30 CFR Part 906

[SPATS No. CO-029-FOR]


Colorado Regulatory Program

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

ACTION: Final rule; correction.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, the office of Surface Mining Reclamation and 
Enforcement (OSM) is correcting its discussion and approval of a 
proposed amendment to the Colorado regulatory program under the Surface 
Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). OSM's correction 
pertains to Colorado's intent to withdraw from a proposed amendment 
consideration of proposed rules pertaining to Colorado's show cause 
orders and patterns of violations involving violations of water quality 
effluent standards.

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 24, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
 James F. Fulton, Telephone: (303) 672-5524.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 19, 1996 (administrative record 
No. CO-675-9), Colorado submitted revisions to a November 20, 1995, 
formally-proposed amendment to its approved program (administrative 
record No. CO-675). In the February 19, 1996, submittal, Colorado 
indicated that the State-initiated proposed revisions to Rules 
5.03.3(1) and (2), pertaining to show cause orders and patterns of 
violations involving violations of water quality effluent standards, 
had been deleted from the proposed amendment and intended that OSM 
withdraw the revisions proposed at Rules 5.03.3(1) and (2) from 
consideration during its review of the amendment package. In the 
preamble of the May 29, 1996, Federal Register notice (61 FR 26792, 
administrative record No. CO-675-16) approving Colorado's proposed 
amendment, OSM inadvertently discussed and approved Rules 5.03.3(1) and 
(2) as they had been proposed in the original November 20, 1995, 
submittal.
    The purpose of this document is to notify the public that 
Colorado's November 20, 1995, proposed revisions to Rules 5.03.3(1) and 
(2), had been withdrawn by Colorado on February 19, 1996. Accordingly, 
OSM's May 29, 1996, Federal Register (Vol. 61, No. 104, pages 26792 
through 26801) preamble discussion (finding No. 16.b, page 26798, third 
column, last paragraph) and approval (Director's decision, page 26801, 
first column, eleventh paragraph) of revisions to proposed Rules 
5.03.3(1) and (2) should be disregarded.

    Dated: June 13, 1996.
