R S & W Coal Company, Inc. Mine Safety and Health Administration Petitions for Modification The following parties have filed petitions to modify the application of existing safety standards under section 101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. 1. Mississippi Lignite Mining Company [Docket No. M–2005–003–C] Mississippi Lignite Mining Company, Rt. 3 Box 98, Ackerman, Mississippi 39735 has filed a petition to modify the application of 30 CFR 77.803 (Fail safe ground check circuits on high-voltage resistance grounded systems) to its Red Hills Mine (MSHA I.D. No. 22–00690) located in Choctaw County, Mississippi. The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to allow an alternative method of compliance when raising or lowering the boom mast at construction sites during initial Dragline assembly. This method would only be used during the boom mast raising or lowering, and the machine will not be performing mining operations when raising or lowering the boom for construction or maintenance. The procedure would also be applicable in instances of disassembly or major maintenance which require the boom to be raised or lowered. The petitioner has listed specific guidelines in this petition that would be followed to minimize the potential for electrical power loss during this critical boom procedure. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method would provide at least the same measure of protection as the existing standard. 2. Lone Mountain Processing, Inc.

The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to permit the use of air passing through inaccessible abandoned workings and additional areas not examined under 30 CFR 75.360, 30 CFR 75.361, and 30 CFR 75.364, to ventilate the only active working section provided the air meets the required quality specified in 30 CFR 75.321(a). This will ensure the maintenance of air quality by alternative methods of compliance through the sampling of section intake air at the gangway level during pre-shift, and on-shift examinations to test for carbon dioxide, methane, and oxygen deficiency and to suspend mine production when air quality contains more than 0.5 percent methane and 0.25 percent carbon dioxide. The petitioner has listed in this petition specific terms and conditions that would be followed when using its alternative method.
