§ 722.151 - Removal from the Secretary's list.  


Latest version.
  • At any time after a State's workmen's compensation law has been included on the Secretary's list such State's law may be removed from the list if it appears that under such law adequate coverage for total disability or death due to pneumoconiosis is not being provided. Such removal action shall be taken only after notice and an opportunity to be heard has been afforded such State. In the event a State's workmen's compensation law is removed from the Secretary's list the consequences of such removal on claims for pneumoconiosis benefits filed in that State shall be determined by the Secretary.
