RareBooksClub. Paperback. New. This item is printed on demand. Paperback. 34 pages. LC Number: KF32 . S39 2007v OCLC Number: (OCoLC)180918669 Subject: Mine communication systems -- Research -- United States. Excerpt: . . . 15 tute of Standards and Technology ( NIST ) to promote development of innovative com-munications and tracking technologies for underground mines. To be clear, this bill does not in any way diminish the role of the National Insti-tute for Occupational Safety and Health ( NIOSH ). NISTs efforts to promote im-proved communications technology through R and D and technical standards support NIOSHs important work. Historically, NIST has worked with industry and federal agencies on long-term R and D projects and development of technical standards, including first responder radio communications, and is the best agency to bridge the research and technology gap in the field of mine communications. Finally, we will also consider H. R. 1834, introduced by our colleague on the Nat-ural Resources Committee, Rep. Saxton. The National Ocean Exploration and Na-tional Undersea Research Program Act formally authorizes two programs at NOAA that have made important contributions to our knowledge of the oceans and devel-oped technologies that enable us to explore these vast areas of our planet. Once again the Committee has three good bills in front of it which address three different, but critical issues. And once again, we are marking up both Republican and Democratic bills, be-cause as I have said before, good ideas are good ideas regardless of where they come from. I urge my colleagues to support each of these good bills. ALL Mr. H. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As you very ably pointed out, I am pleased, and our side of the docket is pleased that this committee is marking up three good bills today. H. R. 2406 will certainly help clarify and codify NISTs role in the integration of health information technology. NIST has played a very important role in health information technology through their work with the Department of Health and Human Serv. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub<
