medical assistance and transportation

reporting requirements; posting
requirements).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit an alternative
method of compliance for the existing
standard because the application of the
standard results in a diminution of
safety. The petitioner proposes to:
1. Contract for transportation services
to be available at all times when it is
feasible to fly to the 4 East Portal and
airlift miners from there.
2. Construct a ‘‘safe house’’ at the 4
East Portal for miners exiting that portal.
The portal will contain food, water,
medical supplies, and communication
equipment.
3. Submit proposed revisions for its
approved part 48 training plan to the
District Manager within 60 days after
the Proposed Decision and Order (PDO)
becomes final. These proposed revisions
will specify initial and refresher training
regarding the terms and conditions
stated in the PDO. The petitioner states
that:
—Canyon Fuel is a large mine with a
number of portals to the outside,
either for transportation of miners or
ventilation. The 4 East Portal was
constructed to the outside in
approximately 1991.
—For approximately 24 years, Canyon
Fuel has routed its alternate
escapeway to this portal as the safest
and shortest route out of the mine.
—The escapeway at issue has been
designated as an escapeway for a
number of years. It has been inspected
every quarter by MSHA inspectors
and no issue has been raised.
—The escapeway is the shortest most
practical route to the nearest mine
opening suitable for the safe
evacuation of miners. The alternative
routes that would be available would
be two to three times longer. The
route to the 4 East Portal is also the
least difficult of the alternate routes to
travel. Such routes would require five
or six self-contained self-rescuer
‘‘changeouts’’ as opposed to two. The
route that Canyon Fuel would have to
use for other routes is not as safe as
the current secondary escapeway.
—In discussions with MSHA,
concerning such designation, Citation
Nos. 8483666 and 84807666 were
issued on May 22, 2015 and May 26,
2015, respectively, pursuant to
Section 104(a) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977, 30
U.S.C. Section 814(a), alleging
violations of 30 CFR 75.1713–1(b) and
30 CFR 75.380(a), requiring the

availability of transportation from the
4 East Portal. Such citations are
subjects of notices of contest.
The petitioner asserts that the
proposed alternative method will at
times guarantee no less than the same
measure of protection afforded by the
existing standard.
