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. The application of such standard to such mine will result in a diminution of safety to the miners in such mine. In addition, sections 44.10 and 44.11 of 30 CFR establish the requirements for filing petitions for modification. II. Petition for Modification Docket Number: M–2021–034–C. Petitioner: Rosebud Mining Company, 301 Market Street, Kittanning, Pennsylvania 16201. Mine: Knob Creek Mine, MSHA ID No. 36–09394, located in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.1700 (Oil and gas wells). Modification Request: The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard, 30 CFR 75.1700, as it relates to oil and gas wells at the mine. Specifically, the petitioner is proposing procedures for: Cleaning out and preparing oil and gas wells prior to plugging or re-plugging; plugging or replugging oil or gas wells to the surface; plugging or replugging oil or gas wells for use as degasification boreholes; preparing and plugging or re-plugging oil or gas wells; and mining through a plugged or re-plugged well. The petitioner states that: (a) The Knob Creek Mine is opened into the Upper Kittanning Coal seam through three drifts. Coal is produced on one underground section using a continuous mining machine and a continuous haulage system. The mine normally operates one production shift per day, 5 to 6 days per week, and produces an average of 452 tons of raw coal per day. The mine employs 20 persons underground and 3 on the surface. (b) The Knob Creek mine uses a room and pillar method of mining. A continuous miner with attached haulage develops main entries. After the mains are established, butts, rooms, and/or panels are developed off of the mains. The length of the rooms and/or panels typically extends a distance of 600 feet, depending on permit boundaries, projections, and conditions. E:\FR\FM\17DEN1.SGM 17DEN1
