Notification and Permit Processing; Proposed Rule DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR

The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) proposes to 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 conducted solely upon such lands.
