MSHA is associated with which CFR part?

• A. 27 CFR
• B. 29 CFR
• C. 30 CFR
• D. 49 CFR

Answer: (C)

Mining safety and health rules are codified in 30 CFR. MSHA, the agency responsible for enforcing mine safety and health standards, writes and enforces these regulations for both coal and metal/nonmetal mines. That makes 30 CFR the part of the Code of Federal Regulations most closely associated with MSHA. In contrast, 27 CFR deals with alcohol, tobacco, and firearms; 29 CFR covers OSHA general safety and health standards for other workplaces; and 49 CFR governs transportation.
