Proposed Suspension and 

Modification of Nationwide Permit 21 

AGENCY: United States Army Corps of 

Engineers, Department of Defense. 

ACTION: Notice of public hearings. 

SUMMARY: In the July 15, 2009, issue of 

the Federal Register (74 FR 34311) the 

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers published 

a proposal to take two actions 

concerning Nationwide Permit 21, 

which authorizes discharges of dredged 

or fill material into waters of the United 

States for surface coal mining activities. 

The two proposed actions are to 

suspend NWP 21 to prohibit its use to 

authorize surface coal mining activities 

in the Appalachian region of Kentucky, 

Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, 

Virginia, and West Virginia, and then to 

modify NWP 21 to make that 

prohibition permanent until NWP 21 

expires on March 18, 2012. In the July 

15, 2009, notice we also offered 

commenters opportunity to request a 

public hearing. In the August 13, 2009, 

issue of the Federal Register (74 FR 

40815), we extended the comment 

period to September 14, 2009. We have 

received several requests to hold public 

hearings, and have determined that 

hearings would afford us the 

opportunity to gain additional 

information to assist us in reaching 

decisions on these two proposed 

actions. Therefore, we will be holding 

public hearings in each of the six 

affected states. Written comments to 

supplement the hearing records may be 

submitted until October 26, 2009. 

DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section for public hearing dates. Written 

comments to supplement the hearing 

records may be submitted until October 

26, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: See SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section for public hearing 

addresses. Written comments to 

supplement the hearing records may be 

submitted by any of the following 

methods: 

Federal eRulemaking Portal: http:// 

www.regulations.gov. Follow the 

instructions for submitting comments to 

supplement the hearing records to 

docket number COE–2009–0032. 

Mail: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 

Attn: CECW–CO (Attn: Ms. Desiree 

Hann), 441 G Street, NW., Washington, 

DC 20314–1000. 

Hand Delivery/Courier: Due to 

security requirements, we cannot 

receive comments to supplement the 

hearing records by hand delivery or 

courier. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. 

Desiree Hann or Mr. David Olson, 

Headquarters, Operations and 

Regulatory Community of Practice, 

Washington, DC. Ms. Hann can be 

reached at 202–761–4560 and Mr. Olson 

can be reached at 202–761–4922. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the July 

15, 2009, issue of the Federal Register 

(74 FR 34311) the U.S. Army Corps of 

Engineers (Corps) published a proposal 

to take two actions concerning 

Nationwide Permit 21, which authorizes 

discharges of dredged or fill material 

into waters of the United States for 

surface coal mining activities. In the 

August 13, 2009, issue of the Federal 

Register (74 FR 40815) the Corps 

announced the extension of the 

comment period for those two proposed 

actions to September 14, 2009. 

We have received several requests for 

public hearings. Most of those requests 

have asked that we conduct six public 

hearings, one in each of the six states 

proposed to be affected by the 

suspension and modification of NWP 

21, including Kentucky, Ohio, 

Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and 

West Virginia. Since we have 

determined that the hearings would 

likely provide additional information to 

assist us in our decision making for the 

two proposed actions, we have decided 

to hold six public hearings in cities that 

are either in or near the coalfield regions 

in each of these six states. The legal 

authority for these hearings is Section 

404 of the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 

1344). 

The hearings are open to the public. 

Comments may be submitted in person 

at the hearing or in writing to the Chief 

of Engineers through the methods listed 

in the ADDRESSES section above. Filing 

of written statements would be helpful 

and facilitate the job of the court 

reporters. All hearings will be 

transcribed. Depending on the number 

of people of who wish to speak at each 

public hearing, the hearing officer may 

impose a time limit for each speaker, so 

that everyone who wishes to speak will 

be given the opportunity to do so. Each 

public hearing will be held in 

accordance with the Corps public 

hearing regulations at 33 CFR Part 327. 

Written comments to supplement the 

hearing records may be submitted until 

October 26, 2009. 

The public hearings will be held on 

the following dates and at the following 

locations: 

1. Huntington District: October 13, 

2009, in Charleston, West Virginia at the 

Charleston Civic Center, Little Theatre.
