Determinations Terminating

Adjustment Assistance 

After notice of the petitions was 

published in the Federal Register and 

on the Department’s Web site, as 

required by Section 221 of the Act (19 

U.S.C. 2271), the Department initiated 

investigations of these petitions. 

The following determinations 

terminating investigations were issued 

in cases where these petitions were not 

filed in accordance with the 

requirements of 29 CFR 90.11. Every 

petition filed by workers must be signed 

by at least three individuals of the 

petitioning worker group. Petitioners 

separated more than one year prior to 

the date of the petition cannot be 

covered under a certification of a 

petition under Section 223(b), and 

therefore, may not be part of a 

petitioning worker group. For one or 

more of these reasons, these petitions 

were deemed invalid.

Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 224 / Thursday, November 20, 2014 / Notices 69135 

mandatory safety standard to a coal or 

other mine if the Secretary of Labor 

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 modification. 

II. Petitions for Modification 

Docket Numbers: M–2014–035–C and 

M–2014–036–C. 

Petitioner: Sunrise Coal LLC, 12661 

Agricare Road, Oaktown, Indiana 47561. 

Mines: Oaktown Fuels Mine No. 1, 

MSHA I.D. No. 12–02394, and Oaktown 

Fuels Mine No. 2, MSHA I.D. No. 12– 

02418, both located in Knox County, 

Indiana. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1101– 

1(b) (Deluge-type water spray systems). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard to permit weekly examinations 

and functional testing of the deluge-type 

water fire suppression systems to be 

conducted in lieu of providing blow-off 

dust covers. The petitioner proposes to 

conduct weekly examinations and 

functional tests of the deluge system to 

provide an improvement in safety and 

to ensure that the spray nozzles do not 

become plugged. The petitioner states 

that replacing the dust caps creates an 

unnecessary hazard by exposing miners 

to the risk of a slip/fall type accident. 

The petitioner further states that: 

(1) A person trained in the testing 

procedures specific to the deluge-type 

water spray system utilized at each belt 

drive will, once every seven 7 days: 

(a) Conduct a visual examination of 

each of the deluge-type water spray fire 

suppression systems. 

(b) Conduct a functional test of the 

deluge-type water spray fire suppression 

systems by actuating the system and 

observing its performance. 

(c) Record the results of the 

examination and functional test in a 

book maintained on the surface, made 

available to authorized representatives 

of the Secretary and retained at the mine 

for one year. 

(2) Any malfunction or clogged nozzle 

detected as a result of the weekly 

examination or functional test will be 

corrected immediately. 

(3) The procedure used to perform the 

functional test will be posted at or near 

each belt drive that utilizes a delugetype water spray fire suppression 

system. 

The petitioner asserts that the 

proposed alternative method will at all 

times guarantee no less than the same 

measure or protection afforded by the 

existing standard. 

Docket Number: M–2014–019–M. 

Petitioner: J.S. Redpath Corporation, 

1410 Greg Street Suite 404, Sparks, 

Nevada 89431. 

Mine: Sumitomo Metal Mining Pogo 

LLC, Pogo Mine, MSHA I.D. No. 50– 

01642, 49 Mile Shaw Creek Road, Delta 

Junction, Alaska 99737, located in 

Southeast Fairbanks County, Alaska. 

Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 57.14207 

(Parking procedures for unattended 

equipment). 

Modification Request: The petitioner 

requests a modification of the existing 

standard to eliminate the use of park 

brakes on light vehicle fleets during the 

coldest months of the year for only the 

surface areas of the Pogo Mine Site. The 

petitioner states that: 

(1) The coldest of months of the year 

in Southeast Fairbanks County, Alaska 

are between October 15th and April 1st. 

(2) The fleet vehicles are currently 

Ford F series 4X4 pickup trucks and one 

4X4 Ford passenger van. All of the 

vehicles are equipped with automatic 

transmissions. 

(3) This modification request is only 

for these types of vehicles with external 

cable and park brake assemblies. 

(4) The alternate method of securing 

these light vehicles will be the use of a 

parking ditch, or a parking rack. When 

the vehicles are parked on the surface 

during the cold months the two front 

tires or two back tires of the vehicle will 

be put into a parking ditch 5 to 6 inches 

deep, or driven into the parking rack. 

The parking racks are constructed of 4- 

inch steel angle iron. Along with the 

parking ditch or rack the vehicles will 

be secured with chock blocks on both 

sides of an opposite axle tire. 

(5) The vehicles are used both 

underground and on the surface. When 

the vehicles are used in the wet 

underground environment and then 

driven to the surface, the extreme cold 

temperatures immediately cause the 

park brake components to freeze. 

Temperatures at the mine often exceed 

-50 degrees Fahrenheit for extended 

periods of time. Setting the park brakes 

will damage the brakes and will often 

lock the tires in place. 

(6) The vehicles are driven in and out 

of the mine many times in a 24-hour 

period. They are used to haul men, 

equipment, tools and supplies. The 

vehicles are an extremely important part 

of the mine’s day to day operations. The 

vehicles are maintained in a safe and 

reliable condition and are inspected 

prior to each shift use. 

(7) The parking racks will be 

constructed in approximate 20 foot 

width. The bottom side of the parking 

rack will have some form of metal teeth 

to create friction between the rack and 

ground to keep it from sliding on a 

frozen surface. 

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.
