MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED: The Commission will consider and act upon the 
following:
    1. Secretary of Labor v. Austin Powder Co., Docket No. YORK 95-57-
M. (Issues include whether (1) substantial evidence supports the 
judge's credibility-based determination that the operator violated 30 
CFR Sec. 56.15005, and whether the violation was significant and 
substantial; (2) in the absence of a finding of unwarrantable failure 
on the part of the operator, the judge could find its foreman liable 
under the Mine Act section 110(c) for the violation, and whether 
substantial evidence supports that finding; and (3) despite the 
vacation of the unwarrantable failure finding, the judge could leave 
unreduced his penalty assessment against the operator, and whether 
substantial evidence supports his finding of high negligence.)
    Any person attending an open meeting who requires special 
accessibility features and/or auxiliary aids, such as sign language 
interpreters, must inform the Commission in advance of those needs.
