Copley appeals the Benefits Review Board’s deci- sion and order affirming the administrative law judge’s denial of black lung benefits pursuant to 30 U.S.C.A. §§ 901-945 (West 1986 & Supp. 2000). Our review of the record discloses that the Board’s decision is based upon substantial evidence and is without revers- ible error. Accordingly, we affirm on the reasoning of the Board.* See Copley v. Director, OWCP, Nos. 97-1389-BLA; 00-0267-BLA (B.R.B. Nov. 14, 2000). We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED * We have considered the recent revisions to the regulations implementing the Black Lung Benefits Act, see Regulations Imple- menting the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969, as amended; 65 Fed. Reg. 79,919 (Dec. 20, 2000), and have determined that the revisions do not affect the outcome of this case. 2
