SECTION 1.GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1Purpose of the Handbook
The objective of this handbook is to provide a synopsis of the data available to the general public concerning mining Address/ Employment and Accident/Injury information collected under Title 30 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 50 and to give the detailed specifications needed by the computer system analysts and programmers to utilize the file(s).
1.2Use of the Handbook
This handbook is divided into the following sections:
a.General Information - An overview of the data available.
b.Detail File Descriptions - Record layout for each file and a description of the data elements.
c.Data Element Codes and Descriptions - A detail description of possible values for certain data elements.
Any figures pertaining to a section will be at the end of each section. Some figures may therefore be duplicated from section to section.
1.3Data Abstracts
The Directorate of Program Evaluation and Information Resources (PEIR), InformationTechnologyCenter located in Denver, Colorado is responsible for the Mine Safety and Health Administration’s (MSHA) collection, utilization and dissemination of mining information relating to accident, injury, occupational illness, and employment. As a part of this responsibility, these files are available from MSHA’s Home Page on the Internet.
For the current calendar year and for the most recent prior year, preliminary quarterly data files may be obtained. For data on years prior to those mentioned above, the final closed-out data is the only available.
Part 50 data files are separated by Coal and Metal/Nonmetal. The Metal/Nonmetal file contains all non-coal commodities under MSHA jurisdiction i.e., most stone, sand and gravel, metal and nonmetal mines. The following sections contain summaries of each major type of data file. See Figure 1.1 for a chart of the available files.
1.3.1Address/Employment Files
These files contain the Part 50 mailing address of the mine operator, the quarterly employment and production (coal only) reported by operational subunits, and other information needed to identify the location, status and type of operation.
In 1983 contractors were permitted to report employment on a nation-wide basis within Coal or Metal/Nonmetal. Two quarterly employment and production reports are required from a contractor working in both categories. Beginning in 1983 contractor information is only available on a separate file.
1.3.2Accident/Injury Files
These files contain coded information pertaining to each accident, illness, or injury reported to MSHA. Contractor information was separated from mine information in 1983, because of employment reporting changes.
1.3.3Narrative Files
These files contain only those narratives associated with specific accidents/injuries for a particular year. Contractor information was separated from mine information in 1983, because of employment reporting changes.
1.3.4Master Index File (MIF)
The Master Index File (MIF) contains all mine IDs issued by MSHA for mines active or opened since 1971.
1.4Data File Procurement
These files are available from the Internet. Section 1.4.3 gives a detail description.
1.4.1Data File Information
Data files provided will have the following fixed characteristics:
Each data file is in a compressed mode. To expand files into an MS-DOS ASCII text file, use the following procedure:
- Download by going to and selecting Part 50 Data from the Statistics portion of the page. The file should be downloaded to a drive that has the capacity to hold the expanded file plus the compressed file. Listed below is an estimate of the amount of disk space needed for each type of file.
- The XXXXXXXX.EXE file is a self-extracting file. To restore the original MS-DOS ASCII text file, enter the name of the .EXE file. For example if the file name is CAIM2007.EXE, enter CAIM2007 at the MS-DOS prompt. Another choice is to double click on the file and it will expand to a text file.
The following is an estimate of disk space needed for the expanded files using the maximum size from 1988 through 1991 4th quarter data:

SECTION 2.ADDRESS/EMPLOYMENT FILES
2.1Mine Address/Employment
Files containing Mine Address/Employment information are a fixed length of 876 characters per record. This data is written sequentially, in order by the first fourteen characters of each record (Mine ID and Contractor ID).
2.2Mine ID Number
A mine identification number (ID) is a seven digit number assigned to a specific mine. The first two digits identify the state in which a mine is located and the next five digits are sequentially ascending numbers within a state regardless of whether it is a coal or metal/nonmetal mine. Once a mine is assigned an ID number, it carries that number from that time on whether active or abandoned and regardless of change in ownership. That mine ID number is not given again to another mine. Mine ID numbers are assigned by MSHA district offices.
2.3Contractor ID Numbers
A contractor is assigned one ID number that is used for identification when work is performed. Contractor ID numbers are assigned by MSHA district offices. A contractor ID can be up to seven characters. Injuries must provide the seven-digit mine ID where the injury occurred along with the contractor ID number.
2.4Address Updates
The inspector has the responsibility for determining that a mine exists. All additions and changes to both the coal and metal/ nonmetal address files are made by either the district offices or the Information Technology Center (ITC).
2.5Limitations on File Content
2.5.1Annual Removal
It is MSHA’s policy to remove all mines and contractors from Part 50 address files if the district responsible has placed either the mine or the contractor in a permanently abandoned status prior to initialization of the next year’s files.
2.5.2Contractors
Address records for contractors, because they contain all Coal or Metal employment nationwide, contain the following constant information:
Mine ID0000000
Inspection Office 9998
State Code98
CountyCode 998
SIC 99998
Canvass or Class 9
Mine Type14
Work Group00
2.6FIPSState and CountyCodes
Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) state codes (see Figure 2.1) are not the same numeric state codes assigned by MSHA as the first two digits of the mine ID number. FIPS state codes have been assigned in alphabetical order by states. The FIPS state code appears on the files but is computer generated. All counties are assigned the FIPS code number and are not computer generated. See FIPS PUB. 6-3 for the FIPS CountyCodes.

SUBUNIT OPERATIONS CODE
The subunit operations code indicates the type of mining operations conducted at the mine. A maximum of four subunit operations codes may be assigned to one mine or a maximum of nine may be assigned to a contractor. Only specified combinations will be permitted. Employment and accident/injury/illness data will be segregated according to this code.
