Procedures for Selection <br /> State Award Category: IMCC member states are eligible to self-nominate for training materials they <br /> have developed, or which have been specifically developed for the state by consultants/contractors who help to <br /> implement the state's mine safety and health training program. Each state is allowed one nomination per year <br /> per category. If the material to be nominated applies to both coal and metal/nonmetal categories, the state may <br /> nominate the same material in both categories in the same year, but the material may only be chosen as the <br /> winner in one category per year. <br /> Industry Award Category: Within the member states of the IMCC, the regulatory authority(RA) is <br /> responsible for nominating up to one candidate for each subcategory where the RA determines a nomination is <br /> warranted. The subcategories include: coal surface, coal underground,metal/nonmetal surface, and <br /> metal/nonmetal underground. The nominee(s) will be chosen by the State RA from a pool of applicants <br /> submitted by mining companies and/or the RA. If the material or program to be nominated applies to both coal <br /> and metal/nonmetal categories, the state may nominate the same material in both categories in the same year, <br /> but the material may only be chosen as the winner in one category per year. <br /> The application for the IMCC Mine Safety and Training Awards shall be in the form of a narrative that <br /> describes the material or program being nominated and the effectiveness of that material or program. For the <br /> industry category, the nominee must also submit the required safety record information(see criteria section). <br /> The application narrative should be comprehensive. Any supplemental or support documentation which <br /> accompanies the narrative should clearly and succinctly relate to the specific criteria for selection. If material is <br /> being nominated (video, print media, PowerPoint presentations, etc.), the material, or a viable link to view the <br /> material online, should accompany the nomination. <br /> The RA from each state will submit their respective nominations to the IMCC Deputy Executive <br /> Director by the stated deadline each calendar year. Subsequently, the IMCC Deputy Executive Director will <br /> convene members of the IMCC Mine Safety and Health Committee during February/March of each year and <br /> select the winners in each category. The selection committee will be composed of up to five members of IMCC <br /> with mine safety and health expertise. <br /> Submission Requirement for Award Nominations <br /> Due to the potential large file sizes of photos, training materials, and the volume of a nomination, please <br /> DO NOT submit them through e-mail. Keep in mind when submitting nominations that the committee will <br /> meet by conference call to choose the award winners. Therefore the nomination materials will need to be <br /> distributed by IMCC to the committee members for their review prior to and during the call. Please submit five <br /> (5) copies of the material being nominated electronically on a CD or flash drive or, if you prefer, for printed <br /> matter you can submit hard copies for us to distribute to the committee members. If the material is a video, <br /> program, or some other media that does not lend itself well to being easily duplicated on a CD or flash drive, <br /> you must provide five(5) copies with the nomination. <br /> Steps in Award Process <br /> January 15, 2017 Date for nominations for the industry category to be submitted by companies to <br /> the State Regulatory Authority. <br /> February 1, 2017 Regulatory Authorities must submit their winners by this date to: <br /> Beth A.
