DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Federal Bureau of Prisons
Notice of Intent To Prepare a
Supplemental Revised Final
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed United States
Penitentiary and Federal Prison Camp
in Letcher County, Kentucky
Federal Bureau of Prisons, U.S.
Department of Justice.
ACTION: Notice of Intent.
AGENCY:
Pursuant to the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, as implemented by the Council on
Environmental Quality regulations, the
Federal Bureau of Prisons (Bureau)
announces its intent to prepare a
Supplement to the March 2016 Revised
Final Environmental Impact Statement
(RFEIS) for ‘‘Proposed United States
Penitentiary and Federal Prison Camp
Letcher County, Kentucky.’’
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Issac Gaston, Site Selection Specialist;
U.S. Department of Justice, Federal
Bureau of Prisons, 320 First Street NW.,
Washington, DC 20534; email: igaston@
bop.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Supplemental RFEIS is being prepared
to address substantial changes to the
proposed action that are relevant to
environmental concerns, as required
under NEPA [40 CFR 1502.9(c)], and
will assess any new circumstances or
information relevant to potential
environmental impacts.
In March 2016, the Bureau completed
the Revised Final EIS for the Proposed
United States Penitentiary and Federal
Prison Camp, Letcher County,
Kentucky, which evaluated the potential
environmental impacts from the
acquisition of property and construction
and operation of a new United States

Penitentiary, Federal Prison Camp,
ancillary facilities, and access roads in
Letcher County. The RFEIS analyzed
two potential locations: An
approximately 753-acre site in eastern
Letcher County (Alternative 1-Payne
Gap), and an approximately 700-acre
site in western Letcher County
(Alternative 2-Roxana). The RFEIS
identified Alternative 2-Roxana as the
preferred alternative because it best
meets the project needs and, on balance,
would have fewer impacts to the natural
and built environment.
The Bureau was originally
considering acquiring approximately
700 acres at the Roxana site for this
project. In an effort to reduce potentially
impacted property, the Bureau is
removing two parcels of land at the
Roxana site from acquisition
consideration, resulting in a proposed
site of approximately 570 acres. This
reduction in site size has necessitated
modifying the facilities layout evaluated
for Alternative 2-Roxana in the RFEIS.
The environmental impacts of the
modified Alternative 2-Roxana will be
analyzed in the Supplemental RFEIS.
The alternatives to be evaluated in the
Supplemental RFEIS include the No
Action Alternative and Alternative 2Roxana.
The Supplemental RFEIS will analyze
potential environmental impacts that
may result from the modified
alternative, including, but not limited
to, land use and zoning; topography,
geology, and soils; air quality; noise;
cultural resources; water resources; and
biological resources. The Supplemental
RFEIS analysis will evaluate direct,
indirect, and cumulative impacts.
Relevant and reasonable measures that
could avoid or mitigate environmental
impacts will also be analyzed.
Additionally, the Bureau will undertake
any consultations required by
applicable laws or regulations.
The Bureau will issue a Draft
Supplemental RFEIS for a 45-day public
comment period, during which a public
meeting will be held in the community
of Whitesburg. A notice of availability of
the Draft Supplemental RFEIS and a
notice of public meeting will be
published in the Federal Register and in
area newspapers in advance of the
release of the Draft Supplemental RFEIS
and the public meeting. Those notices
will identify further details about the
public meeting and the specific
opportunities and methods for the
public to provide comments on the Draft
Supplemental RFEIS.
The mailing list for the Draft
Supplemental RFEIS will be based on
the mailing list in the 2016 RFEIS.
Those on this list will receive a copy of

agencies with jurisdiction, elected
officials and community leaders,
businesses and organizations, and other
interested parties and individuals.
Anyone wishing to be added to the
mailing list to receive a copy of the Draft
Supplemental RFEIS may request to be
added by contacting the Bureau’s Site
Selection Specialist at the address
below.
Following issuance of the Draft
Supplemental RFEIS and completion of
the 45-day public comment period on
the Draft Supplemental RFEIS, the
Bureau will issue a Final Supplemental
RFEIS that will include comments
received during the public comment
period on the Draft Supplemental
RFEIS. The Final Supplemental RFEIS
will also include the Bureau’s response
to substantive comments received on
the Draft Supplemental RFEIS.
Following publication of the Final
Supplemental RFEIS, a 30-day review
period will be provided. No action will
be taken to implement any of the
proposed alternatives until completion
of the 30-day review period on the Final
Supplemental RFEIS and issuance of a
Record of Decision on behalf of the
Bureau by its Director or Acting
Director.

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
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–2016–031–C.
Petitioner: S & J Coal Mine, 15 Motter
Drive, Pine Grove, Pennsylvania 17963–
8854.
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
PO 00000

equipment and conductors;
permissibility).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard to permit use of
nonpermissible electric equipment
within 150 feet of the pillar line to
include drags and battery locomotives.
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 test results to be recorded in
the on-shift examination record. The
petitioner also proposes to suspend
equipment operation any time methane
concentration at the equipment reaches
0.5 percent methane either during
operation or when found during a
preshift examination. The petitioner
states that:
(1) The equipment will be operated in
the working section’s only intake entry
(gangway), which is regularly traveled
and examined.
(2) The use of drags on less than
moderate pitching veins (less than 20
degrees pitch) is the only practical
system of mining in use.
(3) Permissible drags are not
commercially available, and due in part
to their small size, permissible
locomotives are not commercially
available either.
(4) As a result of low daily production
rates and full timbering support, inrushes of methane due to massive pillar
falls are unlikely to occur.
(5) Recovery of the pillars above the
first miner heading is usually
accomplished on the advance within
150 feet of the section intake (gangway)
and the remaining mineable pillars
recovered from the deepest point of
penetration outby.
(6) The 5,000 cubic feet per minute of
required intake airflow is measured just
outby the nonpermissible equipment
with the ventilating air passing over the
equipment to ventilate the pillar being
mined.
(7) The electrical equipment is
attended during operation and either
power to the unit deenergized at the
intersection of the working gangway and
intake slope or equipment moved to that
area when production ceases,
minimizing any ignition potential from
the pillar recovery area.
(8) Where more than one active line
of pillar breasts recovery exists, the
locomotive may travel to a point just
outby the deepest active chute/breast
(room) workings or last open crosscut in
a developing set of entries.
The petitioner asserts that the
proposed alternative method will at all
times guarantee no less than the same
