SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background on the Ohio Program

On August 16, 1982, the Secretary of

the Interior conditionally approved the

Ohio program. Information on the

general background of the Ohio program

submissions, including the Secretary’s

findings, the disposition of comments,

and a detailed explanation of the

conditions of approval of the Ohio

program, can be found in the August 10,

1982, Federal Register (47 FR 34688).

Subsequent actions concerning the

conditions approval and program

amendments are identified at 30 CFR

935.11, 935.12, 935.15, and 935.16.

II. Proposed Amendment

The Ohio Department of Natural

Resources, Division of Reclamation

(Ohio) submitted proposed Program

Amendment Number 69 by letter dated

September 22, 1994 (Administrative

Record No. OH–2059). In this

amendment, Ohio proposed to revise

two rules at Ohio Administrative Code

(OAC) sections 1501:13–1–03 and 13–7–
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 92 / Friday, May 12, 1995 / Proposed Rules 25661

05 to make the Ohio program as

effective as the corresponding Federal

regulations concerning financial interest

statements, appeal procedures for

remedial actions regarding prohibited

financial interests, and yield data for

pasture or grazing land.

OSM announced receipt of PA 69 in

the October 21, 1994, Federal Register

(59 FR 53122), and, in the same

document, opened the public comment

period and providing an opportunity for

a public hearing on the adequacy of the

proposed amendment. The public

comment period closed on November

21, 1994.

OSM and Ohio staff met on February

6, 1995, to discuss OSM’s questions and

concerns about PA 69 (Administrative

Record No. OH–2098). In response to

OSM’s February 6, 1995, questions and

comments, Ohio providing Revised

Program Amendment Number 69 (PA

69R) by letter dated March 8, 1995

(Administrative Record No. OH–2099).

In PA 69R, Ohio proposed further

revisions to one rule at OAC section

1501:13–1–03 concerning the inclusion

of hearing officers of the Ohio

Reclamation Board of Review under that

rule’s definition of ‘‘employee.’’

OSM announced receipt of PA 69R in

the March 17, 1995, Federal Register

(60 FR 14401), and, in the same

document, opened the public comment

period and providing an opportunity for

a public hearing on the adequacy of the

proposed amendment. The public

comment period closed on April 3,

1995.

On April 19, 1995 (Administrative

Record No. OH–2114), OSM notified

Ohio that OSM had made an error in its

February 6, 1995, questions and

comments on PA 69 and had omitted

one necessary change to OAC 1501:13–

1–03 paragraph (L)(1). By letter dated

May 3, 1995 (Administrative Record No.

OH–2115), Ohio submitted further

revisions to this one rule paragraph to

delete a separate reference to the

Reclamation Board of Review’s hearing

officers because Ohio is now proposing

that those hearing officers be included

under the definition of ‘‘employee’’ in

this rule.

30 CFR 732.17(h), OSM is now seeking

Sign System, and Station Identification

Self-Assigned Indicator

AGENCY: Federal Communications

Commission.

organization eligible for a club station
