The Mine Safety and Health Administration ('''MSHA''') is an agency of the United States Department Of Labor which administers the provisions of the Federal Mine Safety And Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) to enforce compliance with mandatory safety and health standards as a means to eliminate fatal accidents; to reduce the frequency and severity of nonfatal accidents; to minimize health hazards; and to promote improved safety and health conditions in the nation's mines. MSHA carries out the mandates of the Mine Act at all mining and mineral processing operations in the United States, regardless of size, number of employees, commodity mined, or method of extraction. The AFL-CIO 's report on the Federal Government's 2006 Budget criticised the administration for MSHA funding levels "insufficient to maintain current program activities" {Link without Title} .
