    (a) A petition for modification filed pursuant to Sec. 44.10 shall 
contain:
    (1) The name and address of the petitioner.
    (2) The mailing address and mine identification number of the mine 
or mines affected.
    (3) The mandatory safety standard to which the petition is directed.
    (4) A concise statement of the modification requested, and whether 
the petitioner proposes to establish an alternate method in lieu of the 
mandatory safety standard or alleges that application of the standard 
will result in diminution of safety to the miners affected or requests 
relief based on both grounds.
    (5) A detailed statement of the facts the petitioner would show to 
establish the grounds upon which it is claimed a modification is 
warranted.
    (6) Identification of any representative of the miners at the 
affected mine, if the petitioner is a mine operator.
    (b) A petition for modification shall not include a request for 
modification of the application of more than one mandatory safety 
standard. A petition for modification shall not request relief for more 
than one operator. However, an operator may file a petition for 
modification pertaining to more than one mine where it can be shown that 
identical issues of law and fact exist as to the petition for each mine.
