DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Mine Safety and Health Administration

Petitions for Modification

The following parties have filed

petitions to modify the application of

mandatory safety standards under

section 101(c) of the Federal Mine

Safety and Health Act of 1977.

1. Mountain Coal Company

[Docket No. M–98–38–C]

Mountain Coal Company, P.O. Box

591, Somerset, Colorado 81434 has filed

a petition to modify the application of

30 CFR 75.380 (d)(4) (escapeways;

bituminous and lignite mines) to its

West Elk Mine (I.D. No. 05–03672)

located in Gunnison County, Colorado.

The petitioner requests a modification

of the standard to allow the width of the

alternate escapeway in the belt entry to

be maintained at a minimum 48 inch

width for a distance of about 20 feet on

the walkway side at each belt drive,

tripper drive, belt brake, belt transfer

point, belt splicing table, and belt takeup unit. The petitioner asserts that

application of the standard would result

in a diminution of safety to the miners.

In addition, the petitioner asserts that

the proposed alternative method would

provide at least the same measure of

protection as would the mandatory

standard.

2. Canyon Fuel Company, LLC

[Docket No. M–98–39–C]

Canyon Fuel Company, LLC, P.O. Box

719, Helper, Utah 84526 has filed a

petition to modify the application of 30

CFR 75.1909(b)(8) (nonpermissible

diesel-powered equipment; design and

performance requirements) to its

Skyline Mine No. 1 (I.D. No. 42–01435),

and its Skyline Mine No. 3 (I.D. No. 42–

01566) located in Carbon and Emery

Counties, Utah. The petitioner requests

a modification of the standard to permit

the use of a device that traps a column

of fluid to hold the brake in the applied

position, provided that when this device

is used, the wheels shall be blocked

against motion through the use of a

wheel block on the downgrade side of

at least one tire. The petitioner asserts

that the proposed alternative method

would provide at least the same

measure of protection as would the

mandatory standard.

3. Canyon Fuel Company, LLC

[Docket No. M–98–40–C]

Canyon Fuel Company, LLC, P.O. Box

719, Helper, Utah 84526 has filed a

petition to modify the application of 30

CFR 75.1913(c)(1) (starting aids) to its

Skyline Mine No. 1 (I.D. No. 42–01435),

and its Skyline Mine No. 3 (I.D. No. 42–

01566) located in Carbon and Emery

Counties, Utah. The petitioner requests

a modification of the standard to permit

the use of volatile fuel starting aids in

areas where permissible equipment is

required, provided that continuous

methane testing is done before the

starting aids are taken into these areas

and during the time that the starting

aids are in use or are present in these

areas. The petitioner states that if greater

than 0.1 percent of methane is detected,

the starting aids would not be taken into

or used in these areas; and that the

starting aids would be removed from the

areas immediately after use. The

petitioner asserts that the proposed

alternative method would provide at

least the same measure of protection as

would the mandatory standard.

4. Island Creek Coal Company

[Docket No. M–98–41–C]

Island Creek Coal Company, 1741

Hilltop Road, Morganfield, Kentucky

42437 has filed a petition to modify the

application of 30 CFR 75.350 (air

courses and belt haulage entries) to its

Ohio No. 11 Mine (I.D. No. 15–03178)

located in Union County, Kentucky. The

petitioner requests that Item No. 4 of the

Proposed Decision and Order for its

previously granted petition be amended

to read as follows: ‘‘Administrative

controls shall be used to minimize the

number and type of pieces of diesel

equipment in the mine and to notify

miners on the working section(s) when

diesel equipment with a rating of 50

horsepower or greater is operating in air

currents affecting the section(s) being

ventilated with belt air only. All dieselpowered equipment operated in the

mine shall be provided with a fire

suppression system.’’ The petitioner

asserts that the proposed alternative

method would provide at least the same

measure of protection as would the

mandatory standard.

5. Joliett Coal Company

[Docket No. M–98–42–C]

Joliett Coal Company, 837 East Grand

Avenue, Tower City, Pennsylvania

17980 has filed a petition to modify the

application of 30 CFR 75.332(b)(1) and

(b)(2) (working sections and working

places) to its No. 3 Vein Slope (I.D. No.

36–08702) located in Schuylkill County,

Pennsylvania. The petitioner proposes

to use air passing through inaccessible

abandoned workings and additional

areas, which is not examined under

other mandatory standards and is

currently mixing with the air in the

intake haulage slope, to ventilate the

only active working section; to ensure

air quality by sampling intake air during

preshift and on-shift examinations; and

to suspend mine production when air

quality fails to meet specified criteria.

The petitioner asserts that the proposed

alternative method would provide at

least the same measure of protection as

would the mandatory standard.

6. Joliett Coal Company

Joliett Coal Company, 837 East Grand

Avenue, Tower City, Pennsylvania

17980 has filed a petition to modify the

application of 30 CFR 75.340

(underground electrical installations) to
