may be
transferred to the Employment Security Administration Account in the UTF for administrative costs.

This account provides repayable advances to the Black
Lung Disability Trust Fund for making payments from that
fund whenever its balances prove insufficient. The funding
requested in this appropriation for FY 2000 is entirely for
Black Lung. This spending authority is presented as authority
to borrow in the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund.
This account also provides advances to several other accounts to pay unemployment compensation to eligible individuals under various Federal and State unemployment compensation laws whenever the balances in the funds prove
insufficient or whenever reimbursements to certain accounts,
as allowed by law, are to be made. Advances made to the
Federal employees compensation account in the Unemployment Trust Fund and to the Federal unemployment benefits
and allowances account are nonrepayable. All other advances
made to the Federal unemployment account and to the Extended unemployment compensation account (both in the Unemployment Trust Fund) are repaid, with interest, to the
general fund of the Treasury.

financed one-half by State payroll taxes and one-half by the
Federal unemployment payroll tax, are also paid. The Federal
tax pays the costs of Federal and State administration of
unemployment insurance and veterans employment services
and 97% of the costs of the employment service.
The Federal employees compensation account provides
funds to States for unemployment compensation benefits paid
to eligible former Federal civilian personnel, Postal Service
employees, and ex-servicemembers. Benefits paid are reimbursed to the Federal employees compensation account by
the various Federal agencies. Any additional resources necessary to assure that the account can make the required
payments to States will be provided from the Advances to
the Unemployment Trust Fund and other funds account.
Both the benefit payments and administrative expenses of
the separate unemployment insurance program for railroad
employees are paid from the unemployment trust fund and
receipts from the tax on railroad payrolls are deposited in
the fund to meet expenses.

The financial transactions of the Federal-State and railroad
unemployment insurance systems are made through the Unemployment Trust Fund. All State and Federal unemployment tax receipts are deposited in the trust fund and invested
in Government securities until needed for benefit payments
or administrative costs. States may receive repayable advances from the fund when their balances in the fund are
insufficient to pay benefits. The fund may receive repayable
advances from the general fund when it has insufficient balances to make advances to States or to pay the Federal share
of extended benefits.
State payroll taxes pay for all regular State benefits. During periods of high State unemployment, extended benefits,

This wholly owned government corporation administers programs of mandatory insurance to prevent loss of pension benefits under covered private, defined-benefit pension plans if
single-employer plans terminate or if multiemployer plans are
unable to pay benefits.
Single-employer program.—The single-employer program
protects about 33 million participants in about 42,000 pension
plans. Under this program a company may voluntarily seek
to terminate its plan, or the PBGC may seek termination
under certain circumstances. The PBGC must seek termination when a plan cannot pay current benefits.
In a ‘‘standard’’ termination, plan assets must be sufficient
to pay all benefits before the plan is allowed to end. That
payment is in the form of an annuity purchased from an
insurance company, or a lump sum payment. After the payment is made, the PBGC guarantee ends. A plan that cannot
pay all benefits may be ended by a ‘‘distress’’ termination,
but only if the employer meets tests proving severe financial
distress; for example, the likelihood that continuing the plan
would force the company to shut down. If the terminated
plan cannot pay at least the PBGC-guaranteed benefits, the
PBGC uses its funds to ensure guaranteed benefits are paid.

Multiemployer program.—The multiemployer insurance program protects about 8.7 million participants in about 2,000
plans. Multiemployer pension plans are maintained under collectively bargained agreements involving unrelated employers,
generally in the same industry. If a PBGC-insured multiemployer plan is unable to pay guaranteed benefits when due,
the PBGC will provide the plan with financial assistance to
continue paying guaranteed benefits, ordinarily in the form
of a loan to the plan. Twenty-four plans are expected to receive assistance in 2000.
Administrative expenses subject to limitation.—Provides for
collection of nearly $1 billion in premiums, accounting and

The Administration will propose legislation to expand pension coverage, improve benefit portability, and strengthen retirement security. Included in the package will be: (1) a new,
simplified, defined-benefit pension plan for small businesses
that is insured by PBGC at a reduced rate; (2) raising the
current guarantee cap on multiemployer pension benefits; (3)
extending PBGC’s ‘‘missing participants’’ program to definedcontribution pension plans and to certain defined-benefit arrangements, such as multiemployer plans; (4) eliminating the
‘‘partial termination’’ rules for multiemployer plans; (5) reducing premium charges for certain new plans; and (6) simplifying the guarantee and allocation rules for owners of businesses.

Enforcement of wage and hour standards.—The Wage and
Hour Division works to obtain and encourage compliance with
the minimum wage, overtime, child labor, and other employment standards under the Fair Labor Standards Act, Migrant
and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act, the Family
and Medical Leave Act, certain provisions of the Immigration
and Nationality Act, the wage garnishment provisions in Title
III of the Consumer Credit Protection Act, and the Employee
Polygraph Protection Act. Prevailing wages are determined
and employment standards enforced under various Government contract wage standards. In 2000 approximately 234,000
persons are expected to be aided under the Fair Labor Standards Act through securing agreements with firms to pay back
wages owed to their workers. In Government contract compliance actions, about 32,000 persons will be aided through securing agreements to pay wages owed to workers. Under the
Migrant and Seasonal Agricultural Worker Protection Act program, approximately 2,500 investigations and 1,000 housing

681

inspections will be completed. In the course of all on-site
investigations, investigators will routinely check for employer
compliance with child labor standards and, in all ‘‘directed’’
(non-complaint) investigations, for compliance with the employment eligibility verification recordkeeping requirements
of the Immigration and Nationality Act. Resources will be
earmarked for Davis-Bacon wage survey/wage determination
reengineering and reinvention in FY 2000. The reengineering
efforts will be substantially completed in 2000. The Budget
maintains resources for the Wage and Hour Division which
are assigned to areas where employment of illegal immigrants
is most prevalent. The targeting of labor standards enforcement efforts in those industries and geographic areas where
unauthorized workers are most prevalent will help to reduce
the economic incentive for such illegal employment practices
and will, in turn, help reduce illegal immigration. In addition,
the Budget provides resources to streamline and reengineer
the alien labor certification process to improve the efficiency
and effectiveness of the program. The reengineered process
will reduce the burden on employers while maintaining strong
U.S. worker protections. FY 1999 and 2000 include fees paid
by employers applying for foreign workers under the H1–
b program.
Federal contractor EEO standards enforcement.—The Office
of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) is responsible for ensuring nondiscrimination in employment based on
race, sex, religion, color, national origin, disability or veteran
status by Federal contractors and subcontractors at 200,000
worksites with a total workforce of 22 million people. It conducts compliance reviews and complaint investigations. It
assures that Federal contractors and subcontractors take affirmative action in the hiring and advancement of minorities
and women under the authority of Executive Orders 11246
and 11375. It enforces the affirmative action and nondiscrimination provisions of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973
and, as an agent of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. It ensures that contractors comply with the provisions of the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974 providing for affirmative action by Federal contractors to employ,
and advance in employment, special disabled and Vietnam
era veterans.
The Budget includes resources to increase compliance by
improving efficiency and customer service in the National
Office and in each of the Regional Offices. The resources
will give added impetus to the technical assistance effort to
assist Federal contractors in understanding the regulatory
requirements. Specific emphasis will continue the assistance
to smaller companies that may not have the expertise to
develop Affirmative Action Programs. In addition, OFCCP will
provide for an equal pay initiative which will enhance compliance efforts in glass ceiling issues as well as focus on discrimination in nontraditional occupations. This initiative is part
of its overall initiative to increase compliance through enhanced compliance assistance. Moreover, OFCCP will maintain reduced reporting requirements for small companies. The
staff will provide grassroots seminars and technical assistance
training sessions for contractors, contracting agencies, government agencies, and constituency groups through continued
development and use of existing information technology. In
2000, approximately 2,722,000 individuals will be directly
aided through 6,539 compliance reviews, 484 complaint investigations, and 3,500 other compliance actions.
Federal programs for workers’ compensation.—Under this
income maintenance activity, the Employment Standards Administration administers the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act, the Longshore and Harbor Workers’ Compensation
Act, and the benefit provisions of the Federal Mine Safety
and Health Act of 1977. These programs ensure that eligible
disabled and injured workers or their survivors receive com-

pensation and medical benefits and a range of services including rehabilitation, supervision of medical care, and technical
and advisory counseling to which they are entitled. Monitoring services are provided with respect to State workers’ compensation laws.
Program direction and support.—This activity includes
planning, personnel management, financial management, and
Federal/State liaison programs, management systems implementation, and data processing operations. Major goals in
2000 will include implementing financial management initiatives; continued efforts to eliminate internal fraud, waste,
and mismanagement; the improvement of management information, automated data processing, and program and fiscal
accountability; and legislative and regulatory improvements.
Labor-management standards.—The Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) collects and discloses union financial reports; audits union financial records and investigates
possible embezzlements of union funds; conducts election investigations; supervises reruns of union officer elections after
court determinations that elections were not conducted in
accordance with the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act; and administers the statutory program to certify
employee protection provisions under various Federally-sponsored transportation programs. In FY 2000, OLMS expects
to process 36,000 reports and conduct a total of 3,793 investigations, audits, and supervised elections.

Legislation will be proposed that would authorize the Secretary of Labor to collect fees from employers for processing
the certification of certain aliens as eligible workers under
the Immigration and Nationality Act. The fee proceeds will
offset the costs of administering and enforcing the alien labor
program, and provide reemployment and training assistance
to U.S. workers who have been dislocated from their jobs.
The additional proviso to be included in appropriation language is being proposed in anticipation of the enactment of
authorizing legislation. If the authorizing legislation is enacted, the proviso will reduce the amounts available under
the Employment Standards Administration heading so that
total resources will not exceed the amount allowed under
the discretionary spending caps. The proviso allows agencies
to spend whatever user fees are collected, possibly more or
possibly less than the estimates in the schedule or the specified reduction in the Employment Standards Administration
expenditures.

Federal Employees’ Compensation Act Benefits.—Under the
Federal Employees’ Compensation Act program, income is replaced if a job injury results in time away from work. Medical
bills arising from compensable job injuries are also paid. Not
all benefits are paid by the program since the first 45 days
of disability are usually covered by keeping injured workers
in pay status with their employing agencies. In 2000, 165,000
injured federal workers or their survivors will file claims;
54,000 will receive long-term wage replacement benefits for
job-related injuries, diseases, or deaths. Most of the costs
of this account are charged back to the employing agencies
of beneficiaries.

Panama Canal Commission Compensation Fund.—This
fund was established to provide for the accumulation of funds
to meet the Panama Canal Commission’s obligations to defray
costs of workers’ compensation which will accrue pursuant
to the Federal Employees’ Compensation Act (FECA). On December 31, 1999, the Commission will be dissolved as set
forth in the Panama Canal Treaty of 1977, and the liability
of the Commission for payments beyond that date will not
end with its termination. The establishment of this fund,
into which funds will be deposited on a regular basis by
the Commission is in conjunction with the transfer of the
administration of the FECA program from the Commission
to the Department of Labor effective January 1, 1989.

Trust Funds—Continued

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

The trust fund consists of all moneys collected from the
coal mine industry under the provisions of the Black Lung
Benefits Revenue Act of 1981, as amended by the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, in the form
of an excise tax on mined coal. These moneys are expended
to pay compensation, medical, and survivor benefits to eligible
miners and their survivors, where mine employment terminated prior to 1970 or where no mine operator can be assigned liability. In addition the fund pays all administrative
costs incurred in the operation of part C of the black lung
program. The fund is administered jointly by the Secretaries
of Labor, the Treasury, and Health and Human Services.
The Benefits Revenue Act provides for repayable advances
to the fund in the event fund resources will not be adequate
to meet program obligations. Such advances are to be repaid
with interest. The outstanding debt at the end of each year
was: 1981, $1,510 million; 1982, $1,793 million; 1983, $2,151
million; 1984, $2,497 million; 1985, $2,833 million; 1986,
$2,884 million; 1987, $2,952 million; 1988, $2,993 million;

Safety and Health Standards.—The safety and health
standards activity provides for the development, promulgation, review and evaluation of occupational safety and health
standards under procedures providing opportunity for public
comment. Before any standard is proposed or promulgated,
a determination is made that: (1) a significant risk of serious
injury or health impairment exists; (2) the standard will reduce this risk; (3) the standard is economically and technologically feasible; and (4) the standard is cost-effective when
compared with alternative regulatory proposals providing
equal levels of protection. Regulatory reform efforts include
consensus-based rulemaking, development of common sense
regulations, rewriting existing standards in plain language,
and regulatory process improvements.
Enforcement.—This activity provides for the enforcement of
workplace standards promulgated under the Occupational
Safety and Health Act of 1970 through the physical inspection
of worksites, and by fostering the voluntary cooperation of
employers and employees. This activity also provides grants
to assist States in administering and enforcing State standards. Programs are targeted to the investigation of claims
of imminent danger and employee complaints, investigation
of fatal and catastrophic accidents, programmed inspections
of firms with injury-illness rates that are above the national
average, and special emphasis inspections for serious safety
and health hazards. OSHA’s enforcement strategy includes
a selective targeting of inspections and related compliance
activities to specific high hazard industries and worksites.
Technical Support.—This activity provides specialized technical expertise and advice in support of a wide range of program areas, including construction, standards setting, variance determinations, compliance assistance, and enforcement.
Areas of expertise include laboratory accreditation, industrial
hygiene, ergonomics, occupational health nursing, occupational medicine, and safety engineering.
Compliance Assistance—Federal.—This activity supports a
variety of employer and employee assistance programs, consistent with OSHA’s partnership initiatives. Outreach activities are conducted, including training and information exchanges and technical assistance to employers requesting
such help. Grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations to
provide employee and employer training programs, targeted
to address specific industry needs for safety and health education. Employers are encouraged to establish voluntary employee protection programs, and Federal agencies are assisted
in implementing job safety and health programs for their
employees. Professional training for compliance personnel and
others with related workplace safety and health responsibilities is conducted at the OSHA Training Institute, and further
training is provided by education centers selected and sanctioned by the institute.
Compliance Assistance—State.—This activity supports 90
percent Federally-funded cooperative agreements with designated State agencies to provide free on-site consultation
to employers upon request. State agencies tailor workplans
to specific needs in each State while maximizing their impact
on injury and illness rates in smaller establishments. These
projects offer a variety of services, including safety and health
program assessment and assistance, hazard identification and
control, and training of employers and their employees.
Statistics.—Information technology, management information and statistical support for OSHA’s programs and field
operations are provided through an integrated data network,
and statistical analysis and review. OSHA administers and

687

maintains the recordkeeping system which serves as the foundation for the BLS survey on occupational injuries and illnesses, provides guidance on recordkeeping requirements to
both the public and private sectors, and develops regulations
along with interpretive publications and materials.
Executive direction and administration.—These activities
include executive direction, planning and evaluation, management support, legislative liaison, interagency affairs, administrative services, and budgeting and financial control.

Enforcement.—The Enforcement strategy in 2000 will be
an integrated approach that links all actions to preventing
occupational injuries and illness. These include inspection of
mines as mandated by the Federal Mine Safety and Health
Act of 1977, special emphasis initiatives that focus on persistent safety and health hazards, promulgation of safety and
health standards, investigation of serious accidents, and onsite education and training assistance. The desired outcome
of these enforcement efforts is to at least maintain or lower
fatality and injury rates.
Assessments.—This activity assesses and collects civil monetary penalties for violations of safety and health standards.
Educational policy and development.—This activity develops
and coordinates MSHA’s mine safety and health education
and training policies, and provides classroom instruction at
the National Academy for MSHA personnel, other governmental personnel, and the mining industry. States provide
mine health and safety training materials, and provide technical assistance through the State Grants program.
Technical support.—This activity applies engineering and
scientific expertise through field and laboratory forensic investigations to resolve technical problems associated with implementation of the Mine Act. Technical support administers
a fee program to approve equipment, materials, and explosives for use in mines and performs field and laboratory audits of equipment previously approved by MSHA. It also collects and analyzes data relative to the cause, frequency, and
circumstances of accidents.
Program administration.—This activity provides for general
administrative functions.
