[Date Due] 8/3/2012 [Status] Completed [Corrective Action Taken] PEIR collaborated with Coal to modify the Mine Plan Approval (MPA) database system to track operator responses to MSHA requests for plan revisions. The modifications were deployed on August 3, 2012. On August 30, 2012, the Administrator for Coal directed district managers to use the MPA database system to identify overdue responses from operators and take appropriate actions. NOTE: The recommendation also provided that the Administrator for Coal should direct District 4 and 12 managers to develop and follow a process for ensuring that operators submit revised plans when requested, and taking appropriate enforcement actions when operators fail to do so. This recommendation was satisfied by PEIR's development of the online tool for use by districts for tracking plan due dates. [Recommendation] 
The Director of PEIR should collaborate with the Administrator for Coal to revise the Mine Plan Approval (MPA) database system to track operator responses to MSHA requests for plan revisions. The Administrator should direct district managers to use MPA to identify overdue responses from operators and take appropriate actions.
