SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

October 26, 1994 (59 FR 53884), OSM

published a proposed rule which would

amend its regulations in response to a

petition for rulemaking. The rulemaking

would require that the regulatory

authority provide to each person who

was a party to an informal conference its

written findings granting, requiring

modification of, or denying a permit

application. The rulemaking would also

require both that an approved permit

contain in its permit area only lands for

which the applicant has established a

right-to-enter and commence surface

coal mining and reclamation operations,

and that compliance with an approved

permit be based on activities to be

conduced solely upon such lands.

On December 23, 1994 (59 FR 66286),

as a result of a commenter’s request, the

comment period was extended to

February 27, 1995. OSM has received

requests to hold a public hearing on the

proposed rule. Therefore, in order to

accommodate the public hearing, OSM

will reopen the comment period.

Comments will now be accepted until 5

p.m. local time on March 23, 1995.

Refer to DATES and ADDRESSES for the

times, dates and locations for the

hearing. The hearing will continue until

all persons wishing to testify have been

heard. To assist the transcriber and

ensure an accurate record, OSM

requests that persons who testify at a

hearing give the transcriber a written

copy of their testimony.

special accommodations to attend this

Approval of Delegation of Authority;

National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants; Coke Oven

Batteries; Utah

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to grant

delegation of authority to the State of

Utah to implement and enforce the

National Emission Standards for Coke

Oven Emissions. The Governor of Utah

requested delegation from EPA Region

VIII in a letter dated August 18, 1994.

In the Final Rules Section of this

Federal Register, EPA is approving the

State of Utah’s request for delegation as

a direct final rule without prior proposal

because EPA views this as a

noncontroversial action and anticipates

no adverse comments. EPA’s 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 rule. If EPA receives

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will be withdrawn and all public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. EPA 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: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received in writing by April 10,

1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be submitted to Patricia D. Hull,
