Report: Final Report
Abstract:
Report
describes statistical methodology for determining successes, problems and
trends in
enforcement of surface mining regulatory programs. Report provides
basic
information necessary to evaluate overall conformance of state to its
approved
program. Report does not address
statistical sampling of permit
applications
or bond release applications. Sampling
related to permit and bond
release,
and applications of sampling methodology to specific investigations
will be
provided in subsequent reports with application of sampling method to
specific
investigations.

RECOMMENDATIONS
ON USE OF OSM INSPECTION DATABASE. TASK IV REPORT (1981). 22 pp.
Performing
Organization Name and Address:
Applied Systems Institute, Inc., Washington, DC 20005
Type of
Report: Final Report
Abstract:
The
role and extent of inspection programs in maintenance of U.S. environmental
quality
in the mining sector is in flux. Users
of the existing database on
assessment
of State inspection programs should proceed with caution. The
magnitude
of past changes (several types) and likelihood of further extensive
change
suggest that analyses using this database as a foundation are best
conducted
by using distributional methods. If
these methods are employed, the
database
can be an effective tool in concentrating the limited Federal
inspection
resources in those areas with greatest probability of need.

Type of

Abstract:
Report
includes discussion of problem, a review of data collection efforts and
proposed
solution. Data available in field
preclude development of mathematical
optimization
program for inspector scheduling.
Increased inspector productivity
can be
obtained by developing heuristic procedures to facilitate allocation of
inspection
time resources. Satisficing solution to
the scheduling problem can
be
obtained and reduced to form amenable to manual computation. Chap 1:
