SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

response to a telephone request from a

member of the public, OSM is reopening

and extending the public comment

period on the proposed rule, Enhancing

AML Reclamation, published in the

Federal Register on June 25, 1998 (63

FR 34768).

OSM is proposing revisions to its

rules regarding the financing of

Abandoned Mine Land reclamation

(AML) projects that involve the

incidental extraction of coal. Projections

of receipts to the AML fund through the

year 2004, when the authority to collect

fees will expire, strongly indicate that

there will be insufficient money to

address all problems currently listed in

the Abandoned Mine Land Inventory

System. Given these limited AML

reclamation resources, OSM is seeking

an innovative way for AML agencies,

working with contractors, to maximize

available funds to increase AML

reclamation.

The first revision would amend the

definition of government-financed

construction to allow less than 50

percent government funding when the

construction is an approved AML

project under the Surface Mining

Control and Reclamation Act of 1977

(SMCRA). The existing definition

requires a minimum government

contribution of 50 percent to exempt

government-financed construction from

regulation under SMCRA.

The second revision would add a new

section which would require specific

consultations and concurrences with the

Title V regulatory authority for AML

construction projects receiving less than

50 percent government financing. These

consultations and concurrences are

intended to ensure the appropriateness

of the project being undertaken as a

Title IV AML project and not under the

Title V regulatory program.

Approval and Promulgation of State

Implementation Plans; California State

Implementation Plan Revision,

Mendocino County Air Quality

Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP). This action

is an administrative change which

revises two definitions and adds one

definition in Mendocino County Air

Quality Management District

(MCAQMD) Rule 130, Definitions.

The intended effect of proposing

approval of this rule is to incorporate

changes to the definitions for clarity and

consistency with revised federal and

state definitions. EPA is proposing

approval of this revision to be

incorporated into the California SIP for

the attainment and maintenance of the

national ambient air quality standards

(NAAQS) under title I of the Clean Air

Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA or the

Act). In the Final Rules Section of this

Federal Register, the EPA is approving

the state’s SIP revision as a direct final

rule without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

revision amendment and anticipates no

adverse comments. A detailed rationale

for this approval is set forth in the direct

final rule. If no relevant adverse

comments are received in response to

the direct final rule, no further activity

is contemplated in relation to this

proposed rule. If EPA receives relevant

adverse comments, the direct final rule

will not take effect and all public

comments received will be addressed in

a subsequent final rule based on this

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a

second comment period. Any parties

interested in commenting should do so

at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing by August 31, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to: Andrew

Steckel, Rulemaking Office (AIR–4), Air

Division, U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Region 9, 75 Hawthorne Street,

San Francisco, CA 94105–3901.

Copies of the rule revisions and EPA’s

evaluation report of each rule are

available for public inspection at EPA’s

Region 9 office during normal business

hours. Copies of the submitted rule

revisions are also available for

inspection at the following locations:
