SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:

I. Background
Section 101(c) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act) allows the mine operator or
representative of miners to file a
petition to modify the application of any
mandatory safety standard to a coal or
other mine if the Secretary of Labor
determines that:
1. An alternative method of achieving
the result of such standard exists which
will at all times guarantee no less than
the same measure of protection afforded
the miners of such mine by such
standard; or
2. That the application of such
standard to such mine will result in a

diminution of safety to the miners in
such mine.
In addition, the regulations at 30 CFR
44.10 and 44.11 establish the
requirements and procedures for filing
petitions for modification.
II. Petitions for Modification
Docket Number: M–2016–008–M.
Petitioner: Martin Marietta Materials,
Inc., 11405 N. Pennsylvania St., Suite
250, Carmel, Indiana 46032.
Mine: Kokomo Mine, MSHA I.D. No.
12–02105, located in Howard County,
Indiana.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 49.2(c)
(Availability of mine rescue teams).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard for the Martin Marietta,
Indiana District Mine Rescue Team
stationed at the Kokomo Mine, to use
two additional firefighters from the
Kokomo Fire Department located in
Howard County, Indiana. The two
firefighters are in addition to the
proposed team of five experienced
miners from the Kokomo mine, North
Indianapolis mine, Noblesville Stone
mine and Kentucky Avenue mine.
The petitioner states that:
(1) The firefighters are in close
proximity to the mine, and will receive
the required MSHA training.
(2) The members of the fire
department have had extensive training
in firefighting, evacuation and rescue.
(3) The additional firefighters will
receive underground training and
become familiar with the mines where
they will be providing mine rescue
service. The team will have more rescue
training than existing 30 CFR 49.8
requires and will train underground
with apparatus at each mine where they
provide a service.
The petitioner asserts that the
alternative method will at all times
provide the same measure of protection
as the existing standard.

I. Background
Section 103(h) of the Federal Mine
Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine
Act), 30 U.S.C. 813(h), authorizes the
Mine Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA) to collect information

protecting the safety and health of

revise as may be appropriate, improved
mandatory health or safety standards for
the protection of life and prevention of
injuries in coal and metal and nonmetal
mines.
MSHA issues certifications,
qualifications and approvals to the
nation’s miners to conduct specific
work within the mines. Miners
requiring qualification or certification
from MSHA will register for an ‘‘MSHA
Individual Identification Number’’
(MIIN). MSHA uses this unique number
in place of individual Social Security
numbers (SSNs) for all MSHA
collections. The MIIN identifier fulfills
Executive Order 13402, Strengthening
Federal Efforts Against Identity Theft,
which requires Federal agencies to
better secure government held data.
II. Desired Focus of Comments
MSHA is soliciting comments
concerning the proposed information
collection related to Qualification/
Certification Program Request for MSHA
Individual Identification Number
(MIIN). MSHA is particularly interested
in comments that:
• Evaluate whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information has practical utility;
• Evaluate the accuracy of MSHA’s
estimate of the burden of the collection
of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
• Suggest methods to enhance the
quality, utility, and clarity of the
information to be collected; and
• Minimize the burden of the
collection of information on those who
are to respond, including through the
use of appropriate automated,
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses.
The information collection request
will be available on http://
www.regulations.gov. MSHA cautions
the commenter against providing any
information in the submission that
should not be publicly disclosed. Full
comments, including personal
information provided, will be made
available on www.regulations.gov and
www.reginfo.gov.
The public may also examine publicly
available documents at USDOL-Mine
