SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 26, 1994 (59 FR 53884), OSM 
published a proposed rule which would require the regulatory authority 
to 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.

close on December 27, 1994, was extended until February 27, 1995 (59 FR
