U S District Judge Aubrey E Robinson Jr voided more than 25 million dollars in penalties imposed on coal mine operators under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969. The National Independent Coal Operators Association hailed the decision as a victory for small and medium operators, saying penalties forced many mines to close. The suit argued the bureau did not follow the act and ignored mine size and ability to pay, affecting Appalachian and some western operators.
