unit. The Fluid Properties meter, 

developed by SwRI: Fluid Properties 

Meter, is used to determine properties of 

natural gas, such as density, molecular 

weight and calorific value. The program 

will include the development of 

requirements and specifications for the 

system, subsystems and components, 

and the transfer of knowledge required 

to implement the fluid properties meter 

algorithm. The program will also 

include the actual development and 

testing of the Fluid Properties meter. 

Several reviews, such as a system 

requirements review, system functional 

review, preliminary design review, 

critical design review, and test readiness

Mine Safety and Health Administration 

Petitions for Modification 

The following parties have filed 

petitions to modify the application of 

existing safety standards under section 

101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and 

Health Act of 1977. 

1. Falkirk Mining Company (The) 

[Docket No. M–2005–002–C] 

The Falkirk Mining Company, 2801 

1st Street SW, PO Box 1087, 

Underwood, North Dakota 58576 has 

filed a petition to modify the 

application of 30 CFR 77.803 (Fail safe 

ground check circuits on high-voltage 

resistance grounded systems) to its 

Falkirk Mine (MSHA I.D. No. 32–00491) 

located in Mclean County, North 

Dakota. The petitioner requests a 

modification of the existing standard to 

allow an alternative method of 

compliance when raising or lowering 

the boom mast at construction sites 

during initial Dragline assembly. This 

method would only be used during the 

boom mast raising or lowering, and the 

machine will not be performing mining 

operations when raising or lowering the 

boom for construction or maintenance. 

The procedure would also be applicable 

in instances of disassembly or major 

maintenance which require the boom to 

be raised or lowered. The petitioner has 

listed specific guidelines in this petition 

that would be followed to minimize the 

potential for electrical power loss 

during this critical boom procedure. The 

petitioner asserts that application of the 

proposed alternative method will not 

result in a diminution of safety to the 

miners.

Environmental Conflict Resolution; 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities: Proposed Collection; 

Comment Request: See List of 

Evaluation Related ICRs Planned for 

Submission to OMB in Section A

AGENCY: Morris K. Udall Scholarship 

and Excellence in National 

Environmental Policy Foundation, U.S. 

Institute for Environmental Conflict 

Resolution.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 

3501 et seq.), this document announces 

that the U.S. Institute for Environmental 

Conflict Resolution (the U.S. Institute), 

part of the Morris K. Udall Foundation, 

is planning to submit six Information 

Collection Requests (ICRs) to the Office 

of Management and Budget (OMB). Five 

of the six ICRs are for revisions to 

currently approved collections due to 

expire 06/30/2005 (OMB control 

numbers 3320–0003, 3320–0004, 3320–

2005, 3320–0006, and 3320–0007). One 

ICR pertains to a new collection request. 

The six ICRs are being consolidated 

under a single filing to provide a more 

coherent picture of information 

collection activities designed primarily 

to measure performance. The proposed 

collections are necessary to support 

program evaluation activities. The 

collection is expected neither to have a 

significant economic impact on 

respondents, nor to affect a substantial 

number of small entities. The average 

cost (in lost time) per respondent is 

estimated to be 0.16 hours/6.18 dollars. 

Before submitting the ICRs to OMB for 

review and approval, the U.S. Institute 

is soliciting comments on specific 

aspects of the proposed information 

collection as described at the beginning 

of the section labeled ‘‘Supplementary 

Information.’’

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before April 4, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing this Federal Register notice, 

by e-mail to orr@ecr.gov, or by fax to

attention of Patricia Orr, Program
