The Department is publishing a summary of the request in order to solicit comments from affected parties on the proposed variance request. Comments may be used by the Bureau to assist in its investigation of the variance request. Comments will be accepted for 30 days following the publication of this notice. All comments should be addressed to: Richard E. Stickler, Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety, Fayette County Health Center, 100 New Salem Road, Room 167, Uniontown, PA 15401.
Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act (52 P. S. §§ 701--702) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 221(d) requires that in case of accident to a ventilating fan or its machinery, or if the fan stoppage is a planned interruption whereby the ventilation of the mine is interrupted, the mine foreman shall order the power to be disconnected from the affected portions and withdraw the men immediately from the face areas. In mines employing the use of multiple fans equipped with self-closing doors which operate automatically when the fan is stopped, such action need not be taken provided the minimum requirements are met by other fans of the system. If the fan has been stopped for a period of time in excess of 15 minutes in a gassy mine, and 30 minutes in a non-gassy mine, the mine foreman shall order the men withdrawn from the mine. If the mine foreman shall deem it necessary, he may withdraw the men from a gassy mine in less than the said 15 minutes and from a non-gassy mine in less than the said 30 minutes. He shall not allow the men to return to their work until ventilation has been restored and the mine has been thoroughly examined by certified personnel and reported safe. A record shall be made of said examination.
Summary of the request: TJS Mining, Inc. requests a waiver of section 221(d) of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act. This waiver will provide accommodations for the evacuation of men from the TJS #1 Mine by way of battery-powered personnel carriers and/or mantrips.

Section 221(d) requires that in case of accident to a ventilating fan or its machinery, or if the fan stoppage is a planned interruption whereby the ventilation of the mine is interrupted, the mine foreman shall order the power to be disconnected from the affected portions and withdraw the men immediately from the face areas. In mines employing the use of multiple fans equipped with self-closing doors which operate automatically when the fan is stopped, such action need not be taken provided the minimum requirements are met by other fans of the system. If the fan has been stopped for a period of time in excess of 15 minutes in a gassy mine, and 30 minutes in a non-gassy mine, the mine foreman shall order the men withdrawn from the mine. If the mine foreman shall deem it necessary, he may withdraw the men from a gassy mine in less than the said 15 minutes and from a non-gassy mine in less than the said 30 minutes. He shall not allow the men to return to their work until ventilation has been restored and the mine has been thoroughly examined by certified personnel and reported safe. A record shall be made of said examination.

Section 702 of the Bituminous Coal Mine Act (52 P. S. §§ 701--702) provides a mechanism for operators to obtain variances from specific requirements of the act to accommodate the adoption of new machinery, equipment, tools, supplies, methods or processes.
Section 242(c) states that where belt conveyors are installed, main stoppings and regulators shall be so arranged as to reduce the quantity of air traveling in the belt conveyor entry to a minimum for effective ventilation and to provide an intake air split as an escapeway from the face area to the main air current.
Summary of the request: Canterbury Coal Company requests a variance of section 242(c). In lieu of isolating the belt entry from other entries, Canterbury Coal Company proposes a maximum of two entries in common with the belt entry. They propose additional safety precautions in lieu of isolation to comply with section 242(c).
