30 CFR Part 943 

[SATS Nos. TX–061–FOR; TX–062–FOR; 

TX–063–FOR; Docket ID: OSM–2011–0007] 

Texas Regulatory Program 

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement, Interior. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; public comment 

period and opportunity for public 

hearing. 

SUMMARY: We, the Office of Surface 

Mining Reclamation and Enforcement 

(OSM), are announcing receipt of three 

proposed amendments to the Texas 

regulatory program under the Surface 

Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 

1977 (SMCRA or the Act). 

Texas at its own initiative submitted 

three separate amendments to its 

program: SATS Nos. TX–061–FOR, TX– 

062–FOR, and TX–063–FOR. Texas 

proposes revisions in TX–061–FOR by 

adding language that no longer requires 

an operation with only reclamation 

activities ongoing to renew their mining 

permit, to clarify the requirement to 

maintain public liability insurance for 

sites where the permit is not renewed 

because the only activities ongoing are 

reclamation, and to clarify midterm 

review times for sites where the permit 

is not renewed because the only ongoing 

activities are reclamation. Texas 

proposes revisions in TX–062–FOR by 

adding a new definition for ‘‘Previously 

mined land,’’ adding new language on 

the effects of previous mining violations 

from operations on previously mined 

lands in relation to permit application 

denials, and adding new language 

explaining performance standards for 

revegetation liability timeframes for coal 

mining and reclamation operations. 

Texas proposes revisions in TX–063– 

FOR by adding a new definition for 

‘‘Director;’’ deleting old language, and 

adding new language clarifying the 

review periods for new permits, 

renewals, and significant revisions. 

Texas intends to revise its program to 

improve operational efficiency. 

This document provides the times 

and locations that the Texas program 

and proposed amendments to that 

program are available for public 

inspection, the comment period during 

which you may submit written 

comments on these amendments, and 

the procedures that we will follow for 

the public hearing, if one is requested. 

DATES: We will accept written 

comments on these amendments until 4 

p.m., c.d.t., September 15, 2011. If 

requested, we will hold a public hearing 

on the amendments on September 12, 

2011. We will accept requests to speak 

at a hearing until 4 p.m., c.d.t. on 

August 31, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments,

TX–062–FOR, or TX–063–FOR by any 

of the following methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background on the Texas Program 

II. Description of the Proposed Amendments 

III. Public Comment Procedures 

IV. Procedural Determinations 

I. Background on the Texas Program 

Section 503(a) of the Act permits a State 

to assume primacy for the regulation of 

surface coal mining and reclamation 

operations on non-Federal and nonIndian lands within its borders by 

demonstrating that its program includes, 

among other things, ‘‘a State law which 

provides for the regulation of surface 

coal mining and reclamation operations 

in accordance with the requirements of 

this Act * * *; and rules and 

regulations consistent with regulations 

issued by the Secretary pursuant to this 

Act.’’ See 30 U.S.C. 1253(a)(1) and (7). 

On the basis of these criteria, the 

Secretary of the Interior conditionally 

approved the Texas program effective 

February 16, 1980. You can find 

background information on the Texas 

program, including the Secretary’s 

findings, the disposition of comments, 

and the conditions of approval of the 

Texas program in the February 27, 1980, 

Federal Register (45 FR 12998). You can 

also find later actions concerning the 

Texas program and program 

amendments at 30 CFR 943.10, 943.15, 

and 943.16. 

II. Description of the Proposed 

Amendments 

1. By letter dated May 18, 2011, 

(Administrative Record No. TX–667) 

Texas sent us an amendment to its 

Program under SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1201 

et seq.) at its own initiative. Below is a 

summary of the changes proposed by 

Texas. The full text of the program 

amendment is available for you to read 

at the locations listed above under

www.regulations.gov. 

A. 16 Texas Administrative Code (TAC)

B. 16 TAC § 12.225—Commission 

Review of Outstanding Permits 

Texas proposes to add new language 

clarifying the requirement for midterm 

permit reviews on permits that are not 

renewed because the only activities are 

solely for reclamation. 

C. 16 TAC § 12.311—Terms and 

Conditions for Liability Insurance 

Texas proposes to add new language 

clarifying the need to maintain liability 

insurance on a site if the permit is not

(Administrative Record No. TX–668)

paragraph in this section, explaining 

that the Commission may not deny a

in connection with a surface coal 

mining operation conducted on 

previously mined land if the violation 

resulted from an event or condition that 

was not contemplated in the permit for 

the surface coal mining operation. 

C. Texas NRC § 134.092— 

PERFORMANCE STANDARDS 

Texas proposes to add new language 

in this section establishing timeframes 

regarding the assumption of 

responsibility for successful 

revegetation as required by Subdivision 

(19). These are established five years 

after the last year of augmented seeding, 

fertilizing, irrigation, or other work in 

order to assure compliance with that 

subdivision, if the land is not previously 

mined land; or two years after the last 

year of augmented seeding, fertilizing, 

irrigation, or other work in order to 

assure compliance with that 

subdivision, if the land is previously 

mined land. 

D. Texas NRC § 134.104—Responsibility 

for Revegetation: Area of Low 

Precipitation. 

Texas proposes to add new language 

in this section clarifying that where the 

annual average precipitation is 26 

inches or less, an operator’s assumption 

of responsibility and liability extends 

for 10 years after the last year of 

augmented seeding, fertilizing, 

irrigation, or other work, if the land is 

not previously mined land; or five years 

after the last year of augmented seeding, 

fertilizing, irrigation, or other work, if 

the land is previously mined land. 

E. Texas NRC § 134.105—Responsibility 

for Revegetation: Long-Term Intensive 

Agricultural Postmining Use

§ 134.004—Definitions 

Texas proposes to add a new 

definition for ‘‘Director.’’ 

B. Texas NRC § 134.080—Approval or 

Disapproval of Permit Revision 

Texas proposes to delete the word 

‘‘DISAPPROVAL’’ from this section 

heading and delete the paragraph that 

gives the timeframes for the 

Commission to approve or disapprove a 

permit revision application. 

C. Texas NRC § 134.085—Review 

Periods for New Permits, Renewals, and 

Revisions
