DEPARTMENT OF LABOR

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

Summary of Decisions Granting in 

Whole or in Part Petitions for 

Modification

AGENCY: Mine Safety and Health 

Administration (MSHA), Labor.

ACTION: Notice of affirmative decisions 

issued by the Administrators for Coal 

Mine Safety and Health and Metal and 

Nonmetal Mine Safety and Health on 

petitions for modification of the 

application of mandatory safety 

standards. 

SUMMARY: Under section 101 of the 

Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 

1977, the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) 

may allow the modification of 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. 

Final decisions on these petitions are 

based on the petitioner’s statements, 

comments and information submitted 

by interested persons, and a field 

investigation of the conditions at the 

mine. MSHA, as designee of the 

Secretary, has granted or partially 

granted the requests for modification 

listed below. In some instances, the 

decisions are conditioned upon 

compliance with stipulations stated in 

the decision. The term FR Notice 

appears in the list of affirmative 

decisions below. The term refers to the 

Federal Register volume and page 

where MSHA published a notice of the 

filing of the petition for modification.

Petitions and copies of the final 

decisions are available for examination 

by the public in the Office of Standards,

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to use non-permissible 

submersible pumps in bleeder and 

return entries and sealed areas of the 

Loveridge No. 22 Mine under specific 

terms and conditions. This is 

considered an acceptable alternative 

method for the Loveridge No. 22 Mine. 

MSHA grants the petition for 

modification for the use of low- and 

medium-voltage, three-phase, 

alternating-current submersible pump(s) 

installed in return and bleeder entries

Company. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 77.803. 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to use an alternative method 

of compliance when raising or lowering 

the boom mast at construction sites 

during initial dragline assembly, and in 

instances of disassembly or major 

repairs. The petitioner lists specific 

guidelines that will be used to minimize 

the potential for electrical power loss 

during the boom procedure. This is 

considered an acceptable alternative 

method for the Red Hills Mine. MSHA 

grants the petition for modification for 

dragline boom or mast raising, lowering, 

assembling, disassembling, or during 

major repairs that require raising or 

lowering the dragline boom or mast by 

the on-board generators at the Red Hills 

Mine with conditions.

Docket No.: M–2005–024–C. 

FR Notice: 70 FR 19506. 

Petitioner: Ohio County Coal. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1101–

1(b). 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to have a person trained in 

testing procedures specific to the 

deluge-type water spray fire suppression 

system to conduct a visual examination 

of the deluge-type water spray fire 

suppression systems; to conduct a 

functional test by actuating the system 

and observing its performance; and to 

50420 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 165 / Friday, August 26, 2005 / Notices 

record the results of the examination 

and functional test in a book that will

available to the authorized 

representative of the Secretary. This is 

considered an acceptable alternative

the last open crosscut and within 150 

feet of pillar workings. This is 

considered an acceptable alternative 

method for the Scotch Pine Mine and 

Midway Mine. MSHA grants the 

petition for modification for the use of 

the 2,400-volt high-voltage continuous 

miner(s) at the Scotch Pine Mine and

serial number 6782 without front 

brakes, as it was originally designed. 

The grader is equipped with dual brake 

systems on the four (4) rear wheels and 

designed to prevent loss of braking due 

to a single component failure. The 

petitioner will provide training to grader 

operators on how to lower the 

moldboard for additional stopping 

capability in emergencies; to recognize 

the appropriate speeds to use on 

different roadway conditions; and to 

limit the maximum speed of the grader 

to 10 miles per hour. This is considered 

an acceptable alternative method for the 

Aracoma Alma #1 Mine. MSHA grants 

the petition for modification for the 

Aracoma Alma #1 Mine with 

conditions.

Docket No.: M–2005–033–C. 

FR Notice: 70 FR 28321.

The grader is equipped with dual brake 

systems on the four (4) rear wheels and 

designed to prevent loss of braking due 

to a single component failure. The 

petitioner will provide training to grader 

operators on how to limit the maximum 

speed of the Roadbuilder to 10 miles per 

hour by permanently blocking out any 

gear that would provide higher speed, or 

use transmission and differential ratios 

that would limit the maximum speed to 

10 miles per hour; to recognize the 

appropriate speeds to use on different 

roadway conditions and slopes; and to 

lower the grader blade for additional 

stopping capability in emergencies. This 

is considered an acceptable alternative 

method for the Gateway Mine. MSHA 

grants the petition for modification for 

the Gateway Mine with conditions.

Docket No.: M–2004–009–M.

cleaning booth process that has been 

jointly developed with and successfully 

tested by the National Institute for 

Occupational Safety and Health 

(NIOSH), for the use of controlled 

compressed air for cleaning miners’ dust 

laden clothing. This is considered an 

acceptable alternative method for the 

Marston Plant Mine. MSHA grants the 

petition for modification for only miners 

who are trained in the operation of the 

NIOSH tested clothes cleaning booth for
