Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission

Government AdministrationDistrict of Columbia, United States11-50 Employees

The Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission is an independent adjudicative agency within the U.S. government that conducts administrative trials and appellate reviews of disputes arising under the Mine Act. It does not regulate mining or enforce the Mine Act; instead, it resolves legal disputes and determines penalties arising from enforcement actions issued by the Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration. The Commission exists to ensure impartiality in the resolution process.

Headquartered in Washington, DC, the commission operates within the government administration realm and serves parties involved in Mine Act disputes, including mine operators and other stakeholders seeking review of enforcement decisions. Its function is to provide a neutral forum for adjudication rather than direct regulatory activity. In May 2026, reports noted organizational changes, including the departure of a commissioner, layoffs, and the closure of the Pittsburgh office, accompanied by staff reductions.
