(1) 

Amounts included are the total dollar value of proposed assessments received from MSHA on or before March 31, 2012 for citations and orders occurring during the three months ended March 31, 2012 regardless of whether the assessment has been challenged or appealed. Citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, are sometimes reduced in severity and amount, and sometimes dismissed. The number of citations, orders, and proposed assessments vary by inspector and also vary depending on the size and type of the operation.
