Portuguese term or phrase: disciplina responsável
This phrase keeps appearing in a mining estimate.
I was translating it as 'the responsible party', but I am not 100% certain if this is correct?

English translation:responsible area/department
Explanation:
It seems to me that the "disciplina responsável" must refer to the people or department responsible for each subject/area of the estimate. They would be the appropriate people to quantify what equipments are needed.

The word "disciplina" is being used to mean the people that deal with that particular activity or subject. Eg. shaft digging, gallery excavation, face working, rescue operations, etc.
