BILLING CODE 7020-02-P DEPARTMENT OF LABOR Mine Safety and Health Administration Petitions for Modification The following parties have filed petitions to modify the application of existing safety standards under section 101(c) of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. 1. Bridger Coal Company [Docket No. M-2005-073-C] Bridger Coal Company, P.O. Box 68, Point of Rocks, Wyoming 82942 has filed a petition to modify the application of 30 CFR 75.1101-8 (Water sprinkler systems; arrangement of sprinklers) to its Bridger Underground Mine (MSHA I.D.
No. 48-01646) located in Sweetwater County, Wyoming. The petitioner requests to modify the application of 30 CFR 75.1101-8 (Water sprinkler systems arrangement of sprinklers) if the belt controller and take-up control units comply with existing safety standards 30 CFR 75.340 and 75.1107-1(a)(3). The petitioner states that the units presently are electric and are located in transformer rooms which comply with the safety standards 75.340 and 75.1107-1(a)(3). The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method would provide at least the same measure of protection as the existing standard. 2.
Brooks Run Mining Company, LLC [Docket No. M-2005-074-C] Brooks Run Mining Company, LLC, 25 Little Birch Road, Sutton, West Virginia 25601 has filed a petition to modify the application of 30 CFR 75.1002 (Installation of electric equipment and conductors; permissibility) to its Saylor Mine (MSHA I.D. No. 46-09126) located in Braxton County, West Virginia. The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to permit a production stream to be maintained from the 2,400-volt continuous miners at the Saylor Mine.
The petitioner has listed in this petition specific terms and conditions that will be followed when the proposed alternative method is implemented. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method would provide at least the same measure of protection as the existing standard. 3. AMFIRE Mining Company, LLC [Docket No. M-2005-075-C] AMFIRE Mining Company, LLC, P.O. Box 157, Clymer, Pennsylvania 15728 has filed a petition to modify the application of 30 CFR 75.1710-1 (Canopies or cabs; self-propelled diesel-powered and electric face equipment; installation requirements) to its Nolo Mine (MSHA I.D.
No. 36-08850) located in Indiana County, Pennsylvania. The petitioner proposes to operate self-propelled electric face equipment without cabs and canopies in coal seams of 48″ or less. The petitioner asserts that using cabs and canopies on the equipment in areas of 48′ or less results in a diminution of safety causing the roof support to be dislodged. In addition, the operator's visibility is decreased which poses a hazardous situation to persons traveling on foot. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method would provide at least the same measure of protection as the existing standard.

L. 95-541), as amended by the Antarctic Science, Tourism and Conservation Act of 1996, has developed regulations for the establishment of a permit system for various activities in Antarctica and designation of certain animals and certain geographic areas requiring special protection. The regulations establish such a permit system to designate Antarctic Specially Protected Areas. *Description of Permit Modification Requested:* The Foundation issued a permit (2004-009) to Dr. Robert L. Pitman on January 15, 2004. The issued permit allows the applicant to collect biopsy samples of up to 200 Killer whales and skin and tissue samples from approximately 10 Minke and 4 Arnoux's Beaked whales.
