Agenda
[Docket No. M–2006–030–C]
Orchard Coal Company, 214 Vaux
Road, Tremont, Pennsylvania 17981 has
filed a petition to modify the
application of 30 CFR 75.1714–2(c)
(Self-rescue devices; use and location
requirements) to its Orchard Slope Mine
(MSHA I.D. No. 36–08346) located in
Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. The
petitioner requests a modification of the
existing standard to permit selfcontained self-rescue (SCSR) devices to
be stored within 200 feet of the working
face. The petitioner states that in steeply
pitching, conventional anthracite mines,
entries are advanced as far as 200 feet
vertically, which exposes the miner to
trip and fall hazards. The petitioner
further states that the necessity of
carrying supplies up narrow entries
while wearing the SCSRs may result in
damage to the SCSR and also may result
in a diminution of safety to the miner.
The petitioner asserts that modification
of the standard would provide at least
the same measure of protection as the
existing standard.
