[These are not toll-free numbers.] 

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 

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. 

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–2024–089–C. 

Petitioner: Mingo Logan Coal, LLC, 

Sharples, WV 25183. 

Mine: Mountaineer II Mine, MSHA ID 

No. 46–09029, located in Logan County, 

West Virginia. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.507– 

1(a), Permissible electric equipment. 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of 30 CFR 

75.507–1(a) to allow the use of an 

alternative method of respirable dust 

protection. Specifically, the petitioner is 

requesting to use the 3M Versaflo TR– 

800 Intrinsically Safe Powered Air 

Purifying Respirator (PAPR) and the 

CleanSpace EX PAPR in return air outby 

the last open crosscut. 

The petitioner states that: 

(a) Mountaineer II Mine has 

previously used the 3M Airstream 

Headgear-Mounted PAPR System to 

provide additional protection for its 

miners against exposure to respirable 

coal mine dust. There are clear longterm health benefits from using such 

technology. One of the benefits of 

PAPRs is that they provide a constant 

flow of air inside the headtop or helmet. 

This constant airflow helps to provide 

both respiratory protection and comfort 

in hot working environments. 

(b) 3M elected to discontinue the 3M 

Airstream helmet, replacing it with the 

3M Versaflo TR–800, which benefits 

from additional features and reduced 

weight. Because of its reduced weight, 

it provides significant ergonomic 

benefits. 

(c) For more than 40 years the 3M 

Airstream has been used by many mine 

operators to help protect their workers. 

During those years there have been 

technological advancements in products 

and services for industrial applications. 

3M indicated that they faced multiple 

key component supply disruptions for 

the Airstream product line that created 

issues with providing acceptable supply 

service levels. Because of those issues, 

3M discontinued the Airstream in June 

2020, and that discontinuation was 

global. 

(d) 3M announced that February 2020 

was the final time to place an order for 

systems and components and that June 

2020 was the final date to purchase 

Airstream components. 

(e) Currently there are no replacement 

3M PAPRs that meet applicable MSHA 

standards for permissibility. Electronic 

equipment used in underground mines 

in potentially explosive atmospheres are 

required to be approved by MSHA in
