SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
Under section 101(a) of the Federal
Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (the
Mine Act), the Secretary may by rule in
accordance with procedures set forth in
this section and in accordance with
section 553 of title 5, United States Code
(without regard to any reference in such
section to sections 556 and 557 of such
title), develop, promulgate, and revise as
may be appropriate, improved
mandatory health or safety standards for
the protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal or other mines. In
addition, section 303 requires that all
underground coal mines be ventilated
by mechanical ventilation equipment
installed and operated in a manner
approved by an authorized
representative of the Secretary and such
equipment be examined daily and a
record be kept of such examination.
Underground coal mines usually
present harsh and hostile working
environments. The ventilation system is
the most vital life support system in
underground mining and a properly
operating ventilation system is essential
for maintaining a safe and healthful
working environment. Lack of adequate
ventilation in underground mines has
resulted in fatalities from asphyxiation
and explosions.

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 71 / Tuesday, April 14, 2015 / Notices

An underground mine is a maze of
tunnels that must be adequately
ventilated with fresh air to provide a
safe environment for miners. Methane is
liberated from the strata, and noxious
gases and dusts from blasting and other
mining activities may be present. The
explosive and noxious gases and dusts
must be diluted, rendered harmless, and
carried to the surface by the ventilating
currents. Sufficient air must be provided
to maintain the level of respirable dust
at or below specific exposure limits and
air quality must be maintained in
accordance with the Mine Safety and
Health Administration (MSHA)
standards. Mechanical ventilation
equipment of sufficient capacity must
operate at all times while miners are in
the mine. Ground conditions are subject
to frequent changes, thus sufficient tests
and examinations are necessary to
ensure the integrity of the ventilation
system and to detect any changes that
may require adjustments in the system.
Records of tests and examinations are
necessary to ensure that the ventilation
system is being maintained and that
changes which could adversely affect
the integrity of the system or the safety
of the miners are not occurring. These
examination, reporting and
recordkeeping requirements of sections
75.310, 75.312, 75.342, 75.351, 75.360
through 75.364, 75.370, 75.371, and
75.382 also incorporate examinations of
other critical aspects of the underground
work environment such as roof
conditions and electrical equipment
which have historically caused
numerous fatalities when not properly
maintained and operated.
Section 75.362, On-shift
Examinations, was revised at subsection
75.362(a)(2) and (g)(2)–(4) by MSHA’s
rule titled ‘‘Lowering Miners’ Exposure
to Respirable Coal Mine Dust, Including
Continuous Personal Dust Monitors, ’’
published May 1, 2014. This rule also
revised subsection 75.371(f) and (j).
Subsection 75.362(a)(2) requires that a
person designated by the operator
conduct an examination and record the
results and the corrective actions taken
to assure compliance with the respirable
dust control parameters specified in the
approved mine ventilation plan.
Under subsection 75.362(g)(2)(i), the
certified person directing the on-shift
examination must certify by initials,
date, and time on a board maintained at
the section load out or similar location
showing that the examination was made
prior to resuming production. No
increased burden is estimated for
section 75.362(g)(2)(i) in this
Information Collection Request (ICR)
because MSHA does not expect the

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:42 Apr 13, 2015

Jkt 235001

burden to be different from the burden
in existing section 75.362(g)(2)).
Under section 75.362(g)(2)(ii), the
certified person directing the on-shift
examination must verify, by initials,
date and time, the record of the results
of the examination required under
section 75.362(a)(2) to assure
compliance with the respirable dust
control parameters specified in the mine
ventilation plan. Further, section
75.362(g)(3) requires a mine foreman or
equivalent mine official to countersign
each examination record required under
section 75.362(a)(2) after it is verified by
the certified person under section
75.362(g)(2)(ii), and no later than the
end of the mine foreman’s or equivalent
mine official’s next regularly scheduled
working shift. Section 75.362(g)(2)(ii)
and (g)(3) are additional burdens that
are accounted for in this ICR and
75.362(g)(2)(ii)(4) requires the records
be retained at a surface location at the
mine for at least 1 year and shall be
made available for inspection by
authorized representatives of the
Secretary and the representative of
miners.
Paragraph (a)(2) in section 75.370
(Mine ventilation plan; submission and
approval) contains the burden for
underground coal mine operators to
submit mine ventilation plan revisions
for District Manager approval. Each
mine ventilation plan must include
information that is specified by section
75.371 (Mine ventilation plan;
contents).
Section 75.371(f) adds the following
information that a mine operator must
include in the mine ventilation plan: the
minimum quantity of air that will be
delivered to the working section for
each mechanized mining unit (MMU),
and the identification by make and
model, of each different dust
suppression system used on equipment
on each working section, including: (1)
The number, types, location,
orientation, operating pressure, and
flow rate of operating water sprays; (2)
the maximum distance that ventilation
control devices will be installed from
each working face when mining or
installing roof bolts in entries and
crosscuts; (3) procedures for
maintaining the roof bolter dust
collection system in approved
condition; and (4) recommended best
work practices for equipment operators
to minimize dust exposure.
Section 75.371(j) adds a requirement
that for machine mounted dust
collectors, the ventilation plan must
include the type and size of dust
collector screens used and a description
of the procedures to be followed to

PO 00000

Frm 00062

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

properly maintain dust collectors used
on the equipment.
Section 75.370(a)(2) requires all
underground coal mine operators to
submit revisions for mine ventilation
plans to MSHA. The burden to submit
the additional information required by
section 75.371(f) and (j) as proposed
revisions to the plan is accounted for in
this package under section 75.370(a)(2).
In addition, section 75.370(a)(3)(i)
requires underground coal mine
operators to notify the miners’
representative at least 5 days prior to
submission of mine ventilation plan
revisions and, if requested, provide a
copy of the revisions to the miners’
representative at the time of
notification. Section 75.370(a)(3)(iii)
and (f)(3) require the operator to post a
copy of the plan revisions, and section
75.370(f)(1) requires that the operator
provide a copy of the revisions to the
miners’ representative, if requested.
MSHA assumes that a copy of the
revisions will be requested. The burdens
for notification, providing requested
copies, and posting associated with
mine ventilation plan revisions
resulting from section 75.371(f) and (j)
are accounted for in this package under
section 75.370(a)(3)(i), (f)(1), (a)(3)(iii),
and (f)(3) respectively.

memorial to students and alumni of the
UM who served in World War II,
including the 588 who died in the war.
The MMPP’s purpose has been to
encourage and support research on the
peaceful uses of nuclear energy and its
social implications. The FNR was used

PO 00000

Frm 00063

Fmt 4703

Sfmt 4703

20017

by students, faculty and staff of the UM
and other institutions and entities for
research, experiments, and education
classes. The FNR operations provided
major assistance to a wide variety of
research and educational programs,
including neutron irradiation services,
neutron beam port experimental
facilities, classes in reactor operations,
reactor related laboratory work, neutron
activation analysis, isotope preparation,
radiochemical preparation, gamma
irradiation services, neutron
radiography, testing services, and
training programs. The licensee ceased
operation of the facility in July 2003,
and the fuel was subsequently removed
in December 2003. The FNR underwent
decommissioning activities from 2006
until 2012, followed by Final Status
Surveys (FSS) in the winter of 2012 to
assess the final radiological status of the
facility.
The licensee submitted a proposed
Decommissioning Plan (DP) on June 23,
2004 (ADAMS Package No.
ML041810586) which was revised on
January 10, 2006 (ADAMS Package No.
ML060180411). The NRC approved the
revised UM DP by Amendment No. 50
to License R–28, dated June 26, 2006
(ADAMS Accession No. ML061220260).
As required by the FNR DP, the UM
submitted a Final Status Survey Plan
(FSSP), in letters dated April 8, 2011,
July 12, 2011, January 20, 2012, June 1,
2012, July 13, 2012, and September 17,
2012 (ADAMS Accession Nos.
ML11119A004, ML11199A009,
ML12025A125, ML12157A266,
ML12199A018, and ML12264A562,
respectively). Additional site
characterization information for the
FNR was provided on February 14,
2012, and September 18, 2012 (ADAMS
Package No. ML120950629 and ADAMS
Accession No. ML12264A064).
By letter dated October 25, 2012
(ADAMS Accession No. ML12293A302),
the NRC reviewed the FSSP and
determined that after a change to one
paragraph, it was acceptable and
consistent with the guidance in
NUREG–1757, ‘‘Consolidated
Decommissioning Guidance’’ (ADAMS
Accession No. ML063000243), and
NUREG–1575, ‘‘Multi-Agency Radiation
Survey and Site Investigation Manual’’
(MARSSIM) (ADAMS Accession No.
ML082470583). The UM provided the
modified FSSP with the revised
paragraph on November 2, 2012
(ADAMS Accession No. ML12312A130).
The modification required an additional
final status survey for three special areas
of the FNR.
The UM provided a final status survey
report (FSSR) which included
information on the three special FSS
