Summary of Decision Granting a

Petition for Modification

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health

Administration (MSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice of affirmative decision

issued by the Administrator for Coal

Mine Safety and Health on a petition for

modification of the application of a

mandatory safety standard.

SUMMARY: Under section 101(c) of the

Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of

1977, the Secretary of Labor may modify

the application of a mandatory safety

standard to a mine if the Secretary

determines either that an alternate

method exists at a specific mine that

will guarantee no less protection for the

miners affected than that provided by

the standard, or that the application of

the standard at a specific mine will

result in a diminution of safety to the

affected miners.

Summaries of petitions received by

the Secretary appear periodically in the

Federal Register. Final decisions on

these petitions are based upon the

petitioner’s statements, comments and

information submitted by interested

persons, and a field investigation of the

conditions at the mine. MSHA has

granted the request for modification

submitted by the petitioner listed below.

In some instances, the decisions are

conditioned upon compliance with

stipulations stated in the decision.
