The federal Mine Safety and Health Administration has stopped publishing data tied to inspections of sites with repeated violations.
Assistant Secretary of Labor for Mine Safety and Health Wayne Palmer told a House panel last week that the data is no longer publicly available.
“To the best of my knowledge, we do not publish those under the current administration,” Palmer told the House Education & the Workforce Subcommittee on Workforce Protections.

Palmer, a former Capitol Hill aide and a veteran of the first Trump administration, said the decision not to make public results of “targeted inspections” predated his time with MSHA.
