SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) allows the mine operator or
representative of miners to file a
petition to modify the application of any
mandatory safety standard to a coal or
other mine if the Secretary determines
that: (1) An alternative method of
achieving the result of such standard
exists, which will at all times guarantee
no less than the same measure of
protection afforded the miners of such
mine by such standard; or (2) that the
application of such standard to such
mine will result in a diminution of
safety to the miners in such mine. In
addition, the regulations at 30 CFR
44.10 and 44.11 establish the
requirements and procedures for filing
petitions for modifications.

MSHA I.D. No. 36–09127, located in
Cambria County, Pennsylvania.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1101–
1(b) (Deluge-type water spray systems).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit the use of delugetype water spray systems installed at
belt conveyor drives in lieu of using
blow-off dust covers. The petitioner
proposes to have a person who is
trained in the testing procedure specific
to the deluge-type water spray fire
suppression systems conduct
examinations on a weekly basis as
follows: (1) Conduct a visual
examination of each deluge-type water
spray fire suppression system; (2)
conduct a functional test of each delugetype water spray system fire
suppression system and observe its
performance weekly instead of
annually; and (3) record the results of
the examination and functional test in a
book maintained on the surface, which
would be retained and made available to
the authorized representative of the
Secretary. The petitioner states that: (1)
Any malfunction or clogged nozzle
detected as a result of the weekly
examination or functional test will be
corrected immediately; (2) the proposed
alternative will provide a greater
measure of protection because the
weekly functional tests will ensure that
the system functions properly and that
all deluge-type nozzles respond as
designed with adequate pressure and
flow rates; and (3) the methods and
conditions in this petition will be
included in the initial and annual
refresher training as required in its
approved Part 48 training plans to
ensure that the miners are aware of the
stipulations contained in the petition.
The petitioner asserts that the proposed
alternative method at all times
guarantees no less than the same
measure of protection afforded by the
standard.
Docket Number: M–2008–002–M.
Petitioner: East Tennessee Zinc
Company, LLC, P.O. Box 160, 2421 W.

Mine: Coy Mine, MSHA I.D. No. 40–

County, Tennessee; and Immel Mine,
MSHA I.D. No. 40–00170, located in

57.11052(d) (Refuge areas).

Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard related to compressed air lines,
water lines, suitable hand tools, and
stopping materials to permit an
alternative method of compliance to use
self-supporting refuge chambers. The
petitioner states that: (1) The refuge
chambers presently used (Strata Safety
Mine Refuge Chamber) contain an
internal air supply with a carbon
dioxide scrubber; (2) in the event of
main power failure, the unit has a built
in battery back-up, which will operate
for a minimum of 48 hours; (3) the
chambers have enough food, water and
bathroom facilities for the designated
occupancy; and (4) the chambers meet
the intent of the proposed rules for
refuge alternatives for underground coal
mines even though they are being
utilized in an underground metal mine.
The petitioner further states that: (1)
The chambers are used in a noncombustible environment so the control
systems are electrical; (2) by allowing
the use of refuge chambers that do not
require air and water lines to be
connected, there will be greater
flexibility in usage location; (3)
flexibility will allow the refuge
chambers to be relocated quickly to
working areas as the work face
advances; and (4) by having air and
water inside the chamber, there is
minimal opportunity for damage to
these services from normal mining
operations (i.e. scaling, blasting, etc.)
thus making them a safety
improvement. The petitioner asserts that
the alternative method would provide
the same degree of safety as the existing
standard.
