SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Introduction
Under section 101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of
1977, any mine operator or representative of miners may petition to use
an alternative approach to comply with a mandatory safety standard. In
response, the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) or his or her designee may
modify the application of a mandatory safety standard to that mine if
the Secretary determines that: (1) An alternative method exists that
will guarantee no less protection for the miners affected than that
provided by the standard; or (2) the application of the standard will
result in a diminution of safety to the affected miners.
MSHA bases the final decision on the petitioner's statements, any
comments and information submitted by interested persons, and a field
investigation of the proposed equipment, system(s), and conditions at
the mine. In some instances, MSHA may grant a petition for modification
on the condition that the mine operator complies with other
requirements noted in the decision. In other instances, MSHA may deny,
dismiss, or revoke a petition for modification. In accordance with 30
CFR 44.5, MSHA publishes every final action granting a petition for
modification.
II. Granted Petitions for Modification

designee of the Secretary, MSHA granted or partially granted the
