Title: Field
Modifications of Permissible Mobile Diesel-Powered
Equipment |
Abstract: The
implementation of diesel regulations in 30 CFR parts 30
CFR 7, 30 CFR 36, 30 CFR 57, 30 CFR 72, and 30 CFR 75
has resulted in an increase in requests from owners of
approved equipment, typically underground mine
operators, to field modify permissible diesel-powered
equipment. Field modifications allow permissible
equipment to be modified for mine-specific use or to
comply with new diesel standards. Therefore, the Mine
Safety and Health Administration is proposing to add
field modification provisions to 30 CFR part 36
(Approval Requirements for Permissible Mobile
Diesel-Powered Transportation Equipment). This proposed
rule would codify the field modification process for
part 36 field modification acceptances, expand the field
modification process to allow mine operators to apply
for field modifications, and continue to ensure that
field-modified equipment operates safely in gassy
underground mines. The proposed rule would also
implement existing policy which dates from 1985, to
reflect current procedures for processing field
modifications related to mobile diesel-powered
transportation equipment. Further, the proposed rule
would require labeling provisions for all new field
modifications accepted under part 36. These new
provisions would enhance miner safety. |
