tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
42016
Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 137 / Tuesday, July 17, 2012 / Notices
The petitioner asserts that the
proposed alternative method will at all
times guarantee no less than the same
measure of protection as that afforded
by the existing standard.
Docket Number: M–2012–148–C.
Petitioner: McElroy Coal Company,
Three Gateway Center, Suite 1340, 401
Liberty Avenue, Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania 15222–1000.
Mine: McElroy Mine, MSHA I.D. No.
46–01437, located in Marshall County,
West Virginia.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR
75.1002(a) (Installation of electric
equipment and conductors;
permissibility).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit an alternative
method of compliance to permit the use
of battery-powered nonpermissible
surveying equipment within 150 feet of
pillar workings, including, but not
limited to, portable battery-operated
mine transits, total station surveying
equipment, distance meters, and data
loggers. The petitioner states that:
(1) To comply with requirements for
mine ventilation maps and mine maps
in 30 CFR 75.372 and 75.1200, use of
the most practical and accurate
surveying equipment is necessary. To
ensure the safety of the miners in active
mines and to protect miners in future
mines that may mine in close proximity
to these same active mines, it is
necessary to determine the exact
location and extent of the mine
workings.
(2) Application of the existing
standard would result in a diminution
of safety to the miners. Underground
mining by its nature and size, and the
complexity of mine plans requires that
accurate and precise measurements be
completed in a prompt and efficient
manner. The petitioner proposes the
following as an alternative to the
existing standard:
(a) Nonpermissible electronic
surveying equipment will be used when
equivalent permissible electronic
surveying equipment is not available.
Such nonpermissible surveying
equipment includes portable batteryoperated total station surveying
equipment, mine transits, distance
meters, and data loggers.
(b) All nonpermissible electronic
surveying equipment to be used within
150 feet of pillar workings will be
examined by surveying personnel prior
to use to ensure the equipment is being
maintained in a safe operating
condition. These examinations will
include the following steps:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:53 Jul 16, 2012
Jkt 226001
(i) Checking the instrument for any
physical damage and the integrity of the
case.
(ii) Removing the battery and
inspecting for corrosion.
(iii) Inspecting the contact points to
ensure a secure connection to the
battery.
(iv) Reinserting the battery and
powering up and shutting down to
ensure proper connections.
(v) Checking the battery compartment
cover to ensure that it is securely
fastened.
(c) The results of such examinations
will be recorded and retained for one
year and made available to MSHA on
request.
(d) A qualified person as defined in
30 CFR 75.151 will continuously
monitor for methane immediately before
and during the use of nonpermissible
surveying equipment within 150 feet of
pillar workings.
(e) Nonpermissible surveying
equipment will not be used if methane
is detected in concentrations at or above
one percent for the area being surveyed.
When methane is detected at such levels
while the nonpermissible surveying
equipment is being used, the equipment
will be deenergized immediately and
the nonpermissible electronic
equipment withdrawn further than 150
feet from pillar workings.
(f) All hand-held methane detectors
will be MSHA-approved and
maintained in permissible and proper
operating condition as defined in 30
CFR 75.320.
(g) Batteries contained in the
surveying equipment must be changed
out or charged in fresh air more than
150 feet from pillar workings.
(h) Qualified personnel engaged in the
use of surveying equipment will be
properly trained to recognize the
hazards and limitations associated with
the use of nonpermissible surveying
equipment in areas where methane
could be present.
(i) The nonpermissible surveying
equipment will not be put into service
until MSHA has initially inspected the
equipment and determined that it is in
compliance with all the terms and
conditions in this petition.
Within 60 days after the Proposed
Decision and Order becomes final, the
petitioner will submit proposed
revisions for its approved 30 CFR part
48 training plan to the District Manager.
The revisions will specify initial and
refresher training regarding the terms
and conditions in the Proposed Decision
and Order.
The petitioner asserts that the
proposed alternative method will at all
times guarantee no less than the same

Applicants’ Representations
1. The AmericaFirst Trust is a unit
investment trust (‘‘UIT’’) that is
registered under the Act. Any future
Trust will be a registered UIT. AFSI will
be registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as a broker-dealer
and is the Depositor of the AmericaFirst
Trust. Each Series will be created by a
trust indenture between the Depositor
and a banking institution or trust
company as trustee (‘‘Trustee’’).
2. The Depositor acquires a portfolio
of securities, which it deposits with the
Trustee in exchange for certificates
representing units of fractional
undivided interest in the Series’
portfolio (‘‘Units’’). The Units are
offered to the public through the
Depositor and dealers at a price which,
during the initial offering period, is
PO 00000
Frm 00051
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703

based upon the aggregate market value
of the underlying securities, or, the
aggregate offering side evaluation of the
underlying securities if the underlying
securities are not listed on a securities
exchange, plus a front-end sales charge.
The maximum sales charge may be
reduced in compliance with rule
22d–1 under the Act in certain
circumstances, which are disclosed in
the Series’ prospectus.
3. The Depositor is not legally
obligated, and does not currently
intend, to maintain a secondary market
for Units of outstanding equity Series,
but may seek to do so in the future.
Other broker-dealers may or may not
maintain a secondary market for Units
of a Series. If a secondary market is
maintained, investors will be able to
purchase Units on the secondary market
at the current public offering price plus
a front-end sales charge. If such a
market is not maintained at any time for
any Series, holders of the Units
(‘‘Unitholders’’) of that Series may
redeem their Units through the Trustee.
A. Deferred Sales Charge and Waiver of
Deferred Sales Charge Under Certain
Circumstances
1. Applicants request an order to the
extent necessary to permit one or more
Series to impose a sales charge on a
deferred basis (‘‘DSC’’). For each Series,
the Depositor would set a maximum
sales charge per Unit, a portion of which
may be collected ‘‘up front’’ (i.e., at the
time an investor purchases the Units).
The DSC would be collected
subsequently in installments
(‘‘Installment Payments’’) as described
in the application. The Depositor would
not add any amount for interest or any
similar or related charge to adjust for
such deferral.
2. When a Unitholder redeems or sells
Units, the Depositor intends to deduct
any unpaid DSC from the redemption or
sale proceeds. When calculating the
amount due, the Depositor will assume
that Units on which the DSC has been
paid in full are redeemed or sold first.
With respect to Units on which the DSC
has not been paid in full, the Depositor
will assume that the Units held for the
longest time are redeemed or sold first.
Applicants represent that the DSC
collected at the time of redemption or
sale, together with the Installment
Payments and any amount collected up
front, will not exceed the maximum
sales charge per Unit. Under certain
circumstances, the Depositor may waive
the collection of any unpaid DSC in
connection with redemptions or sales of
Units. These circumstances will be
disclosed in the prospectus for the
relevant Series and implemented in
