State Program Amendments

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining

Reclamation and Enforcement, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Office of Surface Mining

Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is

proposing to amend its regulations by

revising the information currently

reported in the Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR) regarding the OSM

Director’s approval of amendments to

State regulatory programs and

abandoned mine land reclamation plans

(hereafter State program amendments).

This information would be condensed

to a tabular presentation depicting the

dates when State program amendments

were originally submitted to OSM and

the dates the OSM Director’s decision

approving all or portions of these

amendments were published in the

Federal Register. Such a rulemaking

would reduce the number of

unnecessary pages in the CFR. As

always, people interested in getting

copies of the full text of the amended

State regulatory program or abandoned

mine land reclamation plan could

contact the State regulatory authority

office or the OSM field office with

oversight authority for that State.

DATES: Written comments: We will

accept written comments on the

proposed rule until 5:00 p.m. Eastern

time on July 8, 1996.

Public hearings: We will accept

requests for a public hearing until 4:00

p.m. Eastern time on June 7, 1996.

People who want to attend but not

testify at the hearing, must contact the

person listed under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT, beforehand to

verify that we will hold a hearing. Any

disabled individuals who need special

accommodations to attend a public

hearing should also contact the person

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT.

ADDRESSES: Written comments: Please

hand-deliver to the Office of Surface

Mining Reclamation and Enforcement,

Room 120, 1951 Constitution Ave., NW,

Washington, DC, or mail to the Office of

Surface Mining Reclamation and

Enforcement, Administrative Record,

SIB 120, 1951 Constitution Ave., NW,

Washington, DC 20240.

You may also sent comments through

the Internet to OSM’s Administrative

Record. Our Internet address is:

OSNRules@OSMRE.GOV. We will file

copies of any electronic messages

received with our Administrative

Record.

Public hearings: You must contact the

person identified under FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT by the time

required under DATES to request a public

hearing.

III. Procedural Matters

I. Public Comment Procedures

Written Comments

If you are submitting written

comments on the proposed rule please

be specific, limit your comments to

issues pertinent to the proposed rule,

and explain the reason for your

recommendations. If possible, please

submit three copies of your comments

to our Administrative Record (see

ADDRESSES). We may not consider your

comments for the final rule when

received after the close of the comment

period (see DATES) or delivered to

addresses other than those listed in

ADDRESSES.
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 8, 1996 / Proposed Rules 20769

Public Hearings

We will hold public hearings on the

proposed rule by request only. If no one

has contacted Mr. Trelease requesting a

hearing by the date listed in DATES, we

will not hold a hearing. We will hold a

public meeting instead of a hearing if

only one person expresses an interest.

We will include the results of all

meetings and hearings in our

Administrative Record.

If we hold a hearing, it will continue

until everyone who wants to testify is

heard. Please provide us with an

advanced copy of your testimony at the

address specified for the submission of

written comments (see ADDRESSES), and

a copy to the transcriber when you

arrive at the hearing. This will assist us

in preparing appropriate questions, and

ensure that the transcriber provides us

with an accurate record of the

testimony.

II. Discussion of Rule

Why Is This Rule Being Written?

On March 4, 1995, the President

announced a government-wide

Regulatory Reinvention Initiative. The

President directed each agency to

conduct a page-by-page review of its

regulations for the purpose of

eliminating or revising those that are

outdated or otherwise in need of reform.

As part of that effort, OSM is

considering several means of reducing

the number of pages in the CFR.

This rulemaking would result in a

reduction of approximately 50 pages

from the CFR and reduce future printing

costs for the government, and contribute

to on-going efforts to make the CFR a

more readable document.

What Would Change?

The OSM Director’s approval or

approval in part of State program

amendments is published in the Federal

Register and codified in the CFR. The

regulatory text documenting such

decisions usually contains topical

outlines of the amendments and

associated program citations, the dates

the amendments were submitted to

OSM, and the dates the amendments

became effective. Under the revised

procedures of this rulemaking, the

regulatory text would be limited to a

tabular presentation of the dates that

States submitted amendments, and the

dates the amendments were published

in the Federal Register after approval,

or partial approval, by the OSM Director

for 30 CFR parts 901, 902, 904, 906, 913,

914, 915, 916, 917, 918 and 920.

OSM believes that there is no

compelling public need to codify all of

the information currently found in the

regulatory text of State program

amendment approvals. Although the

topical outline of an approved

amendment may be a convenient

reference for members of the public who

want to begin their research of

particular provisions of that program

amendment, OSM believes that the

public would still find it necessary to

refer back to the final rule’s Federal

Register notice for a thorough preamble

discussion of those provisions. As

before, those people who would like

copies of the full text of the State

program amendment may contact the

State regulatory authority office or the

OSM field office with oversight

authority for that State.

How do I Get a Copy of State Program

Amendments?

Copies of approved State program

amendments may be obtained by

contacting the State regulatory authority

or the local OSM field office with

oversight authority for that State.

Addresses for these offices are found in

parts 900 through 950 of the CFR with

their respective State programs.

III. Procedural Matters

Federal Paperwork Reduction Act

This rule does not contain collections

of information which require approval

by the Office of Management and

Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Department of the Interior

certifies that this revision would 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.)

National Environmental Policy Act

This rule has been reviewed by OSM

and it has been determined to be

categorically excluded from the

National Environmental Policy Act

(NEPA) process in accordance with the

Departmental Manual 516 DM 6,

Appendix 8.4.A.(2).

Executive Order 12866

This rule is not significant under

Executive Order 12866 and does not

require review by the Office of

Management and Budget.

Executive Order 12778

This proposed rule has been reviewed

under the applicable standards of

Section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order

12778, Civil Justice Reform (56 FR

55195). In general, the requirements of

Section 2(b)(2) of Executive Order 12778

are covered by the preamble discussion

of this proposed rule. Additional

remarks follow concerning individual

elements of the Executive Order:

A. What is the preemptive effect, if

any, to be given to the regulation?

The proposed rule would have no

preemptive effect.

B. What is the effect on existing

Federal law or regulation, if any,

including all provisions repealed or

modified?

This rule does not modify the

implementation of SMCRA, nor does it

modify the implementation of any other

Federal statute. The preceding

discussion of this rule specifies the

Federal regulatory provisions that are

affected by this rule.

C. Does the rule provide a clear and

certain legal standard for affected

conduct rather than a general standard,

while promoting simplification and

burden reduction?

The standards established by this rule

are as clear and certain as practicable,

given the complexity of the topics

covered and the mandates of SMCRA.

D. What is the retroactive effect, if

any, to be given to the regulation?

This rule is not intended to have

retroactive effect.

E. Are administrative proceedings

required before parties may file suit in

court? Which proceedings apply? Is the

exhaustion of administrative remedies

required?

No administrative proceedings are

required before parties may file suit in

court challenging the provisions of this

rule under section 526(a) of SMCRA, 30

U.S.C. 1276(a).

Prior to any judicial challenge to the

application of the rule, however,

administrative procedures must be

exhausted. In situations involving OSM

application of the rule, applicable

administrative procedures may be found

at 43 CFR Part 4. In situations involving

State regulatory authority application of

provisions equivalent to those contained

in this rule, applicable administrative

procedures are set forth in the particular

State program.

F. Does the rule define key terms,

either explicitly or by reference to other

regulations or statutes that explicitly

define those items?

Terms which are important to the

understanding of this rule are set forth

in 30 CFR 700.5 and 701.5.

G. Does the rule address other

important issues affecting clarity and

general draftsmanship of regulations set

forth by the Attorney General, with the

concurrence of the Director of the Office

of Management and Budget, that are

determined to be in accordance with the

purposes of the Executive Order?

As of the date of publication, the

Attorney General and the Director of the
20770 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 90 / Wednesday, May 8, 1996 / Proposed Rules

Office of Management and Budget have

not issued any guidance on this

requirement.
