SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and 

Health Act of 1977 and Title 30 of the 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

44 govern the application, processing, 

and disposition of petitions for 

modification. 

I. Background 

Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act) allows the mine operator or 

representative of miners to file a 

petition to modify the application of any 

mandatory safety standard to a coal or 

other mine if the Secretary of Labor 

(Secretary) determines that: 

1. An alternative method of achieving 

the result of such standard exists which 

will at all times guarantee no less than 

the same measure of protection afforded 

the miners of such mine by such 

standard; or 

2. The application of such standard to 

such mine will result in a diminution of 

safety to the miners in such mine. 

3. In addition, sections 44.10 and 

44.11 of 30 CFR establish the 

requirements for filing petitions for 

modification. 

II. Petition for Modification 

Docket Number: M–2021–005–M. 

Petitioner: U.S. Silica Company, 

Pacific Plant, 819 Osage Street, MO 

63039. 

Mine: Pacific Plant, MSHA ID No. 23– 

00544, located in Franklin County, 

Missouri. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 56.13020 

(Use of compressed air).

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 31 / Tuesday, February 15, 2022 / Notices 8611 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard, 30 CFR 56.13020, as it relates 

to the use of compressed air. The 

alternative method provides a direct 

reduction of a miner’s exposure to 

respirable dust, thus reducing health 

risks while providing no less a degree of 

safety than that provided by the 

standard. 

The petitioner proposes the following 

alternative method: 

1. The proposed alternative method 

has been developed jointly between 

Unimin Corporation and the National 

Institute for Occupational Safety and 

Health (NIOSH) and has been 

successfully tested by NIOSH. The 

system consists of four major 

components: A cleaning booth, an air 

spray manifold, an air reservoir, and an 

exhaust ventilation system. 

2. The petitioner will use a clothes 

cleaning booth, CCB Elite I & II, serial 

number 5405, manufactured by S.K. 

Bowling, Inc. 

3. Only miners trained in the 

operation of the clothes cleaning booth 

(booth) will be permitted to use the 

booth to clean their clothes. 

4. The petitioner will incorporate the 

NIOSH Clothes Cleaning Process and 

manufacturer’s instruction manuals into 

their MSHA Part 46 Training Plan and 

train affected miners in the process. 

5. Miners entering the booth shall 

examine valves and nozzles for damage 

or malfunction and will close the door 

fully before opening the air valve. Any 

defects shall be repaired prior to the 

booth being used. 

6. Miners entering the booth will wear 

eye protection, earplugs or muffs for 

hearing protection, and respiratory 

protection meaning a full-face or 

halfmask respirator that meets or 

exceeds the minimum requirements of 

an N95 filter to which the miner has 

been fit-tested. As an alternative, the use 

of a full-face respirator will also meet 

the requirement for eye protection. A 

conspicuously posted sign will 

announce the required personal 

protective equipment for entering the 

booth. 

7. Airflow through the booth will be 

at least 2,000 cubic feet per minute 

(cfm) to maintain negative pressure 

during use of the cleaning system in 

order to prevent contamination of the 

environment outside the booth. Airflow 

will be in a downward direction, thus 

moving contaminants away from the 

miner’s breathing zone. 

8. Air pressure through the spray 

manifold will be limited to 30 pounds 

per square inch or less. A lock box with 

a single, plant manager-controlled key, 

will be used to prevent tampering of the 

pressure regulator. 

9. The air spray manifold will consist 

of schedule 80, steel pipe that has a 

failure pressure of 1,300 pounds per 

square inch. It will be capped at the 

base and actuated by an electrically 

controlled ball valve at the top. 

10. Air nozzles must not exceed 30 

pound(s) per square inch gauge. 

11. The uppermost spray of the spray 

manifold will be located below the 

booth user’s breathing zone. A 

mechanical device can be used to cover 

the upper air nozzles to meet the 

specific height of the user. 

12. Air nozzles shall be guarded to 

eliminate the possibility of incidental 

contact, which could create mechanical 

damage to the air nozzles during the 

clothes cleaning process. 

13. The petitioner shall conduct 

periodic maintenance checks of the 

booth in accordance with the 

recommendations contained in the 

manufacturer’s instruction manual. 

14. The air receiver tank supplying air 

to the manifold system will be of 

sufficient volume to permit no less than 

20 seconds of continuous cleaning time. 

15. An appropriate hazard warning 

sign will be posted on the booth to state, 

at a minimum, ‘‘Compressed Air’’ and 

‘‘Respirable Dust.’’ 

16. A pressure relief valve design for 

the booth’s air reservoir will be 

installed. 

17. The mine will exhaust dust-laden 

air from the booth into a local exhaust 

ventilation system or duct outside the 

facility while ensuring there is no 

reentrainment back into the structure. 

The petitioner asserts that the 

alternate method proposed will at all 

times guarantee no less than the same 

measure of protection afforded the 

miners under the mandatory standard.
