The Trustees are also providing notice of an opportunity for public comment on a draft Restoration Plan (‘‘draft Restoration Plan’’). The settlement resolves the civil claims of the Trustees against Nutrien Ag Solutions (‘‘Nutrien’’) arising under their natural resource trustee authority under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act, and applicable state law for injury to, impairment of, destruction of, and loss of use of natural resources as a result of a July 29, 2017 release of approximately 165 gallons of Termix 5301 at or from the Nutrien facility located at 218 Simmons Drive in Cloverdale, Virginia (‘‘Release’’). The Release occurred when a container leaked into a stormwater culvert which discharged into Tinker Creek.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes MSHA to collect information necessary to carry out its duty in protecting the safety and health of miners. Further, section 101(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. 811, authorizes the Secretary of Labor to develop, promulgate, and revise as may be appropriate, improved mandatory health or safety standards for the protection of life and prevention of injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal mines. Title 30 CFR 77.1900 requires underground coal mine operators to submit for approval a plan that will provide for the safety of workmen in each slope or shaft that is commenced or extended from the surface to the underground coal mine. Each slope or shaft sinking operation is unique in that each operator uses different methods and equipment and encounters different geological strata which make it impossible for a single set of regulations to ensure the safety of the miners under all circumstances. This makes an individual slope or shaft sinking plan E:\FR\FM\18MRN1.SGM 18MRN1
