Resumen

The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) of the United States Department of the Interior (DOI) seeks comments concerning the rule changes requested in a petition, submitted pursuant to the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). The petition requests OSM to amend its regulations governing the right-of-entry information (30 CFR 778.15) that must be submitted in a permit application to meet the minimum requirements for legal, financial, compliance, and related information. Comments will assist the Director of OSM in making the decision whether to grant or deny the petition.
