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. 

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–2022–006–C. 

Petitioner: ICG Beckley, LLC, P.O. Box 

49, Eccles, West Virginia 25836. 

Mine: Beckley Pocahontas Mine, 

MSHA ID No. 46–05252, located in 

Raleigh County, West Virginia. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.312 

(c), Mine Fan Examination and Records. 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

mandatory standard, 30 CFR 75.312 (c), 

as it relates to examination 

requirements. ICG Beckley, LLC is 

requesting a petition for modification 

for the following reasons (1) Beckley 

Pocahontas Mine produces 4.9M cubic 

feet of methane according to the last 

total liberation results and (2) Stopping 

the 2,500 horsepower (HP) motor can 

create unnecessary electrical and 

mechanical wear on the motor.

The petitioner states in lieu of 

shutting the fan down, the following 

measures will be implemented: 

(a) A dispatcher is on duty at all times 

that persons are underground. 

(b) The fan signal is located in the 

dispatcher’s office where it is easily 

heard. 

(c) The existing automatic fan signal 

device is a Circular Chart Recorder. 

(d) The fan signal is activated when 

the fan pressure falls below 3 inches of 

water gauge as measured by the chart 

recorder. 

(e) A back-up fan that provides the 

same quantity of air as the main fan and 

can easily be started is provided and 

ready for use. 

(f) Both the main mine fan and backup fan have operating pressures of 

approximately 6 inches of water gauge 

as measured by the chart recorder. 

(g) A ball valve will be installed in the 

tubing connecting the fan ductwork to 

the chart recorder to permit continuous 

monitoring of the fan pressure while the 

fan is running. 

(h) During the 31-day check in 

accordance with 30 CFR 75.312 (c), the 

ball valve to the fan ductwork will be 

closed allowing the pressure to the chart 

recorder to drop and signal the alarm. 

(i) The fan pressure signal will be 

tested by closing the ball valve to 

simulate pressure loss. 

(j) Twice per year, the fan signal will 

be tested by shutting the fan down in 

accordance with 30 CFR 75.312 (c). 

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 applicable standard.
