SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

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 the conditions of approval

and program amendments at 30 CFR

920.15 and 920.16.

II. Description of the Proposed

Amendment

By an undated letter received by OSM

on May 7, 2001 (Administrative Record

No. 578–12), Maryland submitted a

copy of House Bill 984 as a formal

proposed amendment to its program.

The House Bill was enacted to require

members of the Land Reclamation

Committee to file a United States

Department of Interior State Employee

Statement of Employment and Financial

Interests. Maryland submitted the

formal amendment to satisfy a required

amendment at 30 CFR 920.16(l).

Maryland proposes to add new

paragraph 4. to Section 15–204 of the

Annotated Code of the Public General

Laws of Maryland, Environment, as

follows:

(4) Members of the Land Reclamation

Committee shall file a United States

Department of Interior State Employee

Statement of Employment and Financial

Interests.

As a result of the proposed addition

above, existing paragraph (4) is renumbered as paragraph (5).

III. Public Comment Procedures

In accordance with the provisions of

30 CFR 732.17(h), OSM is seeking

comments on whether the proposed

amendment satisfies the applicable

program approval criteria of 30 CFR

732.15. If the amendment is deemed

adequate, it will become part of the

Maryland program.

Written Comments: If you submit

written or electronic comments on the

proposed rule during the 30-day

comment period, they should be

specific, should be confined to issues

pertinent to the notice, and should

explain the reason for your

recommendation(s). We may not be able

to consider or include in the

Administrative Record comments

delivered to an address other than the

one listed above (see ADDRESSES).

Electronic comments: Please submit

Internet comments as an ASCII,

WordPerfect, or Word file avoiding the

use of special characters and any form

of encryption. Please also include Attn:

SPATS NO. MD–050–FOR’’ and your

name and return address in your

Internet message. If you do not receive

a confirmation that we have received

your Internet message, contact the

Appalachian Regional Coordinating

Center at (412) 937–2153.

Availability of Comments: Our

practice is to make comments, including

names and home addresses of

respondents, available for public review

during regular business hours at the

OSM Administrative Record Room (see

ADDRESSES). Individual respondents

may request that we withhold their

home address from the rulemaking

record, which we will honor to the

extent allowable by law. There also may

be circumstances in which we would

withhold from the rulemaking record a

respondent’s identity, as allowable by

law. If you wish us to withhold your

name and/or address, you must state

this prominently at the beginning of

your comment. However, we will not

consider anonymous comments. We

will make all submissions from

organizations or businesses, and from

individuals identifying themselves as

representatives or officials of

organizations or businesses, available

for public inspection in their entirety.

Public Hearing: If you wish to speak

at the public hearing, you should

contact the person listed under FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT by 4:00

p.m., E.D.T. on June 27, 2001. The

location and time of the hearing will be

arranged with those persons requesting

the hearing. If no one requests an

opportunity to speak at the public

hearing, the hearing will not be held.

To assist the transcriber and ensure an

accurate record, we request, if possible,

that each person who testifies at a

public hearing provide us with a written

copy of his or her testimony. The public

hearing will continue on the specified

date until all persons scheduled to

speak have been heard. If you are in the

audience and have not been scheduled

to speak and wish to do so, will be

allowed to speak after those who have

been scheduled. We will end the

hearing after all persons scheduled to

speak and persons present in the

audience who wish to speak have been

heard.

Any disabled individual who has

need for a special accommodation to

attend a public hearing should contact

the individual listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT.

Public Meeting: If only one person

requests an opportunity to speak at a

hearing, a public meeting, rather than a

public hearing, may be held. If you wish

to meet with OSM representatives to

discuss the proposed amendment, you

may request a meeting by contacting the

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT. All such meetings

will be open to the public and, if

possible, notices of meetings will be

posted at the locations listed under

ADDRESSES. A written summary of each

meeting will be made a part of the

Administrative Record.

IV. Procedural Determinations

Executive Order 12866—Regulatory

Planning and Review

This rule is exempted from review by

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) under Executive Order 12866.

Executive Order 12630—Takings

This rule does not have takings

implications. This determination is

based on the analysis performed for the

counterpart federal regulation.

Executive Order 13132—Federalism

This rule does not have federalism

implications. SMCRA delineates the

roles of the federal and state

governments with regard to the

regulation of surface coal mining and

reclamation operations. One of the

purposes of SMCRA is to ‘‘establish a

nationwide program to protect society

and the environment from the adverse

effects of surface coal mining

operations.’’ Section 503(a)(1) of

SMCRA requires that state laws

regulating surface coal mining and

reclamation operations be ‘‘in

accordance with’’ the requirements of

SMCRA, and section 503(a)(7) requires

that state programs contain rules and

regulations ‘‘consistent with’’

regulations issued by the Secretary

pursuant to SMCRA.

Executive Order 12988—Civil Justice

Reform

The Department of the Interior has

conducted the reviews required by

section 3 of Executive Order 12988 and

has determined that, to the extent

allowed by law, this rule meets the

applicable standards of subsections (a)

and (b) of that section. However, these

standards are not applicable to the

actual language of state regulatory

programs and program amendments

since each such program is drafted and

promulgated by a specific state, not by

OSM. Under sections 503 and 505 of

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 113 / Tuesday, June 12, 2001 / Proposed Rules 31573

SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1253 and 1255) and

30 CFR 730.11, 732.15, and

732.17(h)(10), decisions on proposed

state regulatory programs and program

amendments submitted by the states

must be based solely on a determination

of whether the submittal is consistent

with SMCRA and its implementing

federal regulations and whether the

other requirements of 30 CFR parts 730,

731, and 732 have been met.

National Environmental Policy Act

Section 702(d) of SMCRA (30 U.S.C.

1292(d)) provides that a decision on a

proposed state regulatory program

provision does not constitute a major

federal action within the meaning of

section 102(2)(C) of the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) (42

U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)). A determination has

been made that such decisions are

categorically excluded from the NEPA

process (516 DM 8.4.A).

Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule does not contain

information collection requirements that

require approval by the Office of

Management and Budget under the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3507 et seq.).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department of the Interior has

determined that this rule will not have

a significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5

U.S.C. 601 et seq.). The State submittal

which is the subject of this rule is based

upon counterpart Federal regulations for

which an economic analysis was

prepared and certification made that

such regulations would not have a

significant economic effect upon a

substantial number of small entities.

Accordingly, this rule will ensure that

existing requirements previously

promulgated by OSM will be

implemented by the State. In making the

determination as to whether this rule

would have a significant economic

impact, the Department relied upon the

data and assumptions for the

counterpart Federal regulations.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement

Fairness Act

This rule is not a major rule under 5

U.S.C. 804(2), the Small Business

Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act.

This rule:

a. Does not have an annual effect on

the economy of $100 million.

b. Will not cause a major increase in

costs or prices for consumers,

individual industries, federal, state, or

local government agencies, or

geographic regions.

c. Does not have significant adverse

effects on competition, employment,

investment, productivity, innovation, or

the ability of U.S. based enterprises to

compete with foreign-based enterprises.

This determination is based upon the

fact that the state submittal which is the

subject of this rule is based upon

counterpart federal regulations for

which an analysis was prepared and a

determination made that the federal

regulation was not considered a major

rule.

Unfunded Mandates

This rule will not impose a cost of

$100 million or more in any given year

on any governmental entity or the

private sector.

Implementation Plans; Minnesota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: We are proposing to approve

a State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision for Dakota County, Minnesota,

for the control of emissions of sulfur

dioxide (SO2) in the Pine Bend Area of

Rosemount. The site-specific SIP

revision for Koch Petroleum Group, LP

(Koch) was submitted by the Minnesota

Pollution Control Agency on December

20, 2000, and is approvable because it

satisfies the requirements of the Clean

Air Act. Specifically, EPA is proposing

to approve into the SO2 SIP Amendment

No. 4 to the Administrative Order for

Koch. In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, we are approving the

SIP revision as a direct final rule

without prior proposal, because we

view this as a noncontroversial revision

amendment and anticipate no adverse

comments. A detailed rationale for the

approval is set forth in the direct final

rule. If no adverse comments are

received in response to this proposed

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this proposed rule. If we

receive adverse comments, the direct

final rule will be withdrawn and all

public comments received will be

addressed in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. We will not

institute a second comment period on

this action. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before July 12, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be sent to: Canton T. Nash, Chief,
