No. 15-17587-276338 : v. : Docket No. KENT 2012-656 : A.C. No. 15-17587-273440 OHIO COUNTY COAL COMPANY, LLC : BEFORE: Jordan, Chairman; Young and Nakamura, Commissioners ORDER BY THE COMMISSION: These matters arise under the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977, 30 U.S.C. § 801 et seq. (2006) (“Mine Act”). On March 2 and March 7, 2012, the Commission received from Ohio County Coal Company (“Ohio”) two motions seeking to reopen two penalty assessments that had become final orders of the Commission pursuant to section 105(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. § 815(a).1 Under section 105(a) of the Mine Act, an operator who wishes to contest a proposed penalty must notify the Secretary of Labor no later than 30 days after receiving the proposed penalty assessment. If the operator fails to notify the Secretary, the proposed penalty assessment is deemed a final order of the Commission. 30 U.S.C. § 815(a). We have held, however, that in appropriate circumstances, we possess jurisdiction to reopen uncontested assessments that have become final Commission orders under section 105(a). Jim Walter Res., Inc., 15 FMSHRC 782, 786-89 (May 1993) (“JWR”). In evaluating requests to reopen final section 105(a) orders, the Commission has found guidance in Rule 60(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure under which, for example, a party could be entitled to relief from a final order of the Commission on the basis of mistake, inadvertence, or excusable neglect. See 29 C.F.R. § 2700.1(b) (“the Commission and its Judges shall be guided so far as practicable by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure”); JWR, 15 FMSHRC at 787. We have also observed 1 Pursuant to Commission Procedural Rule 12, on our own motion, we hereby consolidate docket numbers KENT 2012-652 and KENT 2012-656, both captioned Ohio County Coal Company, LLC, and involving similar procedural issues. 29 C.F.R. § 2700.12. 35 FMSHRC Page 1 that default is a harsh remedy and that, if the defaulting party can make a showing of good cause for a failure to timely respond, the case may be reopened and appropriate proceedings on the merits permitted. See Coal Prep. Servs., Inc., 17 FMSHRC 1529, 1530 (Sept. 1995). The record indicates that proposed assessment No. 000276338 was delivered on January 10, 2012, and became a final order of the Commission on February 9, 2012. Proposed assessment No. 000273440 was delivered on December 6, 2011, and became a final order of the Commission on January 5, 2012. Ohio asserts that its safety manager only received proposed assessment No. 000276338 on January 23, 2012, and proposed assessment No. 000273440 on December 21, 2011. Ohio states that it has been unable to determine what caused the failure to its internal mail delivery system. Ohio states that it only became aware of the delinquencies when it received MSHA delinquency notices, dated February 29, 2012 and January 27, 2012. The Secretary does not oppose the requests to reopen based solely on the fact that the penalty contests were mailed six and seven days, respectively, after becoming a final order. The Secretary also notes that MSHA received two payments for the uncontested penalties, by checks dated February 21 and January 20, 2012. The Secretary cautions that she may oppose future motions to reopen penalty assessments that are not contested in a timely manner. The Commission has made it clear that where a failure results from an inadequate or unreliable internal processing system, the operator has not established grounds for reopening the assessment.

We urge the operator to take all steps necessary to ensure that future penalty contests are timely filed. 35 FMSHRC Page 2 Having reviewed Ohio’s requests and the Secretary’s responses, in the interests of justice, we hereby reopen these matters and remand them to the Chief Administrative Law Judge for further proceedings pursuant to the Mine Act and the Commission’s Procedural Rules, 29 C.F.R. Part 2700. Accordingly, consistent with Rule 28, the Secretary shall file petitions for assessment of penalty within 45 days of the date of this order.

(2006) (“Mine Act”). On March 2, 2012, the Commission received from River View Coal, LLC (“River”) a motion seeking to reopen a penalty assessment that had become a final order of the Commission pursuant to section 105(a) of the Mine Act, 30 U.S.C. § 815(a). Under section 105(a) of the Mine Act, an operator who wishes to contest a proposed penalty must notify the Secretary of Labor no later than 30 days after receiving the proposed penalty assessment. If the operator fails to notify the Secretary, the proposed penalty assessment is deemed a final order of the Commission.

  • SOME DESCENDANTS MORDECAI Mckinney
    SOME DESCENDANTS of MORDECAI McKINNEY Edited by Gerald McKinney Petty and Eulah McKinney Ridgway 19 5 3 This edition consists of 200 copies, of which this is copy number INTRODUCTION About 1930 Ada McKinney Petty, Eulah McK1nney Ridgway, and Gerald McKinney Petty gathered and recorded a fairly complete list of the descendants of Ebenezer McKinney and his wife Susannah Rutherford McKinney. Since most of the descendants lived in a small area in the northeast part of Randolph County, Missouri, the task was not difficult. In 1951 Eulah Ridgway and Gerald Petty decided to publish this genealogy. In addition, the record was extended back another three generations to Mordecai McKinney and his wife Mary Sebring McKinney. Any descendant of this couple whose record was made available to us was included. No attempt bas been made to achieve a complete list of their descendants. The major correspondents concerned with this part of the text include Walter McKinney, Mrs. Clara Niven, Martin Greely, Mrs. H. W. Davis, Mrs. Mary Barley, Mrs. Earl· G. Wyatt, Mrs. Mary Craig, Miss Willa Griffin, and Wm. R. Laalona:n. Their help and advice are gratefully acknowledged. Most of them were not allowed sufficient time to obtain complete infor­ mation. In addition to the editors, Mrs. Wyatt, Mrs. Barley, and Miss Griffin have proofread the entire text one or more times. More than one hundred persons have had an oppor­ tuni·ty to proofread portions of particular concern to them, and perhaps three-fourths of them did so. We consider this a grattlying response. We are aware that it is impossible to publish a book of this sort which is free from errors, and will appreciate being informed of errors when they are found.
