Sec. 45.1  Scope and purpose.

    This part sets forth information requirements and procedures for 
independent contractors to obtain an MSHA identification number and 
procedures for service of documents upon independent contractors. 
Production-operators are required to maintain certain information for 
each independent contractor at the mine. The purpose of this rule is to 
facilitate implementation of MSHA's enforcement policy of holding 
independent contractors responsible for violations committed by them and 
their employees.
