Botsis, Deputy Executive Director <br /> RE: IMCC 2017 Mine Safety and Health Training Awards; Criteria/Submission <br /> Requirements/Nomination Form <br /> On November 16, 2015, the Interstate Mining Compact Commission(IMCC)member states approved <br /> adoption of a new awards program recognizing excellence in mine safety and health training and materials. The <br /> first annual "Mine Safety and Health Training Awards"were presented during the 2016 Annual Meeting in <br /> Lake Placid,New York. This memo contains information regarding the criteria and nomination submission <br /> requirements in solicitation of nominations for the 2017 awards. The awards will be presented in two main <br /> categories, a state award and an industry award, each including four subcategories: coal surface, coal <br /> underground, metal/nonmetal surface, and metal/nonmetal underground. More information on the criteria, <br /> eligibility and nomination procedures follows. Please read this memo carefully when preparing your <br /> nominations. <br /> All safety training award nominations must be submitted to IMCC by no later than February 1, 2017. <br /> Due to the potential large file sizes of photos, training materials, and the volume of a nomination, please DO <br /> NOT submit them through e-mail. Keep in mind when submitting nominations that the committee will meet <br /> by conference call to choose the award winners. Therefore the nomination materials will need to be distributed <br /> by IMCC to the committee members for their review prior to the call. Please submit five(5) copies of the <br /> material being nominated electronically on a CD or flash drive or, if you prefer, for printed matter you can <br /> submit hard copies for us to distribute to the committee members. If the material is a video,program, or some <br /> other media that does not lend itself well to being easily duplicated on a CD or flash drive, you must provide <br /> five(5) copies with the nomination. <br /> The State Mine Safety and Health Training Award nominations will be self-nominated by the state. For <br /> the industry training awards, nominations will be handled similarly to how nominations are made for IMCC's <br /> Annual Reclamation Awards. Companies may self-nominate to the state regulatory authority(RA), and the <br /> state RA may then choose to nominate up to one(1)nomination from those received in each of the four <br /> subcategories per year to IMCC. In order to encourage greater participation in the awards program, we <br /> 1 <br />
