FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background On June 17, 2003 we published a final rule, Testing and Evaluation by Independent Laboratories and NonMSHA Product Safety Standards (68 FR 36417). The final rule allows manufacturers to test their products in accordance with non-MSHA standards if we determine that the non-MSHA standard is equivalent to our applicable product approval requirements or can be modified to provide at least the same level of protection. Part 7 of 30 CFR specifies requirements for our approval of applicant or third party testing and evaluation of equipment and materials for use in underground mines that do not involve subjective testing. Paragraph 7.10(b) requires us to publish our intent to review any non-MSHA product safety standard for equivalency in the Federal Register for the purpose of soliciting public input. In addition, paragraph 7.10(c) requires us to list our equivalency determinations in 30 CFR part 7. E:\FR\FM\28MRP1.SGM 28MRP1 dsatterwhite on PROD1PC76 with PROPOSALS Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 59 / Tuesday, March 28, 2006 / Proposed Rules EPA is a Federal agency that regulates both the gaseous and diesel particulate matter emissions from nonroad diesel engines sold in the United States. The EPA standards in 40 CFR part 89, Control of Emissions from New and InUse Nonroad Compression-Ignition Engines, establish laboratory testing procedures and application requirements for nonroad engines. Diesel engine manufacturers are redesigning their engines to meet new EPA emission standards. Manufacturers must apply for our approval for each new engine design if they are to be used in underground coal mines. Manufacturers would benefit if they were able to streamline engine testing so they could solicit approval from us as well as EPA using the same set of results. We are asking for public input concerning our intent to review certain EPA Nonroad Diesel Engine standards published under part 89, Title 40, CFR to determine whether these standards provide, or could be modified to provide, at least the same degree of protection as our existing applicable requirements. We intend to limit our review to the following EPA standards: • 89.2, Definitions, • 89.6, Reference materials, • 89.115, Application for certificate, • 89.119, Emission tests, • Subpart D, Emission Test Equipment Provisions, • Appendix A, to Subpart D, • Appendix B, to Subpart D, and • Subpart E, Exhaust Emission Test Procedures. We intend to review these specific EPA standards to determine whether the EPA requirements provide adequate testing procedures and technical information needed for the issuance of our approval under part 7, subpart E. The requirements in our part 7 apply to certain equipment and materials whose product testing and evaluation does not involve subjective analysis. We have reviewed the applicable EPA requirements and have determined that they do not involve subjective analysis. If we determine the specified sections of 40 CFR part 89 would provide at least the same degree of protection in their original form or could be modified to demonstrate equivalency to 30 CFR part 7, subpart E, Category B diesel engines, then we would amend 30 CFR part 7 accordingly. If modifications are required, they would also be specified in our part 7. We welcome comments on whether the EPA requirements provide testing procedures and technical information equivalent to the approval requirements set out in part 7 subpart E. If you feel VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:43 Mar 27, 2006 Jkt 208001 the specified sections of 40 CFR part 89 do not provide the same degree of protection in their original form, but could be modified to do so, specify what modifications are necessary to demonstrate equivalency. After the comment period closes, we will perform an evaluation of the EPA standards. At the conclusion of the evaluation, we will publish our determination in the Federal Register accompanied by a summary of the findings and a list of required modifications, if necessary. 15359 Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), Labor.

SUMMARY: We (the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA)) are reproposing provisions involving two issues included in the notice of proposed rulemaking that was published in the Federal Register on July 16, 2004. These issues involve the following: Types of trailing cables that can be used with high-voltage continuous mining machines; and a requirement to use high-voltage insulating gloves or insulated cable handling tools when handling energized high-voltage trailing cables. In connection with the second issue, we are also addressing the availability requirement for high-voltage insulating gloves and insulated cable handling tools, and the safety requirements for these tools. We are reproposing these provisions after consideration of the oral and written pre- and post-hearing comments that we received. DATES: Comments must be received by May 30, 2006. ADDRESSES: Comments must be clearly identified as such and transmitted electronically to http:// www.regulations.gov or to zzMSHAcomments@dol.gov. Include ‘‘RIN 1219– AB34’’ in the subject line of the I. Rulemaking Background On July 16, 2004, we published a proposed rule in the Federal Register (69 FR 42812) to establish design requirements for approval of highvoltage continuous mining machines operating in face areas of coal underground mines. The rule also proposed to establish new mandatory electrical safety standards for the installation, use, and maintenance of high-voltage continuous mining machines used in underground coal mines. The proposed rule would enable mines to safely utilize high-voltage continuous mining machines with enhanced safety protection from fire, explosion, and shock hazards without the need for mine operators to file petitions for modification (PFM) to use them. In the July 16, 2004 Federal Register notice we also announced that four public hearings would be held in September 2004. The post-hearing comment period was scheduled to close on October 14, 2004. However, on August 23, 2004, we published a notice changing the public hearing dates to November 2004, and the close of the post-hearing comment period to Dated: March 20, 2006. David G. Dye, Acting Assistant Secretary for Mine Safety and Health. [FR Doc.

On June 17, 2003 we published a final rule, Testing and Evaluation
by Independent Laboratories and Non-MSHA Product Safety Standards (68
FR 36417). The final rule allows manufacturers to test their products
in accordance with non-MSHA standards if we determine that the non-MSHA
standard is equivalent to our applicable product approval requirements
or can be modified to provide at least the same level of protection.
Part 7 of 30 CFR specifies requirements for our approval of
applicant or third party testing and evaluation of equipment and
materials for use in underground mines that do not involve subjective
testing. Paragraph 7.10(b) requires us to publish our intent to review
any non-MSHA product safety standard for equivalency in the Federal
Register for the purpose of soliciting public input. In addition,
paragraph 7.10(c) requires us to list our equivalency determinations in
30 CFR part 7.
EPA is a Federal agency that regulates both the gaseous and diesel
particulate matter emissions from nonroad diesel engines sold in the
United States. The EPA standards in 40 CFR part 89, Control of
Emissions from New and In-Use Nonroad Compression-Ignition Engines,
establish laboratory testing procedures and application requirements
for nonroad engines. Diesel engine manufacturers are redesigning their
engines to meet new EPA emission standards. Manufacturers must apply
for our approval for each new engine design if they are to be used in
underground coal mines. Manufacturers would benefit if they were able
to streamline engine testing so they could solicit approval from us as
well as EPA using the same set of results.
We are asking for public input concerning our intent to review
certain EPA Nonroad Diesel Engine standards published under part 89,
Title 40, CFR to determine whether these standards provide, or could be
modified to provide, at least the same degree of protection as our
existing applicable requirements. We intend to limit our review to the
following EPA standards:
We intend to review these specific EPA standards to determine
whether the EPA requirements provide adequate testing procedures and
technical information needed for the issuance of our approval under
part 7, subpart E. The requirements in our part 7 apply to certain
equipment and materials whose product testing and evaluation does not
involve subjective analysis. We have reviewed the applicable EPA
requirements and have determined that they do not involve subjective
If we determine the specified sections of 40 CFR part 89 would
provide at least the same degree of protection in their original form
or could be modified to demonstrate equivalency to 30 CFR part 7,
subpart E, Category B diesel engines, then we would amend 30 CFR part 7
accordingly. If modifications are required, they would also be
specified in our part 7.
We welcome comments on whether the EPA requirements provide testing
procedures and technical information equivalent to the approval
requirements set out in part 7 subpart E. If you feel the specified
sections of 40 CFR part 89 do not provide the same degree of protection
in their original form, but could be modified to do so, specify what
modifications are necessary to demonstrate equivalency. After the
comment period closes, we will perform an evaluation of the EPA
standards. At the conclusion of the evaluation, we will publish our
determination in the Federal Register accompanied by a summary of the
findings and a list of required modifications, if necessary.
