MSHA Civil Penalty Dockets and Decisions

Lists civil penalty dockets both in the litigation process and those that received an ALJ/Commission Settlement Approval or Decision. Includes the original proposed penalty amount as well as the decision amount, if the decision is recorded. Violations at a mine for a specific violator are bundled together into billing statements referred to as Assessment Cases (assess case no). Each Assessment Case may be associated to one or more docket numbers. Excluded from this dataset are discrimination dockets and agent/miner dockets.
