Download as PDF 57298 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 181 / Monday, September 20, 2010 / Notices jdjones on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES 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 modification. II. Petitions for Modification Docket Number: M–2010–033–C. Petitioner: Matrix Energy, LLC, Mine No. 1, MSHA I.D. No. 15–18575; Coalburg Enterprises, Inc., Mine No. 8, MSHA I.D. No. 15–19494; and Eagle Coal Company, Inc., Mine No. 22, MSHA I.D. No. 15–16663 and Mine No. 24, MSHA I.D. No. 15–19296, Rt. 292, P.O. Box 190, Lovely, Kentucky 41231. All of these mines are located in Martin County, Kentucky. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.208 (Warning devices). Modification Request: The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to that portion of the standard requiring the end of permanent roof support to be posted with readily visible warning. The petitioner states that: (1) A greater degree of safety is provided for the miner by hanging the reflector on the second row, rather than on the first row of permanent support outby unsupported roof; and (2) hanging the reflector on the first row would subject a portion of the miner’s body inby supported roof, which could result in a serious injury. Therefore, the petitioner requests to hang the reflector on the second row of permanent support outby unsupported roof. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method will at all times comply with the safety standard and guarantee greater protection than the existing standard. Docket Number: M–2010–034–C. Petitioner: Four O Mining Corporation, P.O. Box 148, Vansant, Virginia 24656 . Mine: No. 10 Mine, MSHA I.D. No. 44–07217, located in Dickenson County, Virginia. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1101– 2 (Installation of deluge-type sprays). Modification Request: The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to permit an alternative method of compliance in lieu of providing a fire suppression system on the belt drive, as it pertains to 50 foot coverage of fire suppression. The petitioner requests this modification because of the Fairchild continuous miner and the rapid haul that travels up and down from near the belt drive to the end. To ensure safety, the petitioner proposes to put one man with a CO VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:00 Sep 17, 2010 Jkt 220001 Detector with a 1-1/2 inch fire hose with a firefighting nozzle hooked up at all times until the 50 foot distance is established from the belt drive to the rapid haul. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method will provide a measure of protection equal to or greater than that of the existing standard. Dated: September 14, 2010. Patricia W. Silvey, Director, Office of Standards, Regulations and Variances.
