(c) There are currently no replacement
3M PAPRs that meet the MSHA
standard for permissibility.
(d) The VersafloTM TR–800
Intrinsically Safe PAPR qualifies as
intrinsically safe in the US, Canada, and
countries that accept the International
Electrotechnical Commissions System
for Certification to Standards Relating to
Equipment for Use in Explosive
Atmosphere (IECEx). It is not MSHAapproved and 3M is not currently
pursuing approval.
The petitioner proposes the following
alternative method:
(1) The operator is petitioning to use
the VersafloTM TR–800 Intrinsically Safe
PAPR in return airways.
(2) The equipment will be examined
at least weekly by a qualified person
according to 30 CFR 75.512–2 and
examination results will be recorded
weekly and may be expunged after one
year.
(3) The operator will comply with 30
CFR 75.323.
(4) A qualified person under 30 CFR
75.151 will monitor for methane as is
required in the mine.
(5) Qualified miners will receive
training regarding the information in the
Decision and Order before using
equipment in the relevant part of the
mine. A record of the training will be
kept and available upon request.
(6) Within 60 days of the Decision and
Order becoming finalized, the operator
will submit proposed revisions to 30
CFR 75.370, mine ventilation, to be
approved under the 30 CFR part 48
training plan by the Coal Mine Safety
and Health District Manager. The
revisions will specify initial and
refresher training and when the
revisions are conducted, the MSHA
Certificate of Training (Form 5000–23)
will be completed. Comments will be
made on the certificate to note nonpermissible testing equipment training.
(7) The operator is responsible for all
people, including contractors, using the
above equipment. The petitioner asserts
that the alternative method will
guarantee no less than the same measure
of protection afforded the miners under
the mandatory standard.

standard, 30 CFR 75.1002(a), as it relates
to the use of an alternative method of
respirable dust protection at the
Francisco Underground Pit mine. The
operator is petitioning to use a battery
powered respirable protection unit

be the last opportunity to order the
Airstream components.
(c) There are currently no replacement
3M PAPRs that meet the MSHA
standard for permissibility.
(d) The VersafloTM TR–800
Intrinsically Safe PAPR qualifies as

collection requirements on respondents
can be properly assessed. Currently, the

covered workers. The MSPA requires
that any person owning or controlling
any facility or real property to be used

whether the information will have
practical utility;

agency’s estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used;
• 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 submissions
of responses.
III. Current Actions: The DOL seeks an
approval for the extension of this
information collection that requires any
person owning or controlling any
facility or real property to be occupied
by migrant agricultural workers to
obtain a certificate of occupancy.
