Exhibit 95
MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURE
TECO Coal’s subsidiaries operate mining complexes that are subject to regulation by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) under the U.S. Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the Mine Act). MSHA inspects TECO Coal mines on a regular basis and issues various citations and orders when it believes that a violation of the Mine Act, any health or safety standard, or any regulation has occurred. Set forth below is information regarding certain mining safety and health orders and citations issued by MSHA and related assessment and legal actions and mine-related fatalities with respect to TECO Coal’s mining operations. In evaluating this information, consideration should be given to factors such as: (i) the number of citations and orders will vary depending on the size and type (underground or surface) of the coal mine, (ii) the number of citations and orders issued will vary from inspector to inspector, and (iii) citations and orders can be contested and appealed, and as part of that process, may be reduced in severity and amount, and are sometimes dismissed.
For purposes of reporting regulatory matters under Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, the following table sets forth the total number of specific citations and orders issued by MSHA under the Mine Act, along with the total dollar value of the proposed civil penalty assessment, and the total number of fatalities during the current reporting period for each TECO Coal subsidiary that is acting as a coal mine operator, by individual mine. Information relating to the aggregate number of legal actions pending, initiated and resolved during the reporting period is also reported below for each of the mines.
