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 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 modifications.
II. Petitions for Modification
Docket Number: M–2008–044–C.
Petitioner: Summit Engineering, Inc.,
P.O. Box 130, 3016 Rt. 10,
Chapmanville, West Virginia 25508 on
behalf of INR–WV Operating, LLC.

Mine: Saunders Prep. Plant, MSHA
I.D. No. 46–02140, located in Logan
County, West Virginia.
Regulation Affected: 30 CFR 77.214(a)
(Refuge piles; general).
Modification Request: The petitioner
requests a modification of the existing
standard which prohibits refuse piles to
be located over abandoned openings to
permit abandoned mine openings to be
backfilled with inert non-acid
producing soil. The petitioner states
that: (1) The soil will extend
approximately 25 feet into the mine and
at least 4 feet in all directions beyond
the limits of the mine opening; (2) the
existing mine openings are within the
foot print of INR’s North Rock Refuse
Area; (3) the mine openings are from the
Buffalo Mining Company’s No. 5 Mine;
(4) production at the mine ceased in
1972 and has been abandoned since
then; and (5) mine openings within the
foot print are up-dip from additional
openings outside of the foot print of the
refuse area, and are dry. The petitioner
further states that: (1) There is
significant flow coming out of mine
openings down-dip from the refuse area;
(2) the entries down-dip of the refuse
areas will be left open to allow drainage
to continue and not impound water; (3)
any exposed coal seam along the mine
bench will be covered with soil to at
least 4 feet above the seam; (4) a riprap
rock underdrain connected to the
underdrain of the refuse fill will be
installed along the mine openings
consisting of durable sandstone
wrapped in filter fabric; (5) one 12-inch
SDR–11 high density polyethylene pipe
will placed at the mine opening with
the lowest elevation; (6) the
combination of the underdrain and pipe
will serve to handle localized drainage;
and (7) breaker rock coal refuse will be
placed in the fill in accordance with the
approved West Virginia Department of
Environmental Protection Surface
Mining Control and Reclamation Act
permit. The petitioner asserts that since
the existing mine is abandoned, this
plan will provide the same measure of
protection for the miners as the existing
standard.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES

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) (29 U.S.C. 651 et
seq.) authorizes information collection
by employers as necessary or
appropriate for enforcement of the Act
or for developing information regarding
the causes and prevention of
occupational injuries, illnesses, and
accidents (29 U.S.C. 657). The OSH Act
also requires that OSHA obtain such
information with minimum burden
upon employers, especially those
operating small businesses, and to
reduce to the maximum extent feasible
unnecessary duplication of efforts in
obtaining information (29 U.S.C. 657).
Manufacturer’s Certification of
Modifications (paragraph (b)(2)). The
Standard requires that when aerial lifts
are ‘‘field modified’’ for uses other than
those intended by the manufacturer, the
manufacturer or other equivalent entity,

VerDate Aug<31>2005

17:52 Oct 01, 2008

Jkt 217001

such as a nationally recognized testing
laboratory, must certify in writing that
the modification is in conformity with
all applicable provisions of ANSI
A92.2–1969 and the OSHA standard
and that the modified aerial lift is at
least as safe as the equipment was
before modification. Employers are to
maintain the certification record and
make it available to OSHA compliance
officers. This record provides assurance
to employers, employees, and
compliance officers that the modified
aerial lift is safe for use, thereby,
preventing failure while employees are
being elevated. The certification record
also provides the most efficient means
for the compliance officers to determine
that an employer is complying with the
Standard.
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 OSHA’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 that OMB extend
its approval of the information
collection requirement contained in the
Standard on Vehicle-Mounted Elevating
and Rotating Work Platforms (Aerial
Lifts) (29 CFR 1910.67). The Agency
wishes to retain its current estimate of
21 burden hours. 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: Vehicle-Mounted Elevating and
Rotating Work Platforms (Aerial Lifts)
(29 CFR 1910.67).
OMB Number: 1218–0230.

NUCLEAR REGULATORY
COMMISSION
[Docket No. Stn 50–528]

Arizona Public Service Company, et
al.; Palo Verde Nuclear Generating
Station, Unit 1; Environmental
Assessment and Finding of No
Significant Impact
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory
Commission (NRC) is considering
issuance of a temporary exemption from
Title 10 of the Code of Federal
Regulations (10 CFR) Part 50, Section
50.46 and 10 CFR 50, Appendix K, for
Facility Operating License No. NPF–41,
issued to Arizona Public Service
Company (APS, the licensee), for
operation of the Palo Verde Nuclear
Generating Station (PVNGS), Unit 1,
located in Maricopa County, Arizona.
Therefore, as required by 10 CFR 51.21,
the NRC is issuing this environmental
assessment and finding of no significant
impact.
Environmental Assessment
Identification of the Proposed Action
The proposed action would allow the
use of up to eight lead fuel assemblies
(LFAs) manufactured by AREVA NP
with fuel rods clad with M5 to be
inserted into the PVNGS, Unit 1 reactor
core during operating Cycles 15, 16, and
17.
The proposed action is in accordance
with the licensee’s request for
exemption dated March 8, 2008, as
supplemented by letter dated September
10, 2008.
The Need for the Proposed Action
The proposed temporary exemption is
needed to allow the use of M5 LFAs by
APS to evaluate cladding for future fuel
assemblies that may need to be of a
more robust design than current fuel
assemblies to allow for possibly higher
duty or extended burnup. The
regulations specify standards and
acceptance criteria only for fuel rods
clad with Zircaloy or ZIRLO. Consistent
with 10 CFR 50.46, a temporary
exemption is required to use fuel rods
clad with an advanced alloy that is not
Zircaloy or ZIRLO. Therefore, the
licensee needs a temporary exemption
to insert up to eight LFAs containing
new cladding material into the PVNGS,
