AOLLUN SENERAL ' -5>P TI4'JNITEC STATUS WAEa IN ONa . 0.C. 20U40 DATE: Noyagber B, imn MATTER OF: Grant proposal for emergency medical technician training for coal miners Mining Enforcement. and Safety Administration has authority under 30, U.S.C. § 951(i)(1970)(seccion 501(a) of Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969) to make grant to union for study, ceseerch, experiment, or demonstration project for emergency medical technician training programs for coal miners. Proposed program is sufficiently closely related to coal mine safety (as opposed to health) to be %ithin jurisdiction of Department of Interior which'under section 951 is responsible for safety matters. This decision responds to a requeit by the Deputy Under Se.2etary of Interior for our opinion whether there is authority under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended (the Act), 30 U,S.C. §§ 801-960 (1970 and Supp. V 1975), for the Mining Enforcement and Safety Administration (MESA) to fund emetgency medical technician training programs conducted by private parties or organizations. United Mine Workers of America (UNWA) has proposed that MESA, which has been delegated certain of the authorities of the Secretary of the Interior under the Act, fund such a program, to be administered by UMWA. LMWA would.use the grant to train miners to provide emergency medical treatment to injured or sick fellow miners until professional medi al' 'atzhent is available. The ultimate goal of the' program ward'b - place at least one trained man per shift at eich union-organiz Sie, but the present proposal is appsrently for a prototype or d tonstration program. MESA believes that the UNWA concept is meritorious and would like to carry it out on either a grant or contract basis if it is authorized to do so. 30'U.S.C. § 951(a) authorizes the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW), as ap- propriate, to conduct studies, research, experiments, and demonstra- tions for certain enumerated purposes, a3 well as for such other - 1 - I1.
