Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2024 / Notices
along the face areas and in other areas
covered by this standard. It facilitates
communication in case of emergencies
such as injuries both on the section and
to the surface.
(d) Motorola and Kenwood have
discontinued the manufacture and sale
of MSHA-approved permissible radios.
Such radios were the only permissible
radios available for the underground
coal mine industry. The notices (see
Exhibits 1 and 2) indicated that for a
period of time the radios were sold out
of stock but that ceased as indicated in
the notes. Peabody is not aware of any
other radio which is economically
feasible.
(e) Peabody seeks modification of 30
CFR 75.507–1(a) as it applies to use of
low voltage battery-powered nonpermissible radios. It intends to use the
following equipment:
(1) Motorola R–7 Portable Two-Way
Radio (see Exhibits 3 and 4). Other
intrinsically safe portable radios may
subsequently be used if approved in
advance by the MSHA District Manager.
(f) Peabody mines utilize the
continuous miner method of mining.
Some sections utilize two continuous
miners and use of the radios permits
coordination of the coal haulers and
between the two continuous miners.
(g) Effective communication is critical
to the safety of the miners at the mine.
It reduces the potential for collisions
and pedestrian accidents and facilitates
communication in an emergency.
(h) The alternative method proposed
in the petition will at all times
guarantee no less than the same measure
of protection afforded by the standard.
The petitioner proposes the following
alternative method:
(a) Non-permissible intrinsically safe
radios to be used include the Motorola
R–7 Portable Two-Way Radio (HAZ LOC
certified by UL standards ANSI/TIA
4950).
(b) All such radios shall be rated IP 66
or higher.
(c) All non-permissible radios shall be
examined by a qualified person as
defined in 30 CFR 75.153 prior to use
to ensure the equipment is being
maintained in a safe operating
condition. These examinations results
shall be recorded in the weekly
examination book and shall be made
available to MSHA and the miners at the
mine.
(d) A qualified person as defined in
30 CFR 75.151 shall continuously
monitor for methane immediately before
and during the use of non-permissible
radios.
(e) Non-permissible radios shall not
be used if methane is detected in
concentrations at or above one percent.
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 265001
When one percent or more methane is
detected while the non-permissible
radios are being used, the radios shall be
de-energized immediately by turning
them off and withdrawn from the area.
(f) All hand-held methane detectors
shall be MSHA approved and
maintained in permissible and proper
operating condition as defined in 30
CFR 75.320. Each miner using a radio
shall be trained in the use of handheld
methane detectors.
(g) All radios shall be used in
accordance with the safe use procedures
recommended by the manufacturer.
(h) Personnel who use nonpermissible radios shall be properly
trained to recognize the hazards and
limitations associated with use of the
equipment.
(i) The radio battery is designed to last
more than the length of a shift. The
radio shall not be charged underground
and shall be charged on the surface in
accordance with the procedure for other
battery-operated devices such as
methane detectors.
(j) The operator shall post the PDO
granted by MSHA in unobstructed
locations on the bulletin boards and/or
in other conspicuous places where
notices to miners are ordinarily posted,
at all the mines for which the PDO
granted by MSHA applies, for a period
of not less than 60 consecutive days and
a copy shall be made available to all
miners’ representatives.
(k) The proposed radios shall be
available for inspection and testing
during MSHA’s investigation. As other
radios are acquired, if the petition is
granted, such radios shall be made
available for MSHA inspection. The
radios shall be made available for
MSHA testing during the investigation.
(l) The Motorola radio is rated IP 66
and IP 68. It is powered by a lithium
cell.
(m) The miners at Francisco
Underground Pit are not currently
represented by a labor organization and
this petition is posted at the mine.
In support of the proposed alternative
method, the petitioner has also
submitted manufacturer product
specification sheets for MSHA-approved
permissible radios indicating they are
no longer available and manufacturer
product specification sheets for the
proposed Motorola R–7 Portable TwoWay Radio.
The petitioner asserts that the
alternative method in the petition will
at all times guarantee no less than the

same measure of protection afforded to
the miners by the standard.
