Bucyrus and ESWW's Permissible Cat

For those actually interested in the company, I have started to try and track down more info on the Bucyrus and Permissible connection.

Note that Permissible text from the 10-K:

ESW's Permissible Cat(TM) is a current product that helps the mining community meet the new emission targets regulated by MSHA and is currently being used by Bucyrus Inc as part of an engine pack to meet the new MSHA underground coal mining requirements. It is also designed to reduce hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and unpleasant odors.

It is also very important to note that also in the 10-K is the note that at least one customer has already had its engine certified with a Permissible Cat. This customer must be Bucyrus.

I cannot be positive at this point this is the engine in question, but here is one ceritification given to Bucyrus in December of 2008:

"The following product was approved or certified as having met Part 36, Title 30 CFR.
1. Model 488D Diesel-Powered UNATRAC. Approval No. 36-CA080009-0, issued to Bucyrus America, Inc., 4041 Wurno Road, Pulaski, VA 24301, December 17, 2008."
