on Campus Program (Campus Program).
(3) Agency form number, if any, and
the applicable component of the
Department of Justice sponsoring the
collection: Form Number: 1122–0005.
U.S. Department of Justice, Office on
Violence Against Women.
(4) Affected public who will be asked
or required to respond, as well as a brief
abstract: The affected public includes
the approximately 100 grantees
(institutions of higher education) of the
Campus Program whose eligibility is
determined by statute. Campus Program
grants may be used to enhance victim
services and develop programs to
prevent violent crimes against women
on campuses. The Campus Program also
enables institutions of higher education
to develop and strengthen effective
security and investigation strategies to
combat violent crimes against women
on campuses, including domestic
violence, dating violence, sexual
assault, and stalking.
(5) An estimate of the total number of
respondents and the amount of time
estimated for an average respondent to
respond/reply: It is estimated that it will
take the approximately 100 respondents
(Campus Program grantees)
approximately one hour to complete a
semi-annual progress report. The semiannual progress report is divided into
sections that pertain to the different
types of activities in which grantees
may engage. A Campus Program grantee
will only be required to complete the
sections of the form that pertain to its
own specific activities.
(6) An estimate of the total public
burden (in hours) associated with the
collection: The total annual hour burden
to complete the data collection forms is
200 hours, that is 100 grantees

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
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
PO 00000
Frm 00106

mandatory safety standard to a coal or
other mine if the Secretary of Labor
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 modification.
II. Petitions for Modification
Docket Number: M–2014–018–C.
Petitioner: S & J Coal Mine, Inc., 15
Motter Drive, Pine Grove, Pennsylvania
17963.
Mine: Slope #2 Mine, MSHA I.D. No.
36–09963, located in Schuylkill County,
Pennsylvania.
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 the use of
nonpermissible electric drags and
battery locomotives within 150 feet of
pillar workings. The petitioner asserts
that the request is due in part to the
method of mining used in pitching
anthracite mines and the alternative
evaluation of the mine air quality for
methane on an hourly basis during
operation with one of the gas tests
results to be recorded in the on-shift
examination record. The petitioner
states that:
(1) Equipment operation will be
suspended any time methane
concentration at the equipment reaches
0.5 percent either during operation or
when found during a pre-shift
examination.
(2) The equipment will be operated in
the working section’s only intake entry
(gangway), which is regularly traveled
and examined.
(3) The use of drags on less than
moderate pitching veins (less than 20
degree pitch) is the only practical
system of mining in use.
(4) Permissible drags are not
commercially available, and due in part
to their small size, permissible
locomotives are not commercially
available.
(5) As a result of low daily production
rates and full timbering support, inrushes of methane due to massive pillar
falls are unlikely to occur.
