Persons may review a complete description of these procedures at the MSHA address listed in this notice. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method will at all times guarantee no less than the same measure of protection to all miners at the Prairie Eagle Underground Mine as would be provided by the mandatory standard. Docket Number: M–2007–001–M. Petitioner: Ararat Rock Products Company, P.O. Box 988, Mount Airy, North Carolina 27030. Mine: Surry Mine and Mill, (MSHA I.D. No. 31–00002), located in Surry County, North Carolina. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 56.17001 (Illumination of surface working areas). Modification Request: The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to permit the use of hydraulic hammers without lights on the booms on Caterpillar 235C excavator, Serial Number 2PG00480, and Caterpillar 245 excavator, Serial Number 95V802. The petitioner states that: (1) They only operate during the daylight hours of 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. year round; (2) the nature of their stone is hard and produces heavy vibrations, which presents a problem in maintaining lights on the booms of the hydraulic hammers; and (3) all miners will be withdrawn from the equipment that is in operation when visibility is limited. The petitioner further states that in the event of rain, snow, or fog in the pit area where the hammers are located all activity will cease, and the cab lights will be retained and maintained because they are not subject to the shock and vibration like the boom lights. The petitioner asserts that application of the existing standard reduces the safety of the mechanics because constant repair to the boom lights exposes them to strains as well as slips, trips, and falls. Docket Number: M–2007–002–M. Petitioner: Oldcastle Industrial Minerals, 550 South Biesecker Road, Thomasville, Pennsylvania 17364. Mine: Thomasville Mine, (MSHA I.D. No. 36–03432), located in York County, Pennsylvania. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 49.2(b) (Availability of mine rescue teams). Modification Request: The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to permit the use of two mine rescue teams of three members with one alternate for each team instead of two teams of five members and one alternate for each team. The petitioner states that the underground mine is small and VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:59 Apr 25, 2007 Jkt 211001 there is not enough room to accommodate more than three or four miners in the working places, and to use five or more rescue team members in the confined working places of the mine would result in a diminution of safety to the miners and the members of the mine rescue team. Petitioner also asserts that because electric power does not reach the bottom of the slope and is hauled by hand trammed cars, the risk of disaster is considerably reduced. Finally, petitioner states that the Pennsylvania Deep Mine Safety and other surrounding mines will assist them in an emergency. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method will in no way provide less than the same measure of protection afforded the miners under the existing standard. awareness as to the advantages of hiring veterans.
