[Docket No. M–2000–170–C]

Aracoma Coal Company, P.O. Box

470, Stollings, West Virginia 25646 has

filed a petition to modify the

application of 30 CFR 75.1700 (oil and

gas wells) to its Alma Mine No. 1 (I.D.

No. 46–08801) located in Logan County,

West Virginia. The petitioner proposes

to plug and mine through gas wells

using specific procedures outlined in

this petition for modification. The

petitioner asserts that the proposed

alternative method would provide at

least the same measure of protection as

the existing standard.

2. Canyon Fuel Company, LLC

[Docket No. M–2000–171–C]

Canyon Fuel Company, P.O. Box

1029, Wellington, Utah 84542 has filed

a petition to modify the application of

30 CFR 75.350 (air courses and belt

haulage entries) to its Dugout Canyon

Mine (I.D. No. 46–01890) located in

Carbon County, Utah. The petitioner

requests a modification of the existing

standard to permit the belt haulage

entry to be used at the return entry

during two-entry longwall panel

development and as an intake entry to

provide additional face ventilation

during longwall panel retreat mining.

The petitioner proposes to install a lowlevel carbon monoxide monitoring

system in all sections where the belt

entry is used as either an intake or

return air course and in the primary

intake entries. The petitioner asserts

that application of the existing standard

would result in a diminution of safety

to the miner and that the proposed

alternative method would provide at

least the same measure of protection as

the existing standard.

3. Canyon Fuel Company, LLC

[Docket No. M–2000–172–C]

Canyon Fuel Company, LLC, P.O. Box

1029, Wellington, Utah 84542 has filed

a petition to modify the application of

30 CFR 75.352 (return air courses) to its

Dugout Canyon Mine (I.D. No. 46–

01890) located in Carbon County, Utah.

The petitioner requests a modification

of the existing standard to permit the

belt haulage entry to be used at the

return entry during two-entry longwall

panel development and as an intake

entry to provide additional face

ventilation during longwall panel retreat

mining. The petitioner proposes to

install a low-level carbon monoxide

monitoring system in all sections where

the belt entry is used as either an intake

or return air course and in the primary

intake entries. The petitioner asserts

that application of the existing standard

would result in a diminution of safety

to the miner and that the proposed

alternative method would provide at

least the same measure of protection as

the existing standard.

4. ASARCO Incorporated

[Docket No. M–2000–010–M]

ASARCO Incorporated, P.O. Box 460,

Strawberry Plains, Tennessee 37871 has

filed a petition to modify the

application of 30 CFR 57.11055

(inclined escapeways) which requires

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 28 / Friday, February 9, 2001 / Notices 9725

that vertical shafts over 300 feet be

equipped with an emergency hoisting

facility. The petition applies to the Coy

Mine (I.D. No. 40–00166) located in

Jefferson County, Tennessee. The

petitioner requests a modification of the

existing standard for the purpose of

complying with Program Policy Letter

P00–IV–5 and 30 CFR 57.11050(a),

which requires that all mines must have

two continuously functional

escapeways at all times. The petitioner

proposes to use a vertical ladderway as

an emergency escapeway, and as a

secondary means of escape within the

primary escapeway in the event of an

extended power failure or repair to a

damaged hoist, to avoid hazards that are

created by repeated unnecessary mine

evacuations. The petitioner asserts that

application of PPL P00–IV–5 and 30

CFR 57.11050(a) would result in a

diminution of safety to the miners and

that the proposed alternative method

would provide at least the same

measure of protection as the existing

standard.

5. New Tech Oil Company

[Docket No. M–2001–001–M]

New Tech Oil Company, P.O. Box 68,

Kaycee, Wyoming 82639 has filed a

petition to modify the application of 30

CFR 57.11050(a) (escapeways and

refuges) to its North Tisdale Shaft No. 1

Mine (I.D. No. 48–01147) located in

Johnson County, Wyoming. The

petitioner requests a modification of the

existing standard to permit its man cage

hoist and ladder man-way to be used as

two separate escapeways. The petitioner

asserts that the proposed alternative

method would provide at least the same

measure of protection as the existing

standard.

6. New Tech Oil Company

[Docket No. M–2001–002–M]

New Tech Oil Company, P.O. Box 68,

Kaycee, Wyoming 82639 has filed a

petition to modify the application of 30

CFR 57.19054 (rope guides) to its North

Tisdale Shaft No. 1 Mine (I.D. No. 48–

01147) located in Johnson County,

Wyoming. The petitioner proposes to

use bridge strand wire rope in shafts as

rope guides. The petitioner states that:

(i) the locked coil rope is no longer

produced in the United States; (ii) the

three remaining manufacturers will not

produce small quantities of the locked

coil rope that is required for the Tech

Oil Company’s North Tisdale Shaft No.

1 Mine; and (iii) the bridge strand wire

rope would be 1–1⁄4 inches, 1 x 36

construction, structural strands. The

petitioner asserts that the proposed

alternative method would provide at

least the same measure of protection as

the existing standard.

NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS

ADMINISTRATION

Records Schedules; Availability and

Request for Comments

AGENCY: National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA).

ACTION: Notice of availability of

proposed records schedules; request for

comments.

SUMMARY: The National Archives and

Records Administration (NARA)

publishes notice at least once monthly

of certain Federal agency requests for

records disposition authority (records

schedules). Once approved by NARA,

records schedules provide mandatory

instructions on what happens to records

when no longer needed for current

Government business. They authorize

the preservation of records of

continuing value in the National

Archives of the United States and the

destruction, after a specified period, of

records lacking administrative, legal,

research, or other value. Notice is

published for records schedules in

which agencies propose to destroy

records not previously authorized for

disposal or reduce the retention period

of records already authorized for

disposal. NARA invites public

comments on such records schedules, as

required by 44 U.S.C. 3303a(a).

DATES: Requests for copies must be

received in writing on or before March

26, 2001. Once the appraisal of the

records is completed, NARA will send

a copy of the schedule. NARA staff

usually prepare appraisal

memorandums that contain additional

information concerning the records

covered by a proposed schedule. These,

too, may be requested and will be

provided once the appraisal is

completed. Requesters will be given 30

days to submit comments.

ADDRESSES: To request a copy of any

records schedule identified in this

notice, write to the Life Cycle

Management Division (NWML),

National Archives and Records

Administration (NARA), 8601 Adelphi

Road, College Park, MD 20740–6001.

Requests also may be transmitted by

FAX to 301–713–6852 or by e-mail to

records.mgt@arch2.nara.gov. Requesters

must cite the control number, which

appears in parentheses after the name of

the agency which submitted the

schedule, and must provide a mailing

address. Those who desire appraisal

reports should so indicate in their

request.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marie Allen, Director, Life Cycle

Management Division (NWML),

National Archives and Records

Administration, 8601 Adelphi Road,

College Park, MD 20740–6001.

Telephone: (301) 713–7110. E-mail:

records.mgt@arch2.nara.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Each year

Federal agencies create billions of

records on paper, film, magnetic tape,

and other media. To control this

accumulation, agency records managers

prepare schedules proposing retention

periods for records and submit these

schedules for NARA’s approval, using

the Standard Form (SF) 115, Request for

Records Disposition Authority. These

schedules provide for the timely transfer

into the National Archives of

historically valuable records and

authorize the disposal of all other

records after the agency no longer needs

them to conduct its business. Some

schedules are comprehensive and cover

all the records of an agency or one of its

major subdivisions. Most schedules,

however, cover records of only one

office or program or a few series of

records. Many of these update

previously approved schedules, and

some include records proposed as

permanent.

No Federal records are authorized for

destruction without the approval of the

Archivist of the United States. This

approval is granted only after a

thorough consideration of their

administrative use by the agency of

origin, the rights of the Government and

of private persons directly affected by

the Government’s activities, and

whether or not they have historical or

other value.
