SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSM published a proposed rule on November 8,
1993 (58 FR 59334), that would revise the Abandoned Mine Lands (AML)
regulations in 30 CFR chapter VII, subchapter R to ensure that they
will be consistent with agency practice and all past amendments to
Title IV of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act. The
specific changes proposed to the AML rules are set forth in the
November 8, 1993, Federal Register notice.
The comment period for the proposed rule was scheduled to close on
January 7, 1994. However, an extension of the comment period was
requested in order to provide more time in which to comment on the
proposed rule. Therefore, OSM is extending the comment period. Comments
will now be accepted until 5 p.m. local time on March 8, 1994.

Dated: December 29, 1993.
Brent Wahlquist,
Assistant Director, Reclamation and Regulatory Policy.
