Notice of Changes in Status of an

Extended Benefit (EB) Period for the

State of Alaska

This notice announces a change in

benefit period eligibility under the EB

Program for the State of Alaska.

Summary

The following changes have occurred

since the publication of the last notice

regarding States’ EB status:

• January 29, 1995—Alaska’s 13-week

insured unemployment rate for the

week ending January 14, 1995

exceeded 6.0 percent, causing the

State to trigger ‘‘on’’ EB effective

January 29, 1995.

Information for Claimants

The duration of benefits payable in

the EB Program, and the terms and

conditions on which they are payable,

are governed by the Federal-State

Extended Unemployment Compensation

Act of 1970, as amended, and the

operating instructions issued to the

States by the U.S. Department of Labor.

In the case of a State beginning an EB

period, the State employment security

agency will furnish a written notice of

potential entitlement to each individual

who has exhausted all rights to regular

benefits and is potentially eligible for

EB (20 CFR 615.13(c)(1)).

Persons who believe they may be

entitled to EB, or who wish to inquire

about their rights under the programs,

should contact the nearest State

employment service office or

unemployment compensation claims

office in their locality.

Signed at Washington, DC, on February 23,

1995.

Assistant Secretary of Labor for Employment

and Training.

Mine Safety and Health Administration

Petitions for Modification

The following parties have filed

petitions to modify the application of

mandatory safety standards under

section 101(c) of the Federal Mine

Safety and Health Act of 1977.

1. Rothermel Coal Company

[Docket No. M–95–07–C]

Rothermel Coal Company, R.D. #1,

Box 33A, Klingerstown, Pennsylvania

17941 has filed a petition to modify the

application of 30 CFR 75.335

(construction of seals) to its No. 11

Slope (I.D. No. 36–07558) located in

Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.

The petitioner requests a modification

of the standard to permit alternative

methods of seal construction using

wooden materials of moderate size and

weight due to the difficulty in accessing

previously driven headings and breasts

containing inaccessible abandoned

workings; to accept a design criterion in

the 10 psi range; and to permit the water

trap to be installed in the gangway seal

and sampling tube in the monkey seal

for seals installed in pairs. The

petitioner asserts that the proposed

alternative method would provide at

least the same measure of protection as

would the mandatory standard.

2. Rothermel Coal Company

[Docket No. M–95–08–C]

Rothermel Coal Company, R.D. #1,

Box 33A, Klingerstown, Pennsylvania

17941 has filed a petition to modify the

application of 30 CFR 75.360 (preshift

examination) to its No. 11 Slope (I.D.

No. 36–07558) located in

Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.

The petitioner proposes to examine each

seal for physical damage from the slope

gunboat during the preshift examination

after an air quantity reading is taken

inby the intake portal and to test for the

quantity and quality of air at the intake

air split locations off the slope in the

gangway portion of the working section.

The petitioner proposes to physically

examine the entire length of the slope

once a month. The petitioner asserts

that the proposed alternative method

would provide at least the same

measure of protection as would the

mandatory standard.

3. Rothermel Coal Company

[Docket No. M–95–09–C]

Rothermel Coal Company, R.D. #1,

Box 33A, Klingerstown, Pennsylvania

17941 has filed a petition to modify the

application of 30 CFR 75.1100–2(a)

(quantity and location of firefighting

equipment) to its No. 11 Slope (I.D. No.

36–07558) located in Northumberland

County, Pennsylvania. The petitioner

proposes to use only portable fire

extinguishers to replace existing

requirements where rock dust, water

cars, and other water storage are not

practical. The petitioner asserts that the

proposed alternative method would

provide at least the same measure of

protection as would the mandatory

standard.

4. Rothermel Coal Company

[Docket No. M–95–10–C]

Rothermel Coal Company, R.D. #1,

Box 33A, Klingerstown, Pennsylvania

17941 has filed a petition to modify the

application of 30 CFR 75.1200(d) and (i)

(mine map) to its No. 11 Slope (I.D. No.

36–07558) located in Northumberland

County, Pennsylvania. The petitioner

proposes to use cross-sections instead of

contour lines through the intake slope,

at locations of rock tunnel connections

between veins, and at 1,000 feet

intervals of advance from the intake

slope and to limit the mapping of mine

workings above and below to those

present within 100 feet of the vein being

mined except when veins are

interconnected to other veins beyond

the 100 feet limit through rock tunnels.

The petitioner asserts that the proposed

alternative method would provide at

least the same measure of protection as

would the mandatory standard.

5. Rothermel Coal Company

[Docket No. M–95–11–C]

Rothermel Coal Company, R.D. #1,

Box 33A, Klingerstown, Pennsylvania

17941 has filed a petition to modify the

(temporary notations, revisions, and

supplements) to its No. 11 Slope (I.D.

No. 36–07558) located in

Northumberland County, Pennsylvania.

The petitioner proposes to revise and

supplement mine maps on an annual

basis instead of the required 6 month

interval and to update maps daily by

hand notations. The petitioner asserts

that the proposed alternative method

would provide at least the same

measure of protection as would the

mandatory standard.
