30 CFR Part 886

RIN 1029-AB72


Abandoned Mine Reclamation Grant Procedures

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations 
which were published Wednesday, February 22, 1995, (60 FR 9974). The 
regulations related to State grant closeout reports.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 6, 1995.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Norman J. Hess, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, 
U.S. Department of the Interior, 1951 Constitution Avenue NW., 
Washington, DC 20240; Telephone: 202-208-2949.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Both the preamble to the proposed rule 
published on November 8, 1993 (58 FR 59334), and the preamble to the 
final rule advised that a revised paragraph 886.23(b) would be added to 
Sec. 886.23 which would require, at the completion of a grant, agency 
submission of closeout reports as specified by OSM. Specifically, 
paragraph 886.23(b) required submission of Form OSM-76 upon project 
completion. This submission was deemed necessary to comply with the 
requirement in section 403(c) of the Surface Mining Control and 
Reclamation Act of 1977, Public Law 95-87, as amended, that on a 
regular basis OSM note on its inventory those projects completed under 
Title IV. However, paragraph 886.23(b) of the final rule language was 
inadvertently published without the reference to ``upon project 
completion.'' The purpose of this document is to reiterate the intent 
of the regulation which is that Form OSM-76 and any other closeout 
reports be filed upon project completion, and to correct paragraph 
886.23(b) to include the phrase ``upon project completion.''
    Accordingly, the publication on February 22, 1995, of the final 
regulations which were the subject of FR Doc. 95-4259, is corrected as 
follows:


Sec. 886.23  [Corrected]

    Paragraph 1. On page 9983, in the first column, in Sec. 886.23, 
paragraph (b), line one, the words ``At the completion of each grant'' 
is corrected to read ``Upon project completion.''

    Dated: May 30, 1995.
Bob Armstrong,
Assistant Secretary, Land and Minerals Management.
