Notice of a Change in Status of an
Extended Benefit (EB) Period for
Alaska
This notice announces a change in
benefit period eligibility under the EB
Program for Alaska.
Summary: The following change has
occurred since the publication of the
last notice regarding the State’s EB
status:
• Alaska’s 13-week insured
unemployment rate for the week ending
April 9, 2005, fell below the 6.0 percent
threshold and was less than 120 percent
of the average for the corresponding 13week period for the prior two (2) years,
causing Alaska’s EB period that began
March 6, 2005, to trigger ‘‘off’’ effective
June 4, 2005.
Information for Claimants
The duration of benefits payable in
the EB Program, and the terms and
conditions on which they are payable,
are governed by the Federal-State
Extended Unemployment Compensation
Act of 1970, as amended, and the
PO 00000
Frm 00084
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
operating instructions issued to the
states by the U.S. Department of Labor.
In the case of a state ending an EB
period, the State Workforce Agency will
furnish a written notice to each
individual who is currently filing a
claim for EB of the forthcoming end of
the EB period and its effect on the
individual’s rights to EB (20 CFR
615.13(c)(4)).
Signed at Washington, DC, on July 1, 2005.

Summary of Decisions Granting in
Whole or in Part Petitions for
Modification
Mine Safety and Health
Administration (MSHA), Labor.
ACTION: Notice of affirmative decisions
issued by the Administrators for Coal
Mine Safety and Health and Metal and
Nonmetal Mine Safety and Health on
petitions for modification of the
application of mandatory safety
standards.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: Under section 101 of the
Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of
1977, the Secretary of Labor (Secretary)
may allow the modification of the
application of a mandatory safety
standard to a mine if the Secretary
determines either that an alternate
method exists at a specific mine that
will guarantee no less protection for the
miners affected than that provided by
the standard, or that the application of
the standard at a specific mine will
result in a diminution of safety to the
affected miners.
Final decisions on these petitions are
based on the petitioner’s statements,
comments and information submitted
by interested persons, and a field
investigation of the conditions at the
mine. MSHA, as designee of the
Secretary, has granted or partially
granted the requests for modification
listed below. In some instances, the
decisions are conditioned upon
compliance with stipulations stated in
the decision. The term FR Notice
appears in the list of affirmative
decisions below. The term refers to the
Federal Register volume and page
where MSHA published a notice of the
filing of the petition for modification.

Summary of Findings: Petitioner’s
proposal is to use the belt entry as a
return air course during two-entry
longwall development, and as an intake
air course during longwall extraction to
insure an adequate quantity of
ventilation to dilute and render
harmless any methane or other noxious
gases that otherwise may accumulate.
This is considered an acceptable
alternative method for the South
Crandall Canyon Mine. MSHA grants
the petition for modification for the use
of belt air in two-entry longwall mining
systems and use of belt air course as a
return air course for the South Crandall
Canyon Mine with conditions.
