Form 5000-41 allows mining operators to report to MSHA the names of persons who have satisfactorily completed required mine foreman and hoisting training. MSHA uses the information to issue certification/qualification cards to those persons who are certified/qualified. The mine operator also uses the Form to submit an application to certify miners to perform specific required examinations and test, or to qualify miners as hoisting engineers or hoist men, in States without certification programs. The Qualification and Certification Unit then mails the applicant a certificate. This certification satisfies the law where State certification programs are not available. Ira L. Mills, Departmental Clearance Officer. [FR Doc. 05-3492 Filed 2-23-05; 8:45 am]
