Introduction

This guidance is provided to ensure that all field personnel comply with the regulations as found at 30 CFR 250.803(c) (1) and 30 CFR 250.1004 (c). INCs issued against these regulations could result in significant civil penalties, and if found to be a deliberate violation, could escalate into a criminal violation; however, of greater concern is the potential negative ramifications of the safety and health of our personnel.
