30 CFR Parts 218, 250, and 256

RIN 1010-AC32


Postlease Operations Safety

AGENCY: Minerals Management Service (MMS), Interior.

ACTION: Extension of comment period for proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: This notice extends to July 17, 1998, the deadline for 
submitting comments on the proposed rule on Postlease Operations 
Safety.

DATES: We will consider all comments received by July 17, 1998, and we 
may not fully consider comments received after July 17, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Mail or hand-carry written comments (three copies) to the 
Department of the Interior; Minerals Management Service; 381 Elden 
Street; Mail Stop 4024; Herndon, Virginia 20170-4817; Attention: Rules 
Processing Team.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Kumkum Ray, Engineering and Operations Division, at (703) 787-1600.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: MMS was asked to extend the deadline for 
submitting comments on the proposed Postlease Operations Safety rule 
published on February 13, 1998 (63 FR 7335) and the correction to the 
proposed rule published on March 9, 1998 (63 FR 11385). The request 
explains that the proposed rule has a number of important changes that 
require careful consideration for comprehensive comments. Because the 
proposed rule was rewritten in ``plain English'' and sections, 
paragraphs, and sentences do not have the same order and numbering 
sequence as the current regulations in 30 CFR part 250, subpart A, 
additional time was requested to sort out the proposed rule for 
comparison.

    Dated: May 1, 1998.
E. P. Danenberger,
Chief, Engineering and Operations Division.
