Please explain increases and decreases in personal services, current expenses, repairs and alterations, assets, other costs and revenues, including assumptions and data sources and delineation between start-up and ongoing costs.

The Board of Coal Mine Health and Safety’s personal services will decrease to $0.00. The Office of Miners’ Health, Safety and Training (OMHST) projects a need to add one additional employee at a cost of $52,135.00.
