(1)Citations for S violations;
(2)Orders under section 104(b) of the Mine Act for not abating S violations;
(3)Citations and withdrawal orders under section 104(d) of the Mine Act, resulting from the mine operator's unwarrantable failure to comply;
(4)Imminent danger orders under section 107(a) of the Mine Act;
(5)Orders under section 104(g) of the Mine Act requiring withdrawal of miners who have not received training and who MSHA declares to be a hazard to themselves and others;
(6)Enforcement measures, other than section 104(e) of the Mine Act, that have been applied at the mine;
(7)Other information that demonstrates a serious safety or health management problem at the mine, such as accident, injury, and illness records; and
(8)Mitigating circumstances.
