SUMMARY: OSM is announcing the withdrawal of a proposed amendment to

The proposed amendment pertained to revisions to the Indiana 
Administrative Code (IAC) regulations pertaining to procedural rules

procedural rules by the Indiana Natural Resources Commission, Division 
of Hearings.

program pursuant to SMCRA. The amendment concerned revisions to 310 IAC

the proposed amendment at its own initiative.
    On May 30, 1995, OSM announced receipt of and solicited public 
comment on the proposed amendment in the Federal Register (60 FR

    On March 12, 1996 (Administrative Record No. IND-1534), Indiana 
requested that the proposed amendment be withdrawn. Indiana intends to
