Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 202 / Friday, October 19, 2007 / Notices
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.364(a)
(Weekly examination).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit an alternative
method of conducting the required
weekly examination to the deepest
points of penetration in the mines 2
West Extension Section. The petitioner
proposes to: (1) Flood the down dip
portions of the 2 West Extension section
to a maximum elevation of 1020. The
flooding would occur naturally as water
infiltrates into part of the mine; and (2)
conduct examinations along the water’s
edge and adjust ventilation controls
during the examinations to ensure
proper ventilation is maintained, at
intervals not to exceed 7 days, as the
water rises and/or recedes in the 2 West
Extension section. The petitioner states
that: (1) The flood level in the 2 West
Extension section will be controlled by
pumping; (2) a mine dewatering system
will be installed in the adjacent 2 Right
section that is connected to 2 West
Extension via an inseam horizontal
borehole with an 8-inch cased inside
diameter located at approximately the
1005 elevation to provide water control
to a minimum of 1005 foot elevation; (3)
a maximum flood elevation will be
controlled by monitoring the mine pool
via water level sensors and during the
required 30 CFR 75.364(a) weekly
physical examination of the flood line
or water’s edge; (4) it is estimated that
it takes approximately 300 days for the
2 West Extension section to flood, so if
the proposed maximum flood elevation
of 1020 feet is reached prior to
completion of the dewatering facility, an
in-pump station will be used to
maintain the approved flood level; (5)
flooding the section will provide a water
seal for a considerable portion of the
worked out area, which will eliminate
the requirement to travel into the area
for examinations; (6) the alternative to
flooding the 2 West Extension section is
to control the water by pumping which
requires maintaining 6,000 +/¥ feet of
electrical cable, 8 distribution boxes,
motor controls, a submersible pump,
and other associated electrical
components; and (7) pumping the water
out of 2 West Extension section would
require personnel to travel over a mile
from an active section and routed
through worked out areas to the pump
installation to conduct a pre-shift
examination. The petitioner asserts that
the proposed alternative method will at
all times guarantee no less than the
same measure of protection afforded the
miners by such standard.
Docket Number: M–2007–008–M.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
16:46 Oct 18, 2007
Jkt 214001
Petitioner: Phelps Dodge Tyrone, Inc.,
P.O. Drawer 571, Tyrone, New Mexico
88065.
Mine: Tyrone Mine, MSHA I.D. No.
29–00159, located in Grant County, New
Mexico.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 56.14207
(Parking procedures for unattended
equipment).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit wheel chocks to be
placed in front and behind the wheel
when the vehicle is parked instead of
applying the mechanical parking brake.
The petitioner states that the
temperature drops below 32 degrees
Fahrenheit during the colder months in
Grant County. There exists a potential
for the mechanical parking brakes to
freeze and not release. If the brakes are
not fully released prior to operating the
vehicle, the effectiveness of the brake is
reduced, eventually rendering the brake
useless. The petitioner further states
that the proposed alternative method
would only apply to light vehicles
parked on level ground during the
winter months when the likelihood of
the mechanical parking brake freezing is
high. The petitioner asserts that
application of the existing standard has
the potential of compromising the safety
of the miners during the colder months
in New Mexico.
Docket Number: M–2007–009–M.
Petitioner: Unimin Corporation, 48
West Boscawen Street, Winchester,
Virginia 22601.
Mine: Unimin Elco Plant, MSHA I.D.
No. 11–01981, located in Alexander
County, Illinois.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 56.13020
(Use of compressed air).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit the use of a NIOSHtested clothes cleaning booth process for
cleaning miners’ dust laden clothing.
The petitioner states that: (1) Only the
miners trained in the operation of the
NIOSH-tested clothes cleaning booth
process will be permitted to use the
process; (2) the NIOSH-tested process
uses controlled compressed air for the
purpose of cleaning miners’ dust laden
clothing; (3) all miners entering the
clothes cleaning booth will be required
to wear full seal goggles for eye
protection, ear plugs or muffs for
hearing protection, and fit tested
respirators with N100 filters for
respiratory protection; (4) the NIOSHtested clothes cleaning booth process
will have a caution sign conspicuously
posted indicating that use of half-face
fit-tested respirators with N100 filters,
hearing protection, and full seal eye

goggles are required before entering the
booth. The petitioner asserts that the
proposed alternative method would
provide at least the same measure of
protection as the existing standard, and
will provide a direct reduction in
exposure to respirable crystalline silica
dust. The petitioner has listed
additional procedures in this petition
that will be used when the proposed
alternative method is implemented.
Persons may review a complete
description of the procedures and
training requirements at the MSHA
address listed in this notice.
Docket Number: M–2007–010–M.
Petitioner: St. Lawrence Zinc
Company, LLC, 408 Sylvia Lake Road,
Gouverneur, New York 13642.
Mine: St. Lawrence Zinc Mine, MSHA
I.D. No. 30–00185, located in St.
Lawrence County, New York.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR
57.11052(d) (Refuge areas).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit refuge chambers in
its underground mines to be exempt
from the required waterlines being
piped into the refuge chambers. The
petitioner proposes to store 50 gallons of
potable bottled spring water in the
refuge chambers. The petitioner states
that: (1) The bottled water would be
stored and cycled out in accordance
with the suppliers’ two year shelf life;
(2) the storage of 50 gallons of potable
water in each refuge chamber would
ensure that the miners have an ample
supply of potable drinking water at all
times in the refuge chamber, because in
a mine disaster, waterlines, pumps, and
electrical systems could fail. The
petitioner asserts that modification of
the existing standard would in no way
diminish or lessen the measure of
protection afforded by the standard for
the miners.
Dated: October 12, 2007.

Director, Office of Standards, Regulations,
and Variances.
