CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — The Trump administration is dropping plans to terminate leases for 34 offices in the Mine Safety and Health Administration. A Department of Labor spokesperson confirmed the move Thursday within the agency responsible for enforcing mine safety laws. Earlier this year, the Department of Government Efficiency, created by President Donald Trump, had targeted federal agencies for spending cuts. That included terminating leases for three dozen MSHA offices. Some MSHA offices are still listed on the chopping block on the DOGE website, but the Labor Department statement did not indicate whether those closings will move forward. MSHA is required to inspect underground mines quarterly and surface mines twice a year.
