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 modification. 

II. Petitions for Modification 

Docket Number: M–2010–033–C. 

Petitioner: Matrix Energy, LLC, Mine 

No. 1, MSHA I.D. No. 15–18575; 

Coalburg Enterprises, Inc., Mine No. 8, 

MSHA I.D. No. 15–19494; and Eagle 

Coal Company, Inc., Mine No. 22, 

MSHA I.D. No. 15–16663 and Mine No. 

24, MSHA I.D. No. 15–19296, Rt. 292, 

P.O. Box 190, Lovely, Kentucky 41231. 

All of these mines are located in Martin 

County, Kentucky. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.208 

(Warning devices). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard to that portion of the standard 

requiring the end of permanent roof 

support to be posted with readily visible 

warning. The petitioner states that: (1) A 

greater degree of safety is provided for 

the miner by hanging the reflector on 

the second row, rather than on the first 

row of permanent support outby 

unsupported roof; and (2) hanging the 

reflector on the first row would subject 

a portion of the miner’s body inby 

supported roof, which could result in a 

serious injury. Therefore, the petitioner 

requests to hang the reflector on the 

second row of permanent support outby 

unsupported roof. The petitioner asserts 

that the proposed alternative method 

will at all times comply with the safety 

standard and guarantee greater 

protection than the existing standard. 

Docket Number: M–2010–034–C. 

Petitioner: Four O Mining 

Corporation, P.O. Box 148, Vansant, 

Virginia 24656 . 

Mine: No. 10 Mine, MSHA I.D. No. 

44–07217, located in Dickenson County, 

Virginia. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1101– 

2 (Installation of deluge-type sprays). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard to permit an alternative 

method of compliance in lieu of 

providing a fire suppression system on 

the belt drive, as it pertains to 50 foot 

coverage of fire suppression. The 

petitioner requests this modification 

because of the Fairchild continuous 

miner and the rapid haul that travels up 

and down from near the belt drive to the 

end. To ensure safety, the petitioner 

proposes to put one man with a CO 

Detector with a 1-1/2 inch fire hose with 

a firefighting nozzle hooked up at all 

times until the 50 foot distance is 

established from the belt drive to the 

rapid haul. The petitioner asserts that 

the proposed alternative method will 

provide a measure of protection equal to 

or greater than that of the existing 

standard.

SUMMARY: The National Science 

Foundation (NSF) is required to publish 

notice of permit applications received to 

conduct activities regulated under the 

Antarctic Conservation Act of 1978.

designation of certain animals and 

certain geographic areas a requiring 

special protection. The regulations 

establish such a permit system to 

designate Antarctic Specially Protected 

Areas. 

The applications received are as 

follows: 

1. Applicant—Permit Application No. 

2011–016, Paul Ponganis, Center for 

Marine Biotechnology and Biomedicine, 

Scripps Institution of Oceanography, 

University of California, San Diego, La 

Jolla, CA 92093–0204. 

Activity for Which Permit Is Requested 

Take, Enter Antarctic Specially 

Protected Areas, and Import into the 

USA. The applicant plans to study the 

diving physiology and behavior of 

emperor penguins at sea. Physiological 

responses underlie the dive capacity 

and the ability to successfully forage at 

depth. Heart rate, in particular, is key to 

the management of oxygen stores at 

seas, and the ability of birds to perform 

repetitive deep dives. The will deploy 

electro-cardiogram recorders and dive 

behavior recorders on birds making 

foraging trips to sea from Cape 

Washington. 

In addition, censusing of birds will be 

conducted to continue the long term 

population monitoring of the Ross Sea 

emperor penguin population (day visits 

to Cape Crozier, ASPA 124 and Beaufort 

Island ASPA 105 colonies, aerial 

censuses of Franklin Island, Cape 

Colbeck, Coulman Island and Cape 

Roget, and photo/counting census at 

Cape Washington, including abandoned 

egg and chick carcass counts, and 

assessment of check health.) 

Leopard seal research assesses the 

impact of leopard seals on the emperor 

colony as well as the hunting strategies 

of leopard seals. Leopard seals will be 

sedated for weighing and attachment of 

a backpack camera and radio 

transmitter. The camera and radio 

transmitter will be removed after about 

a week. 

Location 

Cape Crozier (ASPA 124), Beaufort 

Island (ASPA 105), and Cape 

Washington. 

Dates 

October 1, 2010 to December 31, 2011.
