VI. Procedural Determinations

I. Background on the Maryland

Program

On February 18, 1982, the Secretary of

the Interior approved the Maryland

program. You can find background

information on the Maryland program,

including the Secretary’s findings, the

disposition of comments, and the

conditions of approval in the February

18, 1982, Federal Register (47 FR 7214).

You can find subsequent actions

concerning conditions of approval and

program amendments at 30 CFR 920.12,

920.15, and 920.16.

II. Submission of the Amendment

By letter dated July 10, 2000

(Administrative Record No. MD–582–

00), Maryland submitted the proposed

amendment to its regulatory program

pursuant to the federal regulations at 30

CFR 732.17(b). Maryland proposed the

amendment to make its program no less

effective than the federal regulations at

30 CFR 707.5, 707.10, 874.10, and

874.17. These sections of the federal

regulations describe procedures for

financing abandoned mine land

reclamation projects that involve the

incidental extraction of coal. Maryland

proposed to change the definition of the

term, ‘‘Government-Financed

Construction’’ at Code of Maryland

Regulation (COMAR) 26.20.12.02 B(1)(a)

by adding the phrase, ‘‘Funding at less

than 50 percent may qualify if the

construction is undertaken as an

approved reclamation project under

Environment Article, Title 15, Subtitle

11 Annotated Code of Maryland and 30

CFR Subchapter R.’’

Maryland also added new section .04

to COMAR 26.20.12. This section is

titled, ‘‘Government Funded

Reclamation Projects.’’ The proposed

rulemaking was published in the August

14, 2000, Federal Register (65 FR

49524). The public comment period

closed on September 13, 2000. No one

requested an opportunity to speak at a

public hearing, so no hearing was held.

III. Director’s Findings

Set forth below, pursuant to SMCRA

and the federal regulations at 30 CFR

732.15 and 732.17, are the Director’s

findings concerning the amendments to

the Maryland regulatory program.

The first change Maryland is making

to its program is the modification of the

definition of the term, ‘‘GovernmentFinanced Construction’’ at COMAR

26.20.12.02 B(1)(a). Maryland added the
