Jkt 214001
I. Introduction
Under section 101 of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977, a mine
operator may petition and the Secretary
of Labor (Secretary) may modify the
application of a mandatory safety
standard to that mine if the Secretary
determines that: (1) an alternative
method exists that will guarantee no
less protection for the miners affected
than that provided by the standard; or
(2) that the application of the standard
will result in a diminution of safety to
the affected miners.
MSHA bases the final decision on the
petitioner’s statements, any comments
and information submitted by interested
persons, and a field investigation of the
conditions at the mine. In some
instances, MSHA may approve a
petition for modification on the
condition that the mine operator
complies with other requirements noted
in the decision.
