Title: ●Fire Extinguishers at Temporary Electrical Installations 
Abstract: The fire protection requirement in 30 CFR 75.1100-2(a)(2) and (e)(2) requires rock dust and water at the underground workings at anthracite mines, and 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 water. This direct final rule would eliminate the need to file petitions to use this alternative method of compliance.
