DEPARTMENT OF LABOR 

Employment and Training 

Administration 

[TA–W–57,430] 

Springs Industries, Inc.; Creative 

Products Group, Rock Hill, SC; Notice 

of Revised Determination on 

Reconsideration 

By letter dated August 31, 2005, a 

company official requested 

administrative reconsideration of the 

Department’s negative determination for 

Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) and 

Alternative Trade Adjustment 

Assistance (ATAA) for workers of the 

subject facility. Workers produce 

finished fabrics packaged for home 

sewing craft stores and are not 

separately identifiable by product line. 

The petition is dated June 21, 2005. 

The negative determination was based 

on the finding of no separations, actual 

or threatened, during the relevant 

period. The denial was issued on 

August 1, 2005 and published in the 

Federal Register on August 26, 2005 (70 

FR 50411). 

The investigation revealed that the 

subject facility’s employment levels 

during January through May 2005 

increased from January through May 

2004 levels, that the subject company’s 

overall sales and production levels 

increased during January through May 

2005 from January through May 2004 

levels, and that the subject company’s 

imports of finished fabrics packaged for 

home sewing craft stores increased 

during January through May 2005 from 

January through May 2004 levels. 

During the reconsideration 

investigation, the company official 

provided corrected information to 

reflect decreased employment and 

production levels during the relevant 

period and increased import levels of 

finished fabrics packaged for home 

sewing craft stores during the relevant 

time period. 

The initial investigation also revealed 

that all criteria for alternative trade 

adjustment assistance have been met. A 

significant number or proportion of the 

worker group are age fifty years or over 

and workers possess skills that are not 

easily transferable. Competitive 

conditions within the industry are 

adverse. 

Conclusion 

After careful review of the additional 

facts obtained on reconsideration, I 

conclude that increased imports of 

finished fabrics packaged for home 

sewing craft stores contributed 

importantly to worker separations at the 

subject firm. In accordance with the 

provisions of the Act, I make the 

following certification: 

• ‘‘All workers of Spring Industries, Inc., 

Creative Products Group, Rock Hill, South 

Carolina, who became totally or partially 

separated from employment on or after June 

21, 2004, through two years from the date of 

this certification, are eligible to apply for 

adjustment assistance under Section 223 of 

the Trade Act of 1974, and are also eligible 

to apply for alternative trade adjustment 

assistance under Section 246 of the Trade Act 

of 1974.’’

Signed in Washington, DC this 27th day of 

September 2005. 

Elliott S. Kushner, 

Certifying Officer, Division of Trade 

Adjustment Assistance.

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 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 193 / Thursday, October 6, 2005 / Notices 58485 

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. As designee of the Secretary, we 

have 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 we published a notice 

of the filing of the petition for 

modification.

Affirmative Decisions on Petitions for 

Modification 

Docket No.: M–2004–045–C. 

FR Notice: 69 FR 64110. 

Petitioner: Consolidation Coal 

Company. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 

75.364(b). 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to establish checkpoint 

numbers B–CK–10, B–CK–11, B–CK–12, 

and B–CK–13 to measure the quantity 

and quality of air in certain areas of the 

return aircourse due to deteriorating 

roof conditions. The petitioner proposes 

to maintain the checkpoints in a safe 

condition at all times; have a certified 

person test for methane and the quantity 

and quality of air at each checkpoint on 

a weekly basis; and place his/her initials 

and date in a record book kept on the 

surface of the mine and on a date board 

at the checkpoint sites. This is 

considered an acceptable alternative 

method for the Blacksville No. 2 Mine. 

The petition for modification is granted 

for the examination of approximately 

1,200 feet of unsafe-to-travel return 

aircourse, from the regulator inby the 

11⁄2 East Seals over the overcasts of 

Wana Mains to Wana Air Shaft for the 

Blacksville No. 2 Mine with conditions. 

Docket No.: M–2004–052–C. 

FR Notice: 69 FR 78047. 

Petitioner: Cumberland Coal 

Resources, LP. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 

75.364(b)(1). 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to establish air monitoring 

stations at a sump in an intake airway 

in lieu of traveling the entry in its 

entirety because of a water collection 

sump that was constructed in the intake 

aircourse and is approximately 15 to 20 

feet deep and 600 feet in length, known 

as the No. 7 Main Sump, located 

between crosscuts 46 and 51 in the No. 

5 entry of the East Mains. The air course 

is isolated by stoppings and is subject to 

weekly examinations under 30 CFR 

75.364(b)(1), and the roof and ribs in the 

sump area have been supported with 

supplemental support. The petitioner 

proposes to establish evaluation points 

at the 47 and 51 crosscuts. This is 

considered an acceptable alternative 

method for the Cumberland Mine. The 

petition for modification is granted for 

evaluation of the intake aircourse 

segment (approximately 600 feet) 

known as the No. 7 Main Sump Area for 

the Cumberland Mine with conditions. 

Docket No.: M–2005–001–C. 

FR Notice: 70 FR 3566. 

Petitioner: Consol Pennsylvania Coal 

Company. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 

75.364(b)(2). 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to establish monitoring 

stations MS #1, MS #2, and MS #3 in 

the affected area of the aircourse and 

have a certain person examine the 

stations on a weekly basis to determine 

the quantity and quality of air entering 

and exiting the stations. The petitioner 

proposes to measure the air quality 

using an MSHA approved hand-held 

methane and oxygen meter, and the 

examiner will record their initials, the 

date, and time of examinations on a date 

board maintained at each monitoring 

station and in a book kept on the 

surface. This is considered an 

acceptable alternative method for the 

Enlow Fork Mine. The petition for 

modification is granted for the 

examination of approximately 1,200 feet 

of unsafe-to-travel return aircourse from 

the 1 West No. 1 Seal to two crosscuts 

inby the Portal Shaft bottom for the 

Enlow Fork Mine with conditions. 

Docket No.: M–2005–020–C. 

FR Notice: 70 FR 19506. 

Petitioner: Chestnut Coal Company. 

Regulation Affected: 75.311(b)(2). 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is that electrical circuits 

entering the underground mine remain 

energized to the mine’s de-watering 

pumps while the mine ventilation fan is 

intentionally stopped during idle shifts 

while no miners are underground. The 

petitioner alleges that anthracite mines 

are small, employing five or fewer 

miners, with very low production; that 

there is little or no methane liberation; 

and that due to the steep pitch of the 

coal seam, natural ventilation occurs 

through cracks and breaches to the 

surface, which would dissipate any 

methane. The petitioner further alleges 

that continuous operation of the main 

fan would result in a hazardous 

condition during colder months due to 

water freezing in the intake haulage 

slope, creating ice accumulations that 

must be manually removed. By allowing 

the fan to be intentionally stopped, the 

natural air current will be warmed and 

prevent freezing. The mine’s pumping 

system typically consists of a 

submersible pump located below the 

water level in the intake haulage slope 

sump and a centrifugal pump located in 

the intake haulage slope above the 

active gangway level. The pumps are 

started and shut off by a set of electrode 

switches located in the sump that 

detects the water level. This is 

considered an acceptable alternative 

method for the No. 10 Slope Mine. The 

petition for modification is granted to 

permit the electrical circuits entering 

the underground mine to remain 

energized to the mine’s de-watering 

pumps while the mine ventilation fan is 

intentionally stopped during idle shifts 

when no miners are underground for the 

No. 10 Slope Mine with conditions. 

Docket No.: M–2005–021–C. 

FR Notice: 70 FR 19506. 

Petitioner: Six M Coal Company. 

Regulation Affected: 75.335(a)(1). 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to construct seals from 

wooden materials of moderate size and 

weight that would be designed to 

withstand a static horizontal pressure in 

the range of 10 psi, and install a 

sampling tube only in the monkey 

(higher elevation) seal. The petitioner 

asserts that because of the pitch of 

anthracite veins, concrete blocks are 

difficult to use and expose miners to 

safety hazards during transport. The 

petitioner cites the low level of 

explosibility of anthracite coal dust and 

the minimal potential for either an 

accumulation of methane in previously 

mined pitching veins or an ignition 

source in the gob area as justification for 

the proposed design criterion. This is 

considered an acceptable alternative 

method for the No. 1 Slope Mine. The 

petition for modification is granted for 

seals installed in the No. 1 Slope Mine 

with conditions. 

58486 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 193 / Thursday, October 6, 2005 / Notices 

Docket No.: M–2005–022–C. 

FR Notice: 70 FR 19506. 

Petitioner: Consolidation Coal 

Company. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.503 

[18.35 of Part 18]. 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to use trailing cables with a 

maximum length 1,000 feet for 

supplying power to permissible 

equipment used in the continuous 

mining section of the Blacksville No. 2 

Mine. This is considered an acceptable 

alternative method for the Blacksville 

No. 2 Mine. The petition for 

modification is granted for the trailing 

cables supplying three-phase, 995-volt 

power to continuous mining machines 

and trailing cables supplying threephase, 575-volt power to loading 

machines, shuttle cars, roof bolters, 

section ventilation fans, and de-gas 

drills for the Blacksville No. 2 Mine 

with conditions. 

Docket No.: M–2005–029–C. 

FR Notice: 70 FR 22376. 

Petitioner: Parkwood Resources, Inc. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1100–

2(e)(2). 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to use two (2) fire 

extinguishers or one fire extinguisher of 

twice the required capacity at all 

temporary electrical installations in lieu 

of using one fire extinguisher and 240 

pounds of rock dust. This is considered 

an acceptable alternative method for the 

Cherry Tree Mine. The petition for 

modification is granted for temporary 

electrical installations, provided the 

Petitioner maintains two portable fire 

extinguishers having at least the 

minimum capacity specified for a 

portable fire extinguisher in 30 CFR 

75.1100–1(e) at each of the temporary 

electrical installations at the Cherry 

Tree Mine with conditions. 

Docket No.: M–2005–036–C. 

FR Notice: 70 CFR 32379. 

Petitioner: Hopkins County Coal, LLC. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1101–

1(b). 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to use an alternative method 

of compliance in lieu of providing blowoff dust covers for deluge-type water 

spray nozzles. The petitioner proposes 

to have a certified person trained in 

specific testing procedures to the 

deluge-type water pray fire suppression 

systems at each belt drive conduct a 

visual examination of each deluge-type 

water spray fire-suppression system; 

conduct a functional test of the delugetype water spray fire suppression 

systems to check for proper 

performance, and record the results of 

the examination in a book that will be 

kept on the surface and made available 

to the authorized representative of the 

Secretary. This is considered an 

acceptable alternative method for the 

Elk Creek Mine. The petition for 

modification is granted for the delugetype water spray systems installed for 

nozzles in the Elk Creek Mine with 

conditions. 

Docket No.: M–2005–037–C. 

FR Notice: 70 FR 32379. 

Petitioner: Bridger Coal Company. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1101–

8. 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to use a water sprinkler 

system that will consist of a single 

overhead pipe system with automatic 

sprinklers located no more than 10 feet 

apart so that the water discharged from 

the sprinklers will cover 50 feet of fireresistant belt, or 150 feet of nonfireresistant belt, adjacent to the belt drive. 

The petitioner proposes to have the 

sprinkler located not more than 10 feet 

apart so that the water discharged from 

the sprinkler(s) will cover the drive 

motor(s), belt take-up, electrical 

controls, and gear reducing unit for each 

belt drive, and the sprinkler system will 

use either pendant or upright type 

sprinkler heads. This is considered an 

acceptable alternative method for the 

Bridger Underground Mine. The 

petition for modification is granted for 

the Bridger Underground Mine with 

conditions. 

Docket No.: M–2005–038–C. 

FR Notice: 70 FR 32379. 

Petitioner: Alfred Brown Coal 

Company. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1100–

2(a)(2). 

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s 

proposal is to use two (2) portable fire 

extinguishers near the slope bottom and 

an additional portable fire extinguisher 

within 500 feet of the working face for 

equivalent fire protection at the 7 Ft. 

Slope Mine. This is considered an 

acceptable alternative method for the 7
