   The Governor's Commission on Abandoned Mine Voids and Mine Safety (Commission) has scheduled two public hearings to assist the Commission in gathering information to develop recommendations on improvements to underground mining practices and miner safety within this Commonwealth. The Commission's mission, as established by Executive Order No. 2002-10, is ''to investigate and document the hazards posed by abandoned mine voids, in particular the flooding of adjacent operating mines, and to make recommendations regarding the accurate location of voids and avoidance of other hazards associated with mining.''

   The hearings will be held at the Ramada Inn, 215 Ramada Dr., Somerset, PA. The first hearing will be held Tuesday, October 22, 2002, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. and the second hearing will be held Wednesday, October 23, 2002, at 9 a.m. Members of the public may present relevant testimony at either hearing.
