(10) All hand-held methane detectors will be MSHA approved and maintained in permissible and proper operating condition as defined by 30 CFR 75.320. All methane detectors must provide visual and audible warnings when methane is detected at or above 1.0 percent. (11) Prior to energizing any of the nonpermissible surveying equipment within 150 feet of pillar workings or longwall faces, methane tests must be made no more than eight inches from the roof or floor at the location of the equipment. (12) All areas to be surveyed will be pre-shifted according to 30 CFR 75.360 prior to surveying. If the area was not pre-shifted, a supplemental examination according to 30 CFR 75.361 will be performed before any non-certified person enters the area. If the area has been examined according to 30 CFR 75.360 or 30 CFR 75.361, an additional examination is not required. (13) A qualified person as defined in existing 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 or longwall faces. A second person in the surveying crew, if there are two people in the crew, will also continuously monitor for methane. That person will either be a qualified person as defined in 30 CFR 75.151 or will be in the process of being trained to be a qualified person but will not make such tests for a period of 6 months, as required by 30 CFR 75.151. On completion of the 6 month training period the second person on the survey crew must become qualified to continue on the survey crew. If the surveying crew consists of one person, such person will monitor for methane with two separate devices. While the equipment is used within 150 feet of pillar workings or longwall faces, one qualified person who is continuously monitoring for methane will remain with the electronic surveying equipment. (14) Batteries contained in the surveying equipment must be ‘‘changed out’’ or ‘‘charged’’ more than 150 feet away from pillar workings or the longwall face. Replacement batteries for the electronic surveying equipment will not be brought in or inby the last open crosscut, into the return, or within 150 feet of pillar workings or longwall faces. On each entry into the mine, all batteries for the electronic surveying equipment must be fully charged. (15) When using nonpermissible electronic surveying equipment within VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:55 Oct 30, 2015 Jkt 238001 150 feet of pillar workings or the longwall face, the surveyor must confirm by measurement or by inquiry of the person in charge of the section that the air quantity on the section, on that shift, in the last open crosscut or coming to the longwall face is the quantity that is required by the mine’s ventilation plan. (16) Nonpermissible electronic surveying equipment will not be used when coal production is occurring in the section. All mining in the section will cease prior to use of the equipment within 150 feet of pillar workings and longwall faces. (17) Personnel engaged in the use of surveying equipment will be properly trained to recognize the hazards and limitations associated with the use of surveying equipment in areas where methane could be present. (18) All persons who operate nonpermissible electronic surveying equipment will receive specific training on the terms and conditions of the proposed decision and order before using nonpermissible electronic surveying equipment within 150 feet of the longwall face or pillar workings. A record of the training will be kept with the other training records. (19) Within 60 days after the Proposed Decision and Order (PDO) becomes final, the petitioner will submit proposed revisions for their approved part 48 training plan to the District Manager. The revisions will specify initial and refresher training regarding the terms and conditions in the PDO. When training is conducted on the terms and conditions stated in the PDO, an MSHA Certificate of Training (Form 5000–23) will be completed. Comments on the certificate of training will indicate surveyor training. (20) Lila Canyon will replace or retire from service any electronic surveying instrument that was acquired prior to December 31, 2001; within one year of the PDO becoming final. Lila Canyon will replace or retire from service any electronic surveying instrument that was acquired between January 1, 2002 and December 31, 2007; and within two years of the PDO becoming final. Within three years of the date that the PDO becomes final, Lila Canyon will replace or retire from service any electric theodolite that was acquired more than five years prior to the date that the PDO becomes final, or any total station acquired more than ten years prior to the day that the PDO becomes final. After five years, Lila Canyon will maintain a cycle of purchasing new electronic surveying equipment whereby theodolites will be no older than five years from date of manufacture PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and total stations will be no older than 10 years from date of manufacture. (21) Lila Canyon is responsible for seeing that all surveying contractors hired by Lila Canyon are using relatively new electronic equipment, i.e., theodolites no older than five years from date of manufacture and total stations no older than 10 years from date of manufacture. The conditions of use in the PDO will apply to all nonpermissible electronic surveying equipment used within 150 feet of pillar workings or longwall faces regardless of whether the equipment is used by Lila Canyon or by an independent contractor. Nonpermissible equipment will not be used where float coal dust is in suspension. The petitioner asserts that application of the existing standard will result in a diminution of safety to the miners and that the proposed alternative method will at all times guarantee no less than the same measure of protection afforded by the existing standard.
