[December 11, 2006 (Volume 71, Number 237)] [Unified Agenda] [Page 73559] Department of Labor (DOL) Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) Proposed Rule Stage _______________________________________________________________________ 2103. FIRE EXTINGUISHERS IN UNDERGROUND COAL MINES Priority: Other Significant Legal Authority: 30 USC 811 CFR Citation: 30 CFR 75.1100-2 Legal Deadline: None Abstract: The fire protection requirement in 30 CFR 75.1100-2(e)(2) requires rock dust and water at the underground workings at anthracite coal mines, and (e)(2) requires a fire extinguisher and rock dust at temporary electrical installations. MSHA has granted 101(c) petitions for modification allowing operators to use only fire extinguishers in lieu of rock dust and other requirements at these two locations. This direct final rule would eliminate the need to file petitions to use this alternative method of compliance.
