State Program Amendments

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, Interior.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM)

is amending 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 is being condensed to a three-column

tabular presentation providing the dates when State program amendments

were originally submitted to OSM, the dates the OSM Director's decision

approving all or portions of these amendments were published in the

Federal Register, and the State citations affected by the amendments.

This rulemaking will reduce the number of unnecessary pages in the CFR

and make it a more useful document. As always, people interested in

getting copies of the full text of the amended State regulatory program

or abandoned mine land reclamation plan can contact the State

regulatory authority office or the OSM field office with oversight

authority for that State.

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 4, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John A. Trelease, Division of

Regulatory Support, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and

Enforcement, 1951 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room 210 SIB, Washington, DC

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

II. Discussion of Final Rule and Responses to Comments

III. Procedural Matters

I. Background

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 contained

topical headings describing the amendments in a variety of forms, the

associated program citations, the dates the amendments were submitted

to OSM, and the dates the amendments became effective. The proposed

rules published on May 8 and May 28, 1996, (61 FR 20768 and 61 FR

26477, respectively), would have limited the regulatory text to a two-

column tabular presentation of the dates that the State program

amendments were submitted to OSM 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, 920, 925, 926, 931, 934, 935, 936, 938, 943, 944, 946,

948 and 950.

This final rulemaking adds a third column to each table providing

the State program citations affected by each program amendment. Where

no citation is available or appropriate, a brief description is

provided.

II. Discussion of Final Rule and Responses to Comments

Three commenters responded to the proposed rules, a citizens group

and two trade associations. While neither association opposed the

proposed goal of making the CFR a more readable document, they however

argued that the rule should not be construed as being responsive to the

regulatory reform required by the President's Regulatory Reform

Initiative. While the formatting and informational changes promulgated

by this rule may not meet all of the objectives of the Initiative, OSM

believes that these changes are well within the discretion exercised by

the Secretary for the last 20 years as to the nature of information

published in the Federal Register and codified in the CFR documenting

approval or approval in part of State program amendments.

One of the associations referenced its comments submitted in

opposition to another earlier OSM rulemaking which had proposed

deleting the whole text of State-Federal Cooperative Agreements from

the CFR. (April 4, 1996, 61 FR 15005). OSM considers such comments to

be inapplicable to the instant rule which provides as high or higher a

level of meaningful State program amendment information as that

provided under the prior rules.

[[Page 9933]]

Both associations and the citizens group contended that the

proposed two-column format would not be useful to people researching

the status of amendments, and would reduce the information currently

available to the public. One of the associations suggested as a

solution that a third column be added which would list the State

citations affected by each amendment. In this way, the commenter

believed that OSM would achieve the reform efforts of the proposed

tabular format while maintaining its usefulness to people researching

the status of State program amendments.

OSM accepts this last suggestion. In the final rule a third column

has been added to each table labeled ``Citation/Description.'' This

column provides State citations or a brief description of the topic

being affected by the State program amendment.

With the addition of the third column, the only category of

information included in the prior State program amendment rules which

is not being carried forward into the current rulemaking is the topical

headings attributed to amended State program provisions. It is

noteworthy that many of the early State program amendment rules did not

include this type of topical information.

While some parties may have found the topical headings of the prior

rules a convenient place to have begun research of a particular State

program amendment provision, the topical headings most often supplied

little useful guidance as to the actual nature or purpose of the

amended provision. This was because the majority of amendments affect

only a small portion of their topical headings. For example, the

Illinois State program amendment submitted to OSM on July 26, 1990, and

which became effective on May 6, 1991, listed four paragraphs of

Sec. 1778.13 as being amended: Sec. 1778.13 (b), (c)(5), (i), and (j),

but attributed to each paragraph the broader section heading of

``Permit Applications; Identification of Interests.'' If a person was

interested in the current requirements for the submission of

information under Sec. 1778.13, that person would have no indication

from the prior rules'' topical headings that such requirements were

amended at Sec. 1778.13(j). Under the final rule, as under the prior

rules, people interested in researching a particular State program

provision must continue to refer to an updated copy of that program to

determine the precise language of the provision.

OSM anticipates that the public will find that elimination of the

prior rules' topical headings allows for a more concise, readable

format without a material lessening of the information needed for

researching a particular program provision.

During the process of preparing the Citation/Description column,

OSM found numerous instances where the State program citations listed

in the CFR were either incomplete or incorrect. Pursuant to the

discretion the Secretary has historically exercised as to the nature of

State program amendment information published in the Federal Register

and codified in the CFR, OSM has taken the opportunity in the final

rule to correct all errors found and to include the complete State

citations approved by the Director where possible.

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

No environmental impact statement is required for this rule since

section 702(d) of SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1292(d)) provides that agency

decisions on State regulatory program provisions do not constitute

major Federal actions within the meaning of section 102(2)(C) of the

National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)).

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 12988

The Department of the Interior has conducted the reviews required

by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 (Civil Justice Reform) and has

determined that, to the extent allowed by law, this rule meets

applicable standards of subsections (a) and (b) of that section.

However, these standards are not applicable to the actual language of

State regulatory programs and program amendments since each such

program is drafted and promulgated by a specific State, not by OSM.

Under sections 503 and 505 of SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1253 and 1255) and 30

CFR 730.11, 732.15 and 732.17(h)(10), decisions on State regulatory

programs and program amendments submitted by the States must be based

solely on a determination of whether the submittal is consistent with

SMCRA and its implementing Federal regulations and whether the other

requirements of 30 CFR parts 730, 731 and 732 have been met.

List of Subjects in 30 CFR Parts 901, 902, 904, 906, 913, 914, 915,
