very short trips to haul trucks or other forms of equipment used purely for haulage. While both LHDs and front-end loaders have a hydraulically operated digging and lifting bucket on the front, the similarities between the two pieces of equipment end there.

(2) The configuration of the two types of equipment is also strikingly different. In general, the operator’s compartment of a front-end loader sits directly behind the scoop or bucket, facing forward to facilitate the equipment’s sole mission of picking up multiple loads for the purpose of transferring them to haulage equipment. The operator’s cab of a typical LHD is located in the middle of the machine to facilitate the equipment taking a single scoop or bucket load and then tramming in the opposite direction to a dump point. The midships positioning of the operator’s cab on an LHD is intended to allow it to haul comparatively long distances in narrow areas where it is often unable to turn the machine around before initiating the haul. In this configuration the operator sits sideways, maximizing his ability to see where he is going when traveling in either direction.

(3) Although the standard clearly applies to front-end loaders used in surface operations, when discussing the standard for backup alarms, 30 CFR 57.14132 explicitly mentions and exempts load, haul, dump vehicles from that standard by name; [the back-up alarm/horn requirement] is applicable to surface mines and surface areas of underground mines only, because the construction of load, haul, dump vehicles generally used underground is such that the view to the rear is less likely to be obstructed. If 30 CFR 57.14106(a) was meant to apply to LHDs, the standard would have specifically referenced this type of equipment.

The petitioner asserts that application of the existing standard would result in diminution of safety to the miners.

Dated: July 12, 2013. George F. Triebsch, Director, Office of Standards, Regulations and Variances.
