diesel-powered equipment; design and 

performance requirements) to its Willow 

Lake Mine (MSHA I.D. No. 11–030054) 

located in Saline County, Illinois. The 

petitioner proposes to operate its 

Getman RDG–1504S Road Builder as it 

was originally designed, without front 

wheel brakes. The petitioner states that 

the Getman Road Builder has six (6) 

wheels and a dual brake system on the 

four (4) rear wheels and is designed to 

prevent a loss of braking due to a single 

component failure. In addition, the 

petitioner will limit the speed of the 

equipment to 10 miles per hour; provide 

training to the operators to recognize 

appropriate speeds for different road 

conditions and slopes; and provide 

training for the operators to lower the 

grader blade to provide additional 

stopping capability. The petitioner 

asserts that the proposed alternative 

method would provide at least the same 

measure of protection as the existing 

standard.
