[Docket No. M–2006–066–C]
Mine Safety and Health Administration
Monterey Coal Company, 14300
Brushy Mound Road, Carlinville,
Illinois 62626 has filed a petition to
modify the application of 30 CFR
75.364(b)(1) (Weekly examination) to its
No. 1 Mine (MSHA I.D. No. 11–00726)
located in Macoupin County, Illinois.
The petitioner requests a modification
of the existing standard to allow
evaluation points to be used to examine
inaccessible areas of the air courses in
the same proximate location where the
ventilating air enters and exits the
inaccessible areas. The petitioner
proposes to install an automatic sensing
system at the exit points. The petitioner
states that: (1) The inaccessible areas of
the affected air course have numerous
falls up to 50 feet high; (2) rehabilitation
of an entry or removal of stoppings to
make parallel entries common will be
hazardous to miners due to unstable
roof conditions; and (3) use of
evaluation points and automatic sensors
to examine these areas will provide a
safe method of examination in the air
courses. The petitioner asserts that the
proposed alternative method would
provide at least the same measure of
protection as the existing standard.

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 and 30 CFR part 44.
1. Jim Walter Resources, Inc.
[Docket No. M–2006–062–C]
Jim Walter Resources, Inc., P.O. Box
133, Brookwood, Alabama 35444 has
filed a petition to modify the
application of 30 CFR 75.1711–1
(Sealing of shaft openings) to its No. 4
Mine (MSHA I.D. No. 01–01247), No. 5
Mine (MSHA I.D. No. 01–01322), and
No. 7 Mine (MSHA I.D. No. 01–01401)
all located in Tuscaloosa County,
Alabama. The petitioner requests a
modification of the existing standard to
eliminate the requirement to cap shafts
with vent pipes. The petitioner states
that in previous experiences of
equipping caps with vent pipes, in some
instances, methane was believed to have
existed within the explosive range
immediately beneath the cap and
oxygen was present in sufficient
quantities to support an ignition or an
explosion. The petitioner states that to
equip caps with vent pipes will be more
detrimental to miners’ safety and health
than the current proposal. The
petitioner asserts that the proposed
alternative method would provide at
least the same measure of protection as
the existing standard.
