SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Under section 101(a) of the Federal 

Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the 

Mine Act), the Secretary may by rule in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

this section and in accordance with 

section 553 of title 5, United States Code 

(without regard to any reference in such 

section to sections 556 and 557 of such 

title), develop, promulgate, and revise as 

may be appropriate, improved 

mandatory health or safety standards for 

the protection of life and prevention of 

injuries in coal or other mines. In 

addition, section 303 requires that all 

underground coal mines be ventilated 

by mechanical ventilation equipment 

installed and operated in a manner 

approved by an authorized 

representative of the Secretary and such 

equipment be examined daily and a 

record be kept of such examination. 

Underground coal mines usually 

present harsh and hostile working 

environments. The ventilation system is 

the most vital life support system in 

underground mining and a properly 

operating ventilation system is essential 

for maintaining a safe and healthful 

working environment. Lack of adequate 

ventilation in underground mines has 

resulted in fatalities from asphyxiation 

and explosions.

20016 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 71 / Tuesday, April 14, 2015 / Notices 

An underground mine is a maze of 

tunnels that must be adequately 

ventilated with fresh air to provide a 

safe environment for miners. Methane is 

liberated from the strata, and noxious 

gases and dusts from blasting and other 

mining activities may be present. The 

explosive and noxious gases and dusts 

must be diluted, rendered harmless, and 

carried to the surface by the ventilating 

currents. Sufficient air must be provided 

to maintain the level of respirable dust 

at or below specific exposure limits and 

air quality must be maintained in 

accordance with the Mine Safety and 

Health Administration (MSHA) 

standards. Mechanical ventilation 

equipment of sufficient capacity must 

operate at all times while miners are in 

the mine. Ground conditions are subject 

to frequent changes, thus sufficient tests 

and examinations are necessary to 

ensure the integrity of the ventilation 

system and to detect any changes that 

may require adjustments in the system. 

Records of tests and examinations are 

necessary to ensure that the ventilation 

system is being maintained and that 

changes which could adversely affect 

the integrity of the system or the safety 

of the miners are not occurring. These 

examination, reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements of sections 

75.310, 75.312, 75.342, 75.351, 75.360 

through 75.364, 75.370, 75.371, and 

75.382 also incorporate examinations of 

other critical aspects of the underground 

work environment such as roof 

conditions and electrical equipment 

which have historically caused 

numerous fatalities when not properly 

maintained and operated. 

Section 75.362, On-shift 

Examinations, was revised at subsection 

75.362(a)(2) and (g)(2)–(4) by MSHA’s 

rule titled ‘‘Lowering Miners’ Exposure 

to Respirable Coal Mine Dust, Including 

Continuous Personal Dust Monitors, ’’ 

published May 1, 2014. This rule also 

revised subsection 75.371(f) and (j). 

Subsection 75.362(a)(2) requires that a 

person designated by the operator 

conduct an examination and record the 

results and the corrective actions taken 

to assure compliance with the respirable 

dust control parameters specified in the 

approved mine ventilation plan. 

Under subsection 75.362(g)(2)(i), the 

certified person directing the on-shift 

examination must certify by initials, 

date, and time on a board maintained at 

the section load out or similar location 

showing that the examination was made 

prior to resuming production. No 

increased burden is estimated for 

section 75.362(g)(2)(i) in this 

Information Collection Request (ICR) 

because MSHA does not expect the 

burden to be different from the burden 

in existing section 75.362(g)(2)). 

Under section 75.362(g)(2)(ii), the 

certified person directing the on-shift 

examination must verify, by initials, 

date and time, the record of the results 

of the examination required under 

section 75.362(a)(2) to assure 

compliance with the respirable dust 

control parameters specified in the mine 

ventilation plan. Further, section 

75.362(g)(3) requires a mine foreman or 

equivalent mine official to countersign 

each examination record required under 

section 75.362(a)(2) after it is verified by 

the certified person under section 

75.362(g)(2)(ii), and no later than the 

end of the mine foreman’s or equivalent 

mine official’s next regularly scheduled 

working shift. Section 75.362(g)(2)(ii) 

and (g)(3) are additional burdens that 

are accounted for in this ICR and 

75.362(g)(2)(ii)(4) requires the records 

be retained at a surface location at the 

mine for at least 1 year and shall be 

made available for inspection by 

authorized representatives of the 

Secretary and the representative of 

miners. 

Paragraph (a)(2) in section 75.370 

(Mine ventilation plan; submission and 

approval) contains the burden for 

underground coal mine operators to 

submit mine ventilation plan revisions 

for District Manager approval. Each 

mine ventilation plan must include 

information that is specified by section 

75.371 (Mine ventilation plan; 

contents). 

Section 75.371(f) adds the following 

information that a mine operator must 

include in the mine ventilation plan: the 

minimum quantity of air that will be 

delivered to the working section for 

each mechanized mining unit (MMU), 

and the identification by make and 

model, of each different dust 

suppression system used on equipment 

on each working section, including: (1) 

The number, types, location, 

orientation, operating pressure, and 

flow rate of operating water sprays; (2) 

the maximum distance that ventilation 

control devices will be installed from 

each working face when mining or 

installing roof bolts in entries and 

crosscuts; (3) procedures for 

maintaining the roof bolter dust 

collection system in approved 

condition; and (4) recommended best 

work practices for equipment operators 

to minimize dust exposure. 

Section 75.371(j) adds a requirement 

that for machine mounted dust 

collectors, the ventilation plan must 

include the type and size of dust 

collector screens used and a description 

of the procedures to be followed to 

properly maintain dust collectors used 

on the equipment. 

Section 75.370(a)(2) requires all 

underground coal mine operators to 

submit revisions for mine ventilation 

plans to MSHA. The burden to submit 

the additional information required by 

section 75.371(f) and (j) as proposed 

revisions to the plan is accounted for in 

this package under section 75.370(a)(2). 

In addition, section 75.370(a)(3)(i) 

requires underground coal mine 

operators to notify the miners’ 

representative at least 5 days prior to 

submission of mine ventilation plan 

revisions and, if requested, provide a 

copy of the revisions to the miners’ 

representative at the time of 

notification. Section 75.370(a)(3)(iii) 

and (f)(3) require the operator to post a 

copy of the plan revisions, and section 

75.370(f)(1) requires that the operator 

provide a copy of the revisions to the 

miners’ representative, if requested. 

MSHA assumes that a copy of the 

revisions will be requested. The burdens 

for notification, providing requested 

copies, and posting associated with 

mine ventilation plan revisions 

resulting from section 75.371(f) and (j) 

are accounted for in this package under 

section 75.370(a)(3)(i), (f)(1), (a)(3)(iii), 

and (f)(3) respectively.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FNR 

was operated by the Michigan Memorial 

Phoenix Project (MMPP) at the UM as a 

memorial to students and alumni of the 

UM who served in World War II, 

including the 588 who died in the war. 

The MMPP’s purpose has been to 

encourage and support research on the 

peaceful uses of nuclear energy and its 

social implications. The FNR was used 

by students, faculty and staff of the UM 

and other institutions and entities for 

research, experiments, and education 

classes. The FNR operations provided 

major assistance to a wide variety of 

research and educational programs, 

including neutron irradiation services, 

neutron beam port experimental 

facilities, classes in reactor operations, 

reactor related laboratory work, neutron 

activation analysis, isotope preparation, 

radiochemical preparation, gamma 

irradiation services, neutron 

radiography, testing services, and 

training programs. The licensee ceased 

operation of the facility in July 2003, 

and the fuel was subsequently removed 

in December 2003. The FNR underwent 

decommissioning activities from 2006 

until 2012, followed by Final Status 

Surveys (FSS) in the winter of 2012 to 

assess the final radiological status of the 

facility. 

The licensee submitted a proposed 

Decommissioning Plan (DP) on June 23, 

2004 (ADAMS Package No. 

ML041810586) which was revised on 

January 10, 2006 (ADAMS Package No. 

ML060180411). The NRC approved the 

revised UM DP by Amendment No. 50 

to License R–28, dated June 26, 2006 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML061220260). 

As required by the FNR DP, the UM 

submitted a Final Status Survey Plan 

(FSSP), in letters dated April 8, 2011, 

July 12, 2011, January 20, 2012, June 1, 

2012, July 13, 2012, and September 17, 

2012 (ADAMS Accession Nos. 

ML11119A004, ML11199A009, 

ML12025A125, ML12157A266, 

ML12199A018, and ML12264A562, 

respectively). Additional site 

characterization information for the 

FNR was provided on February 14, 

2012, and September 18, 2012 (ADAMS 

Package No. ML120950629 and ADAMS 

Accession No. ML12264A064). 

By letter dated October 25, 2012 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML12293A302), 

the NRC reviewed the FSSP and 

determined that after a change to one 

paragraph, it was acceptable and 

consistent with the guidance in 

NUREG–1757, ‘‘Consolidated 

Decommissioning Guidance’’ (ADAMS 

Accession No. ML063000243), and 

NUREG–1575, ‘‘Multi-Agency Radiation 

Survey and Site Investigation Manual’’ 

(MARSSIM) (ADAMS Accession No. 

ML082470583). The UM provided the 

modified FSSP with the revised 

paragraph on November 2, 2012 

(ADAMS Accession No. ML12312A130). 

The modification required an additional 

final status survey for three special areas 

of the FNR. 

The UM provided a final status survey 

report (FSSR) which included 

information on the three special FSS
