To assist the operators in completing this portion, the various components may be checked off, once they have been included in the application.

The second set of draft forms, entitled "Diesel Powered Equipment Package Approval Checklist" are internal forms to be used by the various staff members involved in the technical approval process. These forms are further broken down into the four modules previously named in this document.

In developing these forms, it was the intent of the BDMS to structure both the application, as well as the evaluator checklists, in such a manner as to promote both ease in completing the package application, as well as the timely evaluation of same.

The Diesel Powered Equipment Package approval process will involve review by the equipment approval section, the bituminous engineering section, and the training section. Input will also be received from the district mine and district electrical inspection staff. An administrator (program coordinator) will be responsible to distribute the application modules to the appropriate reviewers and track all actions including correspondence and database management.

In keeping with the Department's Money-Back Guarantee Program, the BDMS will adhere to the following timelines during the approval of each application.

Administrative Review: 7 calendar days

This review is conducted following receipt of the application at the BDMS office. This review consists of an overall evaluation of the DPEP to ensure that the operator has provided information for each of the four modules as well as the completeness of the necessary general information. This does not include a technical evaluation of the information contained in each module, but rather its general inclusion. Following acceptance of the application, the DPEP modules will be distributed to program specific staff for initiation of the First Technical Review.

First Technical Review: 30 calendar days

This review consists of the evaluation and approval of each module by program specific personnel. During this review, it shall be noted what portions of the DPEP module meet with Department approval. Following the review of the entire module, that portion of the DPEP shall be returned to the program coordinator for the following action:

Approval: Providing that all four modules satisfactorily comply with the law, the DPEP will be sent on for Decision Review.

First Review Letter: All exceptions or deficiencies in each of the modules shall be compiled by the program coordinator, who in turn, shall draft a review letter to the applicant noting required action. At this time the "clock" stops until such time as a reply is received from the operator. The operator has up to 30 days to respond to this request for additional or missing information. Following receipt of the additional or missing information, the operator's DPEP application will advance to the Second Technical Review. In instances where the DPEP applicant fails to reply within the time frame previously mentioned, the DPEP application will be denied and returned to the operator.
Second Technical Review: 20 calendar days

This review, performed again by program specific personnel, consists of a review of all additional information submitted in response to the first review letter, to ensure that each element previously missing or deficient has been addressed. This review will result in one of the following:

Approval: Providing that all four modules satisfactorily comply with the regulations, the DPEP will be sent on for Decision Review.

Second Review Letter: All exceptions or deficiencies of each of the modules shall be compiled by the program coordinator who in turn shall draft a second review letter to the applicant noting required action. At this time the "clock" stops until such time as a reply is received by the operator. The operator has up to 30 days to respond. Following receipt of the additional or missing information, a final technical review will be conducted by appropriate staff. In instances where the DPEP applicant fails to reply within the time frame previously mentioned, or does not satisfactorily address the items identified in the second review letter, the DPEP application will be denied and returned to the operator. If the application is determined to be in compliance with the law after this review, it will be forwarded for a Decision Review.

Decision Review: 15 calendar days

During this review, the DPEP, along with the evaluators' checklists shall be distributed among management personnel for their approval and signature. Final approval will be issued by the Director, Bureau of Deep Mine Safety.
