The petitioner proposes to establish evaluation points to monitor the air in the 33P Mains return air course in its entirety because deterioration, rib conditions, and roof falls expose workers to hazardous conditions. The petitioner proposes to use the following procedures to meet the requirements of its alternative method:
(1)Establish evaluation point 33P E.P. B. on the upward side of the bad roof;
(2)establish evaluation point 33P E.P.A. on the downwind side of the bad roof area;
(3)have a certified person conduct weekly evaluations at each of the monitoring stations to determine the quantity and quality of air entering or exiting the monitoring stations using an MSHA approved hand-held methane and oxygen meter; and
(4)record the date, time, and examiner's initials on a date board at each monitoring station and in a book kept on the surface The petitioner states that all monitoring stations and the approaches to the monitoring stations will be maintained in a safe condition at all times, and the roof will be adequately supported by roof bolts or other suitable means to prevent deterioration of the roof in the vicinity of the stations. The petitioner further states that methane gas or other harmful, noxious poisonous gases will not be permitted to accumulate in excess of the legal limits for return air. Petitioner will immediately investigate the affected area if there is an increase of 0.5 per centum methane from the last previous methane readings or a 10 percent change in the quantity of air flow. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method would at all times guarantee no less than the same measure of protection to all miners at the Mine 84 as would be provided by the existing standard and that use of the evaluation points to measure air and gas will provide an accurate picture of the conditions of the air course without unduly exposing persons to safety hazards. *Docket Number:* M-2007-013-C. *Petitioner:* TJS Mining Company, Inc., 2340 Smith Road, Shelocta, Pennsylvania 15774. *Mine:* Rossmoyne #1 Mine, (MSHA I.D.

(i)(Mine map). *Modification Request:* The petitioner proposes to use cross-sections instead of contour lines through the intake slope at locations of rock tunnel connections between veins, and at 1,000 foot intervals of advance from the intake slope. In addition, the petitioner proposes to limit the required mapping of the mine workings above and below to those present within 100 feet of the vein being mined, except when veins are interconnected to other veins beyond the 100-foot limit through rock tunnels. The petitioner states that contours provide no useful information due to the steep pitch encountered in mining anthracite coal veins, and their presence would make portions of the map illegible. The petitioner further states that use of cross-sections in lieu of contour lines has been practiced since the late 1800's and provides critical information about the spacing between veins and the proximity to other mine workings, which fluctuate considerably. Additionally, the petitioner states that the mine workings above and below are usually inactive and abandoned, and therefore not subject to changes during the life of the mine. The petitioner states that all mapping for mines above and below are researched by its contract engineer for the presence of interconnecting rock tunnels between veins in relation to the mine and a hazard analysis is done when mapping indicates the presence of known or potentially flooded workings. The petitioner asserts that when evidence indicates that prior mining was conducted on a vein above or below and research exhausts the availability of mine mapping, the vein will be considered to be mined and flooded and appropriate precautions will be taken under 30 CFR 75.388, where possible. Where potential hazards exist and in-mine drilling capabilities limit penetration, petitioner will drill surface boreholes to intercept the mine workings and will analyze the results prior to mining in the affected area. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method would provide at least the same measure of protection as the existing standard. *Docket Number:* M-2007-024-C. *Petitioner:* Little Buck Coal Company, 57 Lincoln Road, Pine Grove, Pennsylvania 17963. *Mine:* Bottom Split Slope Mine, (MSHA I.D. No. 36-09491), located in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. *Regulation Affected:* 30 CFR 75.1202 and 30 CFR 75.1202-1(a) (Temporary notations, revisions, and supplements. *Modification Request:* The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to permit the required interval of survey to be established annually in of lieu every 6 months. The petitioner proposes to update the mine map by hand notations on a daily basis, conduct subsequent surveys prior to commencing retreat mining, and when either a drilling program under 30 CFR 75.388 or plan for mining into accessible areas under 30 CFR 75.389 is required. The petitioner states that:
(1)Low production and slow rate of advance in anthracite mining make surveying on 6 month intervals impractical and, in most cases, annual development is frequently limited to less than 500 feet of gangway advance with associated up-pitch development;
(2)the majority of small anthracite mines are using non-mechanized, hand-loading mining methods;
(3)development above the active gangway is designed to mine into the level above at designated intervals thereby maintaining sufficient control between both surveyed gangways; and
(4)the available engineering/surveyor resources are very limited in anthracite coal fields which makes surveying difficult to achieve. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method would provide at least the same measure of protection as the existing standard. *Docket Number:* M-2007-025-C. *Petitioner:* Little Buck Coal Company, 57 Lincoln Road, Pine Grove, Pennsylvania 17963. *Mine:* Bottom Split Slope Mine, (MSHA I.D. No. 36-09491), located in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. *Regulation Affected:* 30 CFR 75.1400
(c)(Hoisting equipment; general). *Modification Request:* The petitioner proposes to use the slope (gunboat) to transport persons in shafts and slopes using an increased rope strength/safety factor and secondary safety rope connection instead of using safety catches or other no less effective devices. The petitioner asserts that the proposed alternative method would provide at least the same measure of protection as the existing standard. *Docket Number:* M-2007-026-C. *Petitioner:* Blue Diamond Coal Company, P.O. Box 47, Slemp, Kentucky 41763. *Mine:* Mine # 77, (MSHA I.D. No. 15-09636), located in Perry County, Kentucky. *Regulation Affected:* 30 CFR 75.364(b)(2) (Weekly examination). *Modification Request:* The petitioner requests a modification of the existing standard to permit check points to be established in nine
(9)locations to examine certain areas of the return air course. The petitioner states that:
(1)Due to hazardous roof and rib conditions, and the distance from active workings and the age of these workings, it is impractical to expose personnel to the roof and rib hazards in the affected areas; and
(2)to ensure no lesser degree of safety for all personnel in the mine, ventilation check points will be established to measure the air in the affected areas. The petitioner proposes to:
(1)Establish air measurement stations at locations that will allow effective evaluation of ventilation in the affected areas. The measurements will be conducted by a certified person on a weekly basis, and a sign will be posted designating the location of measuring stations;
(2)all air measurement stations will be maintained in safe condition at all times;
(3)the date, time and results of these measurements will be recorded in a book kept on the surface or on a date board provided at each measuring station, and made accessible to all parties;
(4)signs will be posted in an adjacent travel entry that will indicate the safe travel route to each monitoring station;
(5)evaluations will be conducted by a certified person at each of the monitoring stations on a weekly basis that will include the quantity and quality of air entering or exiting the monitoring station. The measurements will be made using the MSHA approved and calibrated hand-held multi-gas detectors to check for methane and oxygen gas concentrations and appropriate calibrated anemometers to check air flow volume;
(6)a diagram maintained in legible condition will be posted at the monitoring stations that will show the normal direction of the air flow, and any change in the direction of the air flow will be reported to the mine foreman for immediate investigation;
(7)the date, time, and examiner's initials, and the measured quantity and quality of air will be recorded in a book or on a date board and will be provided at the monitoring stations;
(8)the monitoring station location(s) will be shown on the annually submitted mine ventilation map and the stations will not be moved to another location without prior approval by the District Manager as part of the Ventilation Plan for the Bottom Split Slope Mine; and
(9)all mine personnel will receive instructions on which areas they are not permitted to travel, and all other approaches will be fenced off or barricaded with “DO NOT ENTER” warning signs. Entry in the affected area will only be permitted to conduct investigations and to correct problems with the air flow that is detected through the monitoring process. This work will be done under the supervision of an authorized person. The petitioner has listed additional procedures in this petition that will be used to comply compliance to the proposed alternative method. Individuals may review a complete description of the procedures at the MSHA address listed in this notice. The petitioner asserts that this petition will provide no lesser degree of safety for the personnel at the Mine # 77. Dated: June 1, 2007.

(847)297-4810. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background The Department of Labor, as part of its continuing effort to reduce paperwork and respondent ( *i.e.* , employer) burden, conducts a preclearance consultation program to provide the public with an opportunity to comment on proposed and continuing information collection requirements in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)). This program ensures that information is in the desired format, reporting burden (time and costs) is minimal, collection instruments are clearly understood, and OSHA's estimate of the information collection burden is accurate. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (the OSH Act) authorizes information collection by employers as necessary or appropriate for enforcement of the OSH Act or for developing information regarding the causes and prevention of occupational injuries, illnesses, and accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). Section 21 of the OSH Act (29 U.S.C. 670) authorizes OSHA to conduct directly, or through grants and contracts, education and training courses. These courses must ensure an adequate number of qualified personnel to fulfill the purposes of the OSH Act, provide them with short-term training, inform them of the importance and proper use of safety and health equipment, and train employers and employees to recognize, avoid, and prevent unsafe and unhealthful working conditions. Under Section 21, OSHA awards training grants to nonprofit organizations to provide part of the required training. The Agency requires organizations that receive these grants to submit quarterly progress reports that provide information on their grant-funded training activities; these reports allow OSHA to monitor the grantee's performance and to determine if an organization is using grant funds as specified in its grant application. Accordingly, the Agency compares the information provided in the quarterly progress report to the quarterly milestones proposed by the organization in the work plan and budget that accompanied the grant application. This information includes: Identifier data (organization name and grant number); the date and location where the training occurred; the length of training (hours); the number of employees and employers attending training sessions provided by the organization during the quarter; a description of the training provided; a narrative account of grant activities conducted during the quarter; and an evaluation of progress regarding planned versus actual work accomplished. This comparison permits OSHA to determine if the organization is meeting the proposed program goals and objectives, and spending funds in the manner described in the proposed budget. Requiring these reports on a quarterly basis enables OSHA to identify work plan, training, and expenditure discrepancies in a timely fashion so that it can implement appropriate action. In addition, this information permits the Agency to assess an organization's ability to meet projected milestones and expenditures. II. Special Issues for Comment OSHA has a particular interest in comments on the following issues: • Whether the proposed information collection requirements are necessary for the proper performance of the Agency's functions, including whether the information is useful; • The accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden (time and costs) of the information collection requirements, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • The quality, utility, and clarity of the information collected; and • Ways to minimize the burden on employers who must comply; for example, by using automated or other technological information collection and transmission techniques. III. Proposed Actions OSHA is requesting OMB to extend its approval of the information collection requirements contained in Grantee Quarterly Progress Report. The Agency will summarize the comments submitted in response to this notice, and will include this summary in the request to OMB. *Type of Review:* Extension of a currently approved collection. *Title:* Grantee Quarterly Progress Report. *OMB Number:* 1218-0100. *Affected Public:* Not-for-profit organizations. *Number of Respondents:* 55. *Frequency:* Quarterly. *Total Responses:* 55. *Average Time per Response:* 12 hours. *Estimated Total Burden Hours:* 2,640 hours. *Estimated Cost (Operation and Maintenance):* $0.

(817)860-8188; or by e-mail: *dbs@nrc.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Introduction The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
(NRC)is considering the issuance of a license amendment to Byproduct Material License No. 46-06377-04. This license is held by the United States Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Northwest Fisheries Science Center (the Licensee). The license authorizes the Licensee to possess and use cadmium-109, lead-210, hydrogen-3, and carbon-14 at two locations for purposes of conducting research and development activities. At one of these locations—the Licensee's field office known as the Mukilteo Research Station (the Facility) in Mukilteo, Washington—licensed activities have ceased. By letter dated November 21, 2005, the Licensee requested the NRC to authorize release of the Facility for unrestricted use, which would result in the removal of the Facility as a location of use from the NRC license. NRC has prepared an Environmental Assessment
(EA)in support of this proposed action in accordance with the requirements of Title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Part 51 (10 CFR Part 51). Based on this EA, the NRC has concluded that a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) is appropriate with respect to the proposed action. The amendment will be issued to the Licensee following publication of this FONSI and EA in the **Federal Register** . II. Environmental Assessment Identification of Proposed Action The proposed action would approve the Licensee's November 21, 2005, license amendment request, resulting in a license amendment which would release the Facility for unrestricted use. License No. 46-06377-04 was issued in the 1950's pursuant to 10 CFR part 30, and has been amended periodically since that time. The Facility is situated on property located adjacent to Puget Sound and consists of a main research office building and several smaller support buildings in the yard. The main facility consists of laboratories and offices and is approximately 10,000 square feet (929 square meters) in size. Within the Facility, use of licensed material was confined to three specific laboratories totaling about 380 square feet (35 square meters) as well as a 350-square foot (28 square meter) portable shed located adjacent to the main research building. The Facility is located in a commercial district in Mukilteo, Washington. The Licensee ceased licensed activities at the Facility in 1987. The licensee conducted a final status survey at the Facility in November 2004. Based on the Licensee's historical knowledge of the site and the conditions of the Facility, the Licensee determined that only routine decontamination activities, in accordance with their radiation safety procedures, were required. As allowed by Section 7.4 of NUREG-1757, “Consolidated NMSS Decommissioning Guidance,” Volume 1, the Licensee was not required to submit a decommissioning plan to the NRC. The Licensee conducted surveys of the Facility and provided information to the NRC to demonstrate that it meets the criteria in Subpart E of 10 CFR part 20 for unrestricted release. Need for the Proposed Action The Licensee has ceased licensed activities at the Facility and seeks the unrestricted use of its Facility. Environmental Impacts of the Proposed Action The historical review of licensed activities conducted at the Facility shows that such activities involved use of the following radionuclides with half-lives greater than 120 days: hydrogen-3, carbon-14, cadmium-109, and lead-210. Prior to performing the final status survey, the Licensee conducted decontamination activities, as necessary, in the areas of the Facility affected by these radionuclides. In November 2004, the licensee conducted a final status survey, which covered the three laboratories, hallways outside the laboratories, and the adjacent storage shed. The final status survey report was attached to the Licensee's amendment request dated November 21, 2005. The Licensee elected to demonstrate compliance with the radiological criteria for unrestricted release as specified in 10 CFR 20.1402 by using the screening approach described in Appendix H to NUREG-1757, “Consolidated NMSS Decommissioning Guidance,” Volume 2. The Licensee used guideline levels that were comparable to the derived concentration guideline levels (DCGLs) developed by the NRC which comply with the dose criterion in 10 CFR 20.1402. These DCGLs define the maximum amount of residual radioactivity on building surfaces, equipment, and materials and in soils that will satisfy the NRC requirements in Subpart E of 10 CFR part 20 for unrestricted release. The Licensee's final status survey results were below these DCGLs, and are thus acceptable. Based on its review, the staff has determined that the affected environment and any environmental impacts associated with the proposed action are bounded by the impacts evaluated by the “Generic Environmental Impact Statement in Support of Rulemaking on Radiological Criteria for License Termination of NRC-Licensed Nuclear Facilities” (NUREG-1496) Volumes 1-3 (ML042310492, ML042320379, and ML042330385). Further, no incidents were recorded involving spills or releases of radioactive material at the Facility. Accordingly, there were no significant environmental impacts from the use of radioactive material at the Facility. The NRC staff reviewed the docket file records and the final status survey report to identify any non-radiological hazards that may have impacted the environment surrounding the Facility. No such hazards or impacts to the environment were identified. The NRC staff finds that the proposed release of the Facility described above for unrestricted use is in compliance with 10 CFR 20.1402. The NRC has found no other activities in the area that could result in cumulative environmental impacts. Based on its review, the staff considered the impact of the residual radioactivity at the Facility and concluded that the proposed action will not have a significant effect on the quality of the human environment. Environmental Impacts of the Alternatives to the Proposed Action Alternatives to the proposed action discussed below are:
(1)The no-action alternative; and
(2)require the Licensee to take some alternate action. 1. *No-action Alternative:* As an alternative to the proposed action, the staff could leave things as they are by simply denying the amendment request. This no-action alternative is not feasible because it conflicts with 10 CFR 30.36(d), requiring that decommissioning of byproduct material facilities be completed and approved by the NRC after licensed activities have ceased. Additionally, this denial of the application would result in no change in current environmental impacts. The environmental impacts of the proposed action and the no-action alternative are therefore similar, and the no-action alternative is accordingly not further considered. 2. *Environmental Impacts of Alternative 2:* A second alternative to the proposed action would be to deny the Licensee's request and instead apply the 10 CFR 20.1403 criteria for restricted release of the Facility. However, restricted releases are not favored in cases where the requirements of 10 CFR 20.1402 for unrestricted release can be met, and the NRC's analysis of the Licensee's final status survey data confirmed that the Facility meets these requirements. Accordingly, the NRC finds that choosing this second alternative to the proposed action is not warranted, and this alternative is eliminated from further consideration. Conclusion The NRC staff has concluded that the proposed action is consistent with the NRC's unrestricted release criteria specified in 10 CFR 20.1402. Because the proposed action will not significantly impact the quality of the human environment, the NRC staff concludes that the proposed action is the preferred alternative. Agencies and Persons Consulted NRC provided a draft of this Environmental Assessment to the Washington Department of Health for review on October 13, 2006. On January 29, 2007, the Department of Health, Division of Radiation Protection, responded by e-mail. The State agreed with the conclusions of the EA, and otherwise had no comments. The NRC staff has determined that the proposed action is of a procedural nature, and will not affect listed species or critical habitat. Therefore, no further consultation is required under Section 7 of the Endangered Species Act. The NRC staff has also determined that the proposed action is not the type of activity that has the potential to cause effects on historic properties. Therefore, no further consultation is required under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act. III. Finding of No Significant Impact The NRC staff has prepared this EA in support of the proposed action. On the basis of this EA, the NRC finds that there are no significant environmental impacts from the proposed action, and that preparation of an environmental impact statement is not warranted. Accordingly, the NRC has determined that a Finding of No Significant Impact is appropriate. IV.
