(2) The DM or designee may conduct
a conference prior to mining through
any plugged well to review and approve
the specific procedures for mining
through the well. Representatives of the
operator, the representative of miners,
and the appropriate State agency will be
informed within a reasonable time prior
to the conference, and be given an
opportunity to attend and participate.
This meeting may be called by the
operator.
(3) Mining in close proximity to or
through a plugged well will be done on
a shift approved by the DM or designee.
(4) Notify the DM or designee,
representative of the miners, and the
appropriate State agency in sufficient
time prior to the mining through
operation to have an opportunity to
have representatives present.
(5) When using continuous mining
equipment, install drivage sights at the
last open crosscut near the place to be
mined to ensure intersection of the well.
The drivage sights will not be more than
50 feet from the well. If longwall mining
methods are later used, install drivage
sights on 10-foot centers for a distance
of 50 feet in advance of the wellbore.
The drivage sights will be installed in
the headgate and tailgate.
(6) Firefighting equipment, including
fire extinguishers, rock dust, and
sufficient fire hose to reach the working
face area of the mine-through will be
available when either the conventional
or continuous mining method is used.
Locate the fire hose in the last open
crosscut of the entry or room. All fire
hoses will be ready for operation during
the mining through.
(7) Sufficient supplies of roof support
and ventilation materials will be
available and located at the last open
crosscut. In addition, an emergency plug
and/or plugs will be available in the
immediate area of the cut-through.
(8) Maintain at least the quantity of air
required by the approved mine
ventilation plan, but not less than 6,000
cubic feet of air per minute for scrubber
equipped continuous miners or not less
than 9,000 cubic feet per minute for
continuous miner sections using
auxiliary fans or line brattice only, to
ventilate the working face during the
mine-through operation. The quantity of
air required by the ventilation plan, but
not less than 30,000 cfm, will reach the
working face of each future longwall
during the mine-through operation.
(9) Check equipment for
permissibility and service on the shift
prior to mining through the well and
maintain the water line to the tail piece
with a sufficient amount of fire hose to
reach the farthest point of penetration
on the section.

(10) Calibrate methane monitor(s) on
the continuous mining machine or the
longwall shear and face on the shift
prior to mining through the well.
(11) When mining is in progress, test
methane levels with a hand-held
methane detector at least every 10
minutes from the time that mining with
the continuous mining machine is
within 20 feet of the well until the well
is intersected and immediately prior to
mining through it or from the time that
mining with longwall mining
equipment is within 10 feet of the well.
No individual is allowed on the return
side during the actual cutting process
until the mine-through has been
completed and the area examined and
declared safe.
(12) Keep the working place free from
accumulations of coal dust and coal
spillages, and place rock dust on the
roof, rib, and floor to within 20 feet of
the face when mining through the well
when using continuous or conventional
mining methods. Conduct rock dusting
on longwall sections on the roof, rib,
and floor up to both the headgate and
tailgate gob.
(13) Deenergize all equipment when
the wellbore is intersected and
thoroughly examine the place and
determined it safe before resuming
mining. No open flame is permitted in
the area until adequate ventilation has
been established around the wellbore.
(14) After a well has been intersected
and the working place determined safe,
mining will continue inby the well a
sufficient distance to permit adequate
ventilation around the area of the
wellbore.
(15) No person will be permitted in
the area of the cut-through operation
except those actually engaged in the
mining operation, mine management,
representative of the miners, personnel
from MSHA, and personnel from the
appropriate State agency.
(16) Mining will be coordinated by a
responsible person as defined in 30 CFR
75.1501.
(17) A certified official will directly
supervise the mining-through operation
and only the certified official in charge
will issue instructions concerning the
mining-through operation.
(18) MSHA personnel may interrupt
or halt the mining-through operation
when it is necessary for the safety of the
miners.
(19) A copy of the petition will be
maintained at the mine and be available
to the miners.
(20) The petitioner will file a plugging
affidavit stating the persons who
participated in the work, a description
of the plugging work, and a certification
PO 00000

by the petitioner that the well has been
plugged.
(21) Unless the existing records show
that an abandoned well was plugged
using techniques equivalent to the
proposed decision and orders terms and
condition, and that information is
submitted and accepted in accordance
as providing the required level of safety
by the DM, the well will again be
cleaned, inadequate plugging materials
drilled out and the well plugged in
accordance with the terms and
conditions of the proposed decision and
order before such wells may be cut
through or approached within the
allowed limits. Securing and
interpreting the suite of drill logs is
needed to ensure that, at a minimum,
the expanding cement plug extends
from at least 200 feet below the lowest
mineable seam through 100 feet above
the highest mineable seam, unless the
seams are separated by an interval
greater than 300 feet, in which case,
each seam may be plugged individually.
Within 60 days after this petition
becomes final, the petitioner will submit
proposed revisions for its approved part
48 training plan to the DM. These
proposed revisions will include initial
and refresher training regarding
compliance with the terms and
conditions stated in the proposed
decision and order.
The petitioner asserts that the
proposed alternative method will at all
times guarantee no less than the same
measure or protection afforded by the
existing standard.

693–2222.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The Department of Labor, as part of its
continuing effort to reduce paperwork
and respondent (i.e., employer) burden,
conducts a preclearance consultation
program to provide the public with an
opportunity to comment on proposed
and continuing information collection
requirements in accord with the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
(PRA–95) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This
program ensures that information is in
the desired format, reporting burden
(time and costs) is minimal, collection
instruments are clearly understood, and
OSHA’s estimate of the information
collection burden is accurate. The
Occupational Safety and Health Act of
1970 (the OSH Act) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the OSH
Act or for developing information
regarding the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires OSHA to obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Paragraph (b)(3) of the Standard
specifies that systems have nameplates
if required, and that these nameplates
‘‘be permanently attached to the system
(as specified by paragraph (b)(3)(ii)(j)) so
as to be readily accessible for inspection
. . .’’ In addition, this paragraph
requires that markings on containers
and systems covered by paragraphs (c)
(‘‘Systems utilizing stationary,
nonrefrigerated storage containers’’), (f)
(‘‘Tank motor vehicles for the
transportation of ammonia’’), (g)
(‘‘Systems mounted on farm vehicles
other than for the application of
ammonia’’), and (h) (‘‘Systems mounted
on farm vehicles for the application of
ammonia’’) provide information
regarding nine specific characteristics of
the containers and systems. Similarly,
paragraph (b)(4) of the Standard
specifies that refrigerated containers be
marked with a nameplate on the outer
covering in an accessible place which
PO 00000
Frm 00070
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
provides information regarding eight
specific characteristics of the container.
The required markings ensure that
employers use only properly designed
and tested containers and systems to
store anhydrous ammonia, thereby
preventing accidental release of, and
exposure of workers to, this highly toxic
and corrosive substance. In addition,
these requirements provide the most
efficient means for an OSHA
compliance officer to ensure that the
containers and systems are safe.
II. Special Issues for Comment
OSHA has a particular interest in
comments on the following issues:
• Whether the proposed information
collection requirements are necessary
for the proper performance of the
Agency’s functions, including whether
the information is useful;
• The accuracy of OSHA’s estimate of
the burden (time and cost) of the
information collection requirements,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• The quality, utility, and clarity of
the information collected; and
• Ways to minimize the burden on
employers who must comply; for
example, by using automated or other
technological information collection
and transmission techniques.
III. Proposed Actions
OSHA is requesting that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirements specified in the
Anhydrous Ammonia Standard (29 CFR
1910.111). The Agency is requesting
that it retain its previous estimate of 345
burden hours associated with this
Standard. The Agency will summarize
the comments submitted in response to
this notice and will include this
summary in the request to OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Title: Standard on the Storage and
Handling of Anhydrous Ammonia (29
CFR 1910.111).
OMB Number: 1218–0208.
Affected Public: Farms.
Number of Respondents: 203,000.
Frequency of Responses: On occasion.
Total Responses: 2,030.
Average Time per Response: 10
minutes (.17 hour) for a worker to
replace or revise markings on ammonia
containers.
Estimated Total Burden Hours: 345.
Estimated Cost (Operation and
Maintenance): $0.
