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 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–2014–022–C. Petitioner: Mountain Coal Company, P.O. Box 591, 5174 Highway 133, Somerset, Colorado 81434. Mine: West Elk Mine, MSHA I.D. No. 05–03672, located in Gunnison County, Colorado. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1909(b)(6) (Nonpermissible dieselpowered equipment; design and performance requirements). Modification Request: The petitioner requests that a previously granted petition for modification, Docket No. M–1999–113–C, be amended. The petitioner proposes to add two additional road Getman graders, model RDG–1504 serial number 7004, and model RDG–1504C serial number 6718. The maximum speed on the Getman graders will be limited to 10 miles per hour or less by blocking out gear ratios that would provide higher speeds. Grader operators will be trained to recognize appropriate levels of speed for different road conditions and slopes. Grader operators will be trained to lower the moldboard (grader blade) to provide additional stopping capability in emergencies. 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. These revisions will specify initial and refresher training regarding the terms and conditions in the Proposed Decision and Order. E:\FR\FM\05AUN1.SGM 05AUN1
