Procedures; Visitor Services

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Correcting amendments.

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

SUMMARY: This document corrects the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) 
final rule on mineral materials disposal that was published November 
23, 2001 (66 FR 58892), by adding changes in several cross references 
to the regulations on mineral materials disposal that appear elsewhere 
in BLM regulations. These cross-reference amendments should have 
appeared in the original final rule. This document also corrects 
typographical and editorial errors in the 2001 final rule.

EFFECTIVE DATE: January 22, 2002.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Durga N. Rimal, Solid Minerals 
Group, at (202) 452-0350. Persons who use a telecommunications device 
for the deaf (TDD) may call the Federal Information Relay Service 
(FIRS) at 1-800-877-8339, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The final rule published on November 23, 
2001 (66 FR 58892-58910), removed part 3610 and subpart 3621 as part of 
its reorganization of the regulations on mineral materials disposal in 
43 CFR part 3600, and made a conforming amendment in 43 CFR subpart 
3809. The final rule should have amended the cross-references to part 
3610 that appear in 43 CFR sections 8224.1 and 8365.1-5, and a cross-
reference to subpart 3621 that appears in section 8365.1-5. Because the 
substance of the removed CFR units appears in other sections of revised 
part 3600, the cross-references should have been amended and not 
removed. These erroneous cross-references in the Code of Federal 
Regulations may prove to be misleading and need to be corrected. This 
document corrects this oversight.
    We are also correcting editorial and typing errors in part 3600. In 
section 3601.51, which describes when BLM may inspect your mineral 
materials operation, we are correcting a conjunction from ``and'' to 
``or'' in order to forestall a possible interpretation of the provision 
to require a BLM inspector planning to inspect, for example, mine 
conditions also to conduct unnecessary surveys and examine weight 
tickets, which was not our intent in preparing the final rule. Also, in 
section 3602.12(c), we are correcting the term ``public lands laws'' to 
read ``public land laws'', the term as used in all other BLM 
regulations.
    Finally, we are correcting a printing error in a CFR authority 
citation. The citation for the Land and Water Conservation Fund Act is 
16 U.S.C. 460l-6a, which contains the italic letter ``ell'' in the 
section number. This appears in the authority citation for part 8360 as 
the numeral ``one'', an error that this document corrects.

    Dated: October 29, 2002.
Michael H. Schwartz,
Group Manager, Regulatory Affairs.

    For these reasons, make the following correcting amendments in 43
