Final rule; technical amendments.
Summary
The new rule updates the language of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission’s “Government in the Sunshine Act” regulations to show that the Office of the General Counsel, rather than the Office of the Executive Director, now administers those provisions. The change is purely technical—it corrects the agency’s internal naming so the regulations accurately reflect current responsibilities. The rule was issued by the Federal Mine Safety and Health Review Commission, an independent agency that oversees legal disputes involving mine safety and health. It affects the Commission’s own staff and any parties who interact with its Sunshine Act processes, such as mining companies, labor groups, and the public who may attend Commission meetings. The final rule was published in the Federal Register on September 9, 2026 (91 FR 57258) and became effective the same day. Because the amendment is only a clarification of internal references, no further public comment period or additional actions are required; the Commission will simply begin using the revised terminology in its operations.
