SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine 

Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine 

Act) allows the mine operator or 

representative of miners to file a 

petition to modify the application of any 

mandatory safety standard to a coal or 

other mine if the Secretary determines 

that: (1) An alternative method of 

achieving the result of such standard 

exists which will at all times guarantee 

no less than the same measure of 

protection afforded the miners of such 

mine by such standard; or (2) that the 

application of such standard to such 

mine will result in a diminution of 

safety to the miners in such mine. In 

addition, the regulations at 30 CFR 

44.10 and 44.11 establish the 

requirements and procedures for filing 

petitions for modifications. 

II. Petition for Modification 

Docket Number: M–2008–001–M. 

Petitioner: EP Minerals, LLC, an 

Eagle-Picher Company, 2360 Grahamm 

Blvd., Vale, Oregon 97918. 

Mine: Clark Mill, MSHA I.D. 26–

00677, located in Storey County, 

Nevada; Colado Plant, MSHA I.D. No. 

26–00680, located in Pershing County, 

Nevada; and Celatom Plant, MSHA I.D. 

No. 35–03236, located in Malheur 

County, Oregon. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 56.20001 

(Intoxicating beverages and narcotics). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard to permit the use of beer in 

their laboratories to test a filtration 

product used by breweries. The 

laboratory tests are performed by 

dissolving the product in degassed beer 

to ensure that it will not affect the 

breweries’ product. The petitioner states 

that: (1) Their beer is ordered by the 

leading lab technician or other 

responsible party, purchased at the local 

grocery outlet by their purchaser, taken 

to the lab and stored in a back room, 

and accessible to only a few authorized 

people; and (2) the beer is closely 

tracked to determine how much is on 

hand and how much is used. The 

petitioner asserts that the proposed 

alternative method will provide the 

same degree of safety as the existing 

standard.

Acting Deputy Director, Office of Standards,

Abstract of Proposed Collection: The 

proposed study will develop and further 

the Department of Labor’s 

understanding of the traits and 

characteristics of programs which 

provide employment and training 

services for homeless veterans. 

Comparing results of different grantee

questionnaire asks for opinions, 

reactions, and thoughts regarding the

participants who request a paper based 

format and will include a postage paid

U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby 

informs potential respondents that an 

agency may not conduct or sponsor, and 

that a person is not required to respond 

to, a collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. The NRC published a Federal 

Register Notice with a 60-day comment 

period on this information collection on 

May 30, 2008. 

1. Type of submission, new, revision, 

or extension: Revision.

Records.

Forms 509 and 509A. 

5. How often the collection is 

required: On occasion. 

6. Who will be required or asked to 

report: Individuals requesting access to 

records under the Freedom of 

Information or Privacy Acts, and 

submitters of information containing 

trade secrets or confidential commercial

initial determination that the 

information should be disclosed. 

7. An estimate of the number of 

annual responses: 212. 

8. The estimated number of annual 

respondents: 212. 

9. An estimate of the total number of

10. Abstract: 10 CFR Part 9 prescribes

Act (PA). It contains information 

collection requirements for requests to 

waive or reduce fees for searching for 

and reproducing records in response to 

FOIA requests; appeals of denied 

requests; and requests for expedited 

processing. The information required 

from the public is necessary to justify 

requests for waivers or reductions in 

searching or copying fees; or to justify 

expedited processing. Section 9.28(b) 

provides that if the submitter of 

information designated to be trade 

secrets or confidential commercial or 

financial information objects to the 

disclosure, he must provide a written 

statement within 30 days that specifies 

all grounds why the information is a 

trade secret or commercial or financial 

information that is privileged or 

confidential. 

A copy of the final supporting 

statement may be viewed free of charge
