FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: PO 00000 Frm 00191 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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–2024–089–C. Petitioner: Mingo Logan Coal, LLC, Sharples, WV 25183. Mine: Mountaineer II Mine, MSHA ID No. 46–09029, located in Logan County, West Virginia. Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 75.507– 1(a), Permissible electric equipment. Modification Request: The petitioner requests a modification of 30 CFR 75.507–1(a) to allow the use of an alternative method of respirable dust protection. Specifically, the petitioner is requesting to use the 3M Versaflo TR– 800 Intrinsically Safe Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) and the CleanSpace EX PAPR in return air outby the last open crosscut. The petitioner states that: (a) Mountaineer II Mine has previously used the 3M Airstream Headgear-Mounted PAPR System to provide additional protection for its miners against exposure to respirable coal mine dust. There are clear longterm health benefits from using such technology. One of the benefits of PAPRs is that they provide a constant flow of air inside the headtop or helmet. This constant airflow helps to provide both respiratory protection and comfort in hot working environments. (b) 3M elected to discontinue the 3M Airstream helmet, replacing it with the 3M Versaflo TR–800, which benefits from additional features and reduced weight. Because of its reduced weight, it provides significant ergonomic benefits. (c) For more than 40 years the 3M Airstream has been used by many mine operators to help protect their workers. During those years there have been technological advancements in products and services for industrial applications. 3M indicated that they faced multiple key component supply disruptions for the Airstream product line that created issues with providing acceptable supply service levels. Because of those issues, 3M discontinued the Airstream in June 2020, and that discontinuation was global. (d) 3M announced that February 2020 was the final time to place an order for systems and components and that June 2020 was the final date to purchase Airstream components. (e) Currently there are no replacement 3M PAPRs that meet applicable MSHA standards for permissibility. Electronic equipment used in underground mines in potentially explosive atmospheres are required to be approved by MSHA in E:\FR\FM\30DEN1.SGM 30DEN1
