Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 16 / Tuesday, January 26, 2016 / Notices
(1) Blasting for this project will utilize
MS delays. FKCI’s past experience using
MS delays in similar environments has
been successful. The Nonel MS caps
and detonation cord significantly
reduces the amount of cutoffs and
misfires when blasting in a ‘‘shaft
bottom’’ environment. FKCI has
successfully used this method in areas
of methane without incident.
(2) Included in this petition are blast
pattern drawings indicating MS delay
times and drilling depth, manufacturer
data sheets for blasting materials, and a
ventilation plan showing the route of
blasting smoke out of the mine.
(3) FKCI believes that the intent of 30
CFR 57.22606(a) and (c) will be
achieved along with the other safety
concerns contained in this petition.
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.
Sheila McConnell,
Acting Director, Office of Standards,
Regulations, and Variances.
