ACTION: Public meeting; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On October 6, 1995 (60 FR 52412), the Office of Surface Mining 
Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM or we) of the U.S. Department of the 
Interior published a notice of a public meeting for developing its 
recommendations to the President for the FY 1997 budget. In that notice 
the dates scheduled for the public meeting were October 31 and November 
1, 1995. Due to the continuing resolution in effect, the uncertainty of 
OSM's budget, and the separation of approximately 30% of OSM's 
employees because of a reduction-in-force, this meeting is being 
postponed until November 28, 1995. We are still seeking written 
comments and will accept them until the dates of the meeting. In 
addition, we are requesting those of you who wish to provide oral 
comments, or who would like to serve as an active participant in the

notifying OMS by telephone (202) 208-7851; by FAX (202) 501-4734; or by

presentation would be appreciated.
