                SUMMARY: The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 and Title 30 of
                the Code of Federal Regulations govern the application, processing, and
                disposition of petitions for modification of mandatory safety
                standards. Any mine operator or representative of miners may petition
                for an alternative method of complying with an existing safety
                standard. MSHA reviews the content of each submitted petition, assesses
                the mine in question, and ultimately issues a decision on the petition.
                This notice includes a list of petitions for modification that were
                granted after MSHA's review and investigation, between April 20, 2019
                and December 14, 2020.
                ADDRESSES: Copies of the final decisions are posted on MSHA's website
                at https://www.msha.gov/regulations/rulemaking/petitions-modification.
                The public may inspect the petitions and final decisions during normal
                business hours in MSHA's Office of Standards, Regulations, and
                Variances, 201 12th Street South, Suite 4E401, Arlington, Virginia

                SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
                I. Introduction
                 Under section 101 of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of
                1977, any mine operator or representative of miners may petition to use
                an alternative approach to comply with a safety standard. In response,
                the Secretary of Labor (Secretary) or his or her designee may modify
                the application of a mandatory safety standard to that mine if the
                Secretary determines that: (1) An alternative method exists that will
                guarantee no less protection for the miners affected than that provided
                by the standard; or (2) the application of the standard will result in
                a diminution of safety to the affected miners.
                 MSHA bases the final decision on the petitioner's statements, any
                comments and information submitted by interested
                [[Page 320]]
                persons, and a field investigation of the conditions at the mine. In
                some instances, MSHA may approve a petition for modification on the
                condition that the mine operator complies with other requirements noted
                in the decision. In other instances, MSHA may deny, dismiss, or revoke
                a petition for modification. In accordance with 30 CFR 44.5, MSHA
                publishes every final action granting a petition for modification.
                II. Granted Petitions for Modification
                 On the basis of the findings of MSHA's investigation, and as
                designee of the Secretary, MSHA has granted or partially granted the
                petitions for modification below. Since the previous Federal Register
                notice (84 FR 34950) included petitions granted through April 19, 2019,
                listed below are petitions granted between April 20, 2019 and December
                20, 2020. The granted petitions are shown in the order that MSHA
                received them.
