behind 15 psi stoppings. The petitioner 

asserts that the proposed alternative 

method will at all times guarantee no 

less than the same measure of protection 

afforded by the existing standard. 

Docket Number: M–2010–001–M. 

Petitioner: Morton International, Inc., 

Highway 83 South, New Iberia, 

Louisiana 70560. 

Mine: Weeks Island Mine, MSHA I.D. 

No. 16–00970, located in Iberia County, 

Louisiana. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 57.22304 

(Approved equipment (II–A mines) . 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

proposes to use Model J251–D/E Face 

Drill, manufactured by J.H. Fletcher & 

Company. The petitioner states that: (1) 

The J251–D/E Face Drill consists of an 

electric drill combined with a dieselpowered tram system. The electric and 

diesel power systems are electrically 

interlocked within the permissible 

enclosure. The electric drill meets the 

requirements of 30 CFR part 18. The 

electrical interlock between the electric 

and diesel components prevents the 

operation of the electrical system when 

the diesel is running, and prevents the 

diesel system from operating when the 

electrical system is running. The diesel 

engine for the tram is not an MSHAapproved permissible engine. The J251– 

D/E Face Drill has a methane 

monitoring system which will be 

connected to both the electric drill and 

the diesel tram circuits of the machine 

and shuts down both functions at a set 

level of methane; (2) drilling equipment 

without a diesel tram system requires a 

multi-step process to transport the 

permissible drill equipment between 

remote face locations. These steps 

include: (a) hitching the permissible 

equipment to a diesel vehicle; (b) 

disabling the permissible equipment’s 

tram system and brakes; (c) towing the 

permissible equipment to the new face 

location; (d) re-enabling the tram system 

and brakes; (e) disconnecting the tow 

vehicle; and (f) repositioning the tow 

vehicle away from the cutting and 

drilling equipment; (3) although 

procedures and training utilized by 

miners allow these manual steps to be 

accomplished safely, a machine with its 

own diesel tram system provides an 

engineered method to reduce hazards 

for miners associated with towing 

vehicles and towed equipment. Those 

hazards include some of the likely 

causes of fatalities and serious injuries 

in mines (e.g. getting caught between 

the equipment and/or rib); (4) 

prohibiting the use of the drill will 

require miners at the Weeks Island Mine 

to continue to rely on a manual multistep process, with greater potential for 

human error to move drilling equipment 

across long distances rather than 

benefiting from an engineered safety 

solution. The petitioner asserts that 

application of the existing standard will 

result in a diminution of safety to the 

miners and that the proposed alternative 

method will at all times assure no less 

than the same measure of protection 

afforded by the standard and actually 

will provide improved safety.

Petitions for Modification 

This notice amends the petition for 

modification submitted by Lone 

Mountain Processing, Inc., on July 15, 

2009, (Docket Number M–2009–024–C). 

The amendment assigns a separate 

docket number for each of the mines 

listed. Lone Mountain Processing, Inc., 

filed a petition for modification of 

existing standard 30 CFR 75.503 

(Permissible electric face equipment; 

maintenance) and 30 CFR 18.35 

(Portable trailing cables and cords) for 

the Clover Fork No. 1 Mine, (MSHA I.D. 

No. 15–18647), Huff Creek No. 1 Mine 

(MSHA I.D. No. 15–17234), and Darby 

Fork No. 1 Mine, MSHA I.D. No. 15– 

02263). MSHA published the notice in 

the Federal Register on December 21, 

2009 (74 FR 67915). Initially, this 

petition for modification was assigned 

one docket number. After investigating 

these mines it has been determined that 

the conditions at the mines are different 

and a separate decision and order will 

be issued for each mine. This requires 

having separate docket numbers for 

each mine. A docket number is assigned 

for each of the mines as follows: (a) The 

Lone Mountain Processing, Inc., Clover 

Fork No. 1 Mine, (MSHA I.D. No. 15– 

18647), Docket No. M–2009–024–C; (b) 

Huff Creek No. 1 Mine (MSHA I.D. No. 

15–17234), Docket No. M–2010–021–C; 

and (c) Darby Fork No. 1 Mine, (MSHA 

I.D. No. 15–02263), Docket No. M– 

2010–022–C. These mines are located in 

Harlan County, Kentucky.
