          NIOSH Docket Number 210
        In 1995 NIOSH published a major review and report of recommendations, entitled Criteria for a Recommended Standard – Occupational Exposure to Respirable Coal Mine Dust. This new Current Intelligence Bulletin updates the information on coal mine dust exposures and associated health effects from 1995 to the present. In part, the intent is to determine whether the 1995 recommendations, in this respect, remain valid, and to what extent, if any, modifications or additions are needed to those recommendations. The report does not deal with, nor discuss, issues of sampling and analytical feasibility nor technical feasibility in achieving compliance.

        Charge to Peer Reviewers
        Thank you for agreeing to take the time to review our Current Intelligence Bulletin entitled A review of information published since 1995 on coal mine dust exposures and associated health outcomes. This Current Intelligence Bulletin is intended to summarize information on lung diseases caused by inhalation of coal mine dust that has come available since the publication of the NIOSH Coal Criteria Document (Criteria for a Recommended Standard – Occupational Exposure to Respirable Coal Mine Dust) in 1995. In addition to presenting and reviewing this information, the overall aim of the Current Intelligence Bulletin was to determine if the newer information continues to support the primary conclusions and recommendations made in the 1995 Coal Criteria Document. The charge to the reviewers is then thus:
         1. to assess whether the Current Intelligence Bulletin has fully included all relevant material in its evaluation that is pursuant to its aims;
         2. to evaluate whether the presentation and summarization of that material is fair and unbiased;
         3. to determine whether the overall conclusions are accurate and supportable, including those relating to support for the 1995 conclusions and recommendations;
         4. to evaluate whether the organization and format of the material as presented is satisfactory for the intended purpose.
        The main purpose of this letter is to remind you of the charge for the written review and to provide you with a template. In addition to this letter we are sending, for your convenience, an electronic version of the template in Word. When completed, please return the form to me, either electronically or hard copy by Tuesday, September 14, 2010. For your convenience we have sent you a copy of the 1995 Criteria Document.
        The most important target audience is the Mine Safety and Health Administration, but in addition the United Mine Workers of America, miners, mine operators, the American Lung Association, and other scholars may show interest. The review should address issues of comprehension, scientific accuracy, appropriateness of the material, and depth of scope. The purpose of the review is to obtain opinions that may improve the quality of the Current Intelligence Bulletin document. Comments will be used in our revision of the document.
