30 CFR Part 950

[WY-031-FOR Rule Package 1J]


Wyoming Regulatory Program

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

ACTION: Final rule; approval of amendment.

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

SUMMARY: We are approving a proposed amendment to the Wyoming 
regulatory program (the ``Wyoming program'') under the Surface Mining 
Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). Wyoming 
proposed revisions to its coal rules about roads, mine facilities, and 
excess spoil. Wyoming intends to revise its program to be consistent 
with the corresponding Federal regulations and clarify ambiguities.

EFFECTIVE DATE: November 5, 2003.

I. Background on the Wyoming Program

    Section 503(a) of the Act permits a State to assume primacy for the 
regulation of surface coal mining and

[[Page 62520]]

reclamation operations on non-Federal and non-Indian lands within its 
borders by demonstrating that its State program includes, among other 
things, ``a State law which provides for the regulation of surface coal 
mining and reclamation operations in accordance with the requirements 
of this Act * * *; and rules and regulations consistent with 
regulations issued by the Secretary pursuant to this Act.'' See 30 
U.S.C. 1253(a)(1) and (7). On the basis of these criteria, the 
Secretary of the Interior conditionally approved the Wyoming program on 
November 26, 1980. You can find background information on the Wyoming 
program, including the Secretary's findings, the disposition of 
comments, and conditions of approval in the November 26, 1980, Federal 
Register (45 FR 78637). You can also find later actions concerning 
Wyoming's program and program amendments at 30 CFR 950.12, 950.15, 
950.16, and 950.20.

II. Submission of the Proposed Amendment

    By letter dated November 28, 2002, Wyoming sent us an amendment to 
its program (Wyoming Rule Package 1J, Administrative Record No. WY-36-
1) under SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.). Wyoming sent the amendment in 
response to 30 CFR part 732 letters of February 21, 1990, and October 
3, 1990 (Administrative Record Nos. WY-36-6 and WY-36-7), that we sent 
to Wyoming, and to include changes it made at its own initiative.
    We announced receipt of the proposed amendment in the March 4, 
2003, Federal Register (volume 68 FR No. 42, page 10193). In the same 
document, we opened the public comment period and provided an 
opportunity for a public hearing or meeting on the amendment's adequacy 
(Administrative Record No. WY-36-8). We did not receive any comments.

III. OSM's Findings

    Following are the findings we made concerning the amendment under 
SMCRA and the Federal regulations.

A. Minor Revisions to Wyoming's Rules

    Wyoming proposed minor wording, editorial, punctuation, 
grammatical, and recodification changes to the following previously-
approved rules.
    Wyoming Coal Rules Chapter 1, Section 2(a), 2(b), Definitions.
    These State-initiated revisions are necessary to maintain 
consistent use of the term ``mine facilities.''
    Because these changes are minor, we find that they will not make 
Wyoming's rules less effective than the corresponding Federal 
regulations.

B. Revisions to Wyoming's Rules That Have the Same Meaning as the 
Corresponding Provisions of the Federal Regulations

    Wyoming proposed revisions to the following rules containing 
language that is the same as or similar to the corresponding sections 
of the Federal regulations:
    1. Chapter 1, Section 2(ah), Definition of Existing Structure.
    2. Chapter 1, Section 2(bu), Definition of Public Road.
    3. Chapter 1, Section 2(bz), Definition of Road.
    4. Chapter 2, Section 2(a)(v), 2(a)(v)(I)(1), 2(b)(iii) and 
2(b)(xxi), Mine Safety and Health Administration Identification Number. 

    5. Chapter 2, Section 2(b)(xix), Road Systems.
    6. Chapter 4, Section 2(c)(i)(A), Topsoil Removal Exemption.
    7. Chapter 4, Section 2(j), Roads.
    8. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(ii), Roads: General Performance 
Standards.
    9. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii), Roads-Design and Construction.
    10. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii)(B), Primary Road-Fords.
    11. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii)(C)(I), Primary Road-Drainage 
Control.
    12. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii)(C)(I), Primary Road-Haul and 
Access Roads.
    13. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii)(C)(II), Primary Road-Drainage 
Pipes and Culverts.
    14. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii)(C)(III), Primary Road-Culverts.
    15. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii)(C)(V), Ditches.
    16. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(vii), Primary Road-Surface Water 
Runoff.
    17. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(viii); Exemptions Concerning Roads.
    18. Chapter 4, Section 2(m); Removal and Reclamation of Mine 
Facilities.
    19. Chapter 4, Section 2(n)(ii)(B)(2); minimizes additional 
contributions of suspended solids to streamflow outside of the permit 
area.
    20. Chapter 4, Section 2(x); Utility Installation.
    21. Chapter 12, Section 1(a)(v), Permitting Procedures.
    22. Chapter 18, Section 3(c)(xvii), Section 3(d)(vi)(A), 3(d)(x), 
Permit Applications.
    Because these proposed rules contain language that is the same as 
or similar to the corresponding Federal regulations, we find that they 
are no less effective than the corresponding Federal regulations.

C. Revisions to Rules That Are Not the Same as the Corresponding 
Provisions of the Federal Regulation

    1. Chapter 2, Section 2(a) and (b), Contents of an application for 
a surface coal mining permit (Chapter 2, Section 2(b)(iv)(G). In its 
October 3, 1990, letter (follow up to its 30 CFR part 732 letter), OSM 
told Wyoming in E-2 that to be no less effective than the Federal 
rules, Wyoming's coal rules must require maps and cross sections for 
all roads, not just those deemed appropriate. Consequently, Wyoming 
proposes in this amendment to repeal Chapter 2, Section 
2(b)(iv)(G)(item 5.a) and adopt Chapter 2, Section (b)(xix) to 
effectuate this change.
    In addition, the Wyoming rule currently found at Chapter 2, Section 
2(b)(iv)(G)(I) is proposed for recodification as Chapter 2, Section 
2(a)(i)(E) because it is more appropriate for this requirement 
regarding legal ownership to be under subsection (a) rather than (b).
    Finally, with the repeal of subsection 2(b)(iv)(G), the rule that 
follows it as (H) must be renumbered as (G) to coincide with the 
numbering within this subsection. Moreover, the term ``buildings and 
structures'' is proposed to be repealed and replaced with ``mine 
facilities'' to maintain consistent use of the term ``mine 
facilities.'' These changes are no less effective than the Federal 
regulations.
    2. Chapter 2, Section 2(b)(i)(D)(V), Operation Plan: Maps and 
Plans. The original Wyoming rule was not as detailed as its Federal 
counterpart regulations and was therefore disapproved by the OSM in a 
February 21, 1990, 30 CFR part 732 letter (Item E-4) to Wyoming. The 
proposed revised State rule is very similar to its Federal counterpart 
regulation at 30 CFR 780.14 and therefore is as effective as it.
    3. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iv), Roads-Location. This rule change is 
simply to include the citations to the specific State hydrologic 
requirements as required by OSM's October 3, 1990, 30 CFR part 732 
letter to Wyoming. Inclusion of the citations make the State rule no 
less effective than the Federal regulations.
    4. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii)(D), Primary Road. This rule change 
makes the State rule almost identical to its Federal counterpart which 
makes it no less effective than the Federal regulations.
    5. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(v), Road Maintenance and Repair. In 
order to be consistent with the Federal rules regarding road 
maintenance, Wyoming is proposing to revise its current Chapter 4 rules 
to read, ``A road shall be maintained to meet the performance standards 
of this Chapter.'' This does not include the Federal counterpart phrase 
at 30 CFR 816.150(e)(1), ``and any additional criteria specified by the

[[Page 62521]]

regulatory authority'' because OSM did not require it. The rule is 
therefore no less effective than the Federal regulations.
    6. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(vi), Road Reclamation. In the February 
21, 1990, 30 CFR part 732 letter (Item E-8) that OSM sent to Wyoming, 
OSM indicated that the State must adopt the Federal minimum standards 
for road reclamation. Consequently, Wyoming is proposing to adopt the 
counterpart Federal rules. However, the proposed adoption at Chapter 4, 
Section 2(j)(vi)(B) provides an alternative to operators regarding 
culverts in roadways that are being reclaimed. Rather than having to 
remove a culvert if it is not an approved part of the postmining land 
use, the operator can approach the Administrator about leaving the 
culvert buried in place for perpetuity. If an operator chooses this 
alternative, the operator will be required to provide a plan which will 
guarantee that there will not be any subsidence associated with the 
culvert in the future and that the culvert will be buried at a 
sufficient depth to prevent erosion (wash out) of the culvert. Offering 
operators a reasonable alternative to removing culverts in roadways, 
Wyoming's rule is no less effective that its Federal counterpart.
    The proposed adoption at Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(vi)(F) also 
mentions subsoil because Wyoming Coal Rules contain specific provisions 
regarding subsoil handling, which are not mentioned in the Federal 
counterpart rule. The proposed rule is therefore no less effective than 
the Federal regulations since it regulates more than the Federal 
provisions.
    7. Chapter 4, Section 2(c)(xi)(F), Temporary Overburden and Spoil 
Piles. This rule is proposed for adoption to make it clear that 
temporary overburden or spoil piles also warrant the use of prudent 
location, design and construction practices in order to ensure the 
safety and stability of these temporary piles. OSM has determined that 
the proposed State rule does not conflict with the backfilling and 
grading requirements of 30 CFR 816.102. The proposed rule requires the 
use of prudent engineering practices to ensure safety and stability of 
any temporary stockpiles. Once mining is complete, material would be 
returned to the mined area and be subject to the general backfilling 
and grading or excess spoil disposal rules. The proposed rule is not 
inconsistent with the intent of SMCRA and is no less effective than the 
Federal regulations.
    8. Chapter 4, Section 2(c)(xi)(G), Excess Spoil. This revision 
simply makes some minor word changes as well as reorganizes the 
existing excess spoil rules which had been previously approved by OSM. 
Therefore, the revision is no less effective than the Federal rules.
    9. Appendix A, Appendix IV, List of Threatened and Endangered Plant 
Species. On its own initiative, Wyoming had attempted to keep this 
list, prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), up to date 
in this appendix. However, because this involved rulemaking and was a 
lengthy process, Wyoming attempted to simply refer the reader to the 
FWS office. This turned out to be in conflict with Wyoming Statute 16-
3-103(h) and is therefore now proposed for removal. Since having the 
list in an appendix was a State initiative, removing it is does not 
affect the effectiveness of Wyoming's rules.
    10. Chapter 5, Section 7(a)(ii), Remining. OSM asked Wyoming's Land 
Quality Division, in a March 31, 1986, Federal Register notice (51 FR 
10827) to remove some language in Wyoming's rules that was less 
effective than the Federal counterpart regulations. The language in 
question was submitted to OSM on March 31, 1989, and was approved by 
OSM for removal in the July 25, 1990, Federal Register notice (55 
FR30221). It is therefore acceptable to remove it from Wyoming's master 
list of outstanding disapprovals.

D. Revisions to Wyoming's Coal Rules With No Corresponding Federal 
Regulations

    1. Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(i)(A), Roads. Wyoming proposed this rule 
for repeal because it was cited by OSM in the November 26, 1986, 
Federal Register as being less effective than the Federal regulations. 
The Federal definition of ``surface coal mining activities'' includes 
all lands affected by the construction of new roads or use of existing 
roads to gain access to the site, not just those that are constructed 
or upgraded (which is what the current State rule says). In addition, 
Federal rules do not limit the inclusion of a road or railroad as being 
part of a permit area if they provide exclusive service to a particular 
operator (which is also what the current State rule says).
    This current language is no longer necessary in the State rules 
with the adoption of the Federal definition of roads (which makes it 
clear that any ``surface corridor of affected land associated with 
travel by a land vehicle used * * *'' is considered a road. There is no 
distinction as to whether the road has been constructed or upgraded. If 
it is being used, it is considered to be part of a ``surface coal 
mining operation.''
    Eliminating this State rule will make Wyoming's rule consistent 
with its Federal counterpart.

IV. Summary and Disposition of Comments

Public Comments

    We asked for public comments on the amendment (Administrative 
Record No. WY-36-5), but did not receive any.

Federal Agency Comments

    Under 30 CFR 732.17(h)(11)(i) and section 503(b) of SMCRA, we 
requested comments on the amendment from various Federal agencies with 
an actual or potential interest in the Wyoming program (Administrative 
Record No. WY-36-5). No comments were received.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Concurrence and Comments

    Under 30 CFR 732.17(h)(11)(i) and (ii), we are required to get 
concurrence from EPA for those provisions of the program amendment that 
relate to air or water quality standards issued under the authority of 
the Clean Water Act (33 U.S.C. 1251 et seq.) or the Clean Air Act (42 
U.S.C. 7401 et seq.).
    Under 30 CFR 732.17(h)(11)(i), OSM requested comments on the 
amendment from EPA (Administrative Record No. WY-36-5). EPA did not 
respond to our request.

State Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the Advisory Council on 
Historic Preservation (ACHP)

    Under 30 CFR 732.17(h)(4), we are required to request comments from 
the ACHP and SHPO on amendments that may have an effect on historic 
properties. On December 10, 2002, we requested comments on Wyoming's 
amendment (Administrative Record No. WY-36-3 and 4), but neither 
responded to our request.

V. OSM's Decision

    Based on the above findings, we approve Wyoming's November 28, 
2002, amendment, as follows: Finding A, minor revisions to Wyoming's 
Coal Rules at Chapter 1, Section 2, 2(a), 2(b); Finding B, revisions to 
Wyoming's rules that have the same meaning as the corresponding 
provisions of the Federal regulations: finding B.1, Section 2(ah), 
definition of existing structure; finding B.2, Chapter 1, Section 
2(bu), definition of public road; finding B.3, Chapter 1, Section 
2(bz), definition of road; finding B.4, Chapter 2, Section 2(a)(v), 
2(a)(v)(I)(1), 2(b)(iii), and 2(b)(xxi), Mine Safety and Health 
Administration identification number; finding B.5, Chapter 2, Section 
2(b)(xix), road systems; finding B.6, Chapter 4, Section

[[Page 62522]]

2(c)(i)(A), topsoil removal exemption; finding B.7, Chapter 4, Section 
2(j), roads; finding B.8, Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(ii), roads: general 
performance standards; finding B.9, Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii), 
roads-design and construction; finding B.10, Chapter 4, Section 
2(j)(iii)(B), primary road-Fords; finding B.11, Chapter 4, Section 
2(j)(iii)(C)(I), primary road-drainage control; finding B.12, Chapter 
4, Section 2(j)(iii)(C)(I), primary road-haul and access roads; finding 
B.13, Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii)(C)(II), primary road-drainage pipes 
and culverts; finding B.14, Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii)(C)(V), 
drainage ditches; finding B.15, Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iii)(C)(III), 
primary road-culverts; finding B.16, Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(vii), 
primary road-surface water runoff; finding B.17, Chapter 4, Section 
2(j)(viii), exemptions concerning roads; finding B.18, Chapter 4, 
Section 2(m), removal and reclamation of mine facilities; finding B.19, 
Chapter 4, Section 2(n)(ii)(B)(2), minimizes additional contributions 
of suspended solids to streamflow outside of the permit area; finding 
B.20, Chapter 4, Section 2(x), utility installation; finding B.21, 
Chapter 12, Section 1(a)(v), permitting procedures; finding B.22, 
Chapter 18, Section 3(c)(xvii), Section 3(d)(vi)(A), Section 3(d)(x), 
permit applications; Finding C, revisions to rules that are not the 
same as the corresponding provisions of the Federal Regulations: 
finding C.1, Section 2(a) and (b), contents of an application for a 
surface coal mining permit (Chapter 2, Section 2(b)(iv)(G)); finding 
C.2, Chapter 2, Section 2(b)(i)(D)(v), Operation Plan: Maps and Plans; 
finding C.3, Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(iv), Roads-location; finding C.4, 
2(j)(iii)(D), Primary Road; finding C.5, Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(v), 
road maintenance and repair; finding C.6, Chapter 4, Section 2(j)(vi), 
road reclamation; finding C.7, Chapter 4, Section 2(xi)(F), temporary

2(c)(xi)(G), excess spoil; finding C.9, Appendix A, Appendix IV, list 
of Threatened and Endangered Plant Species; finding C.10, Chapter 5, 
Section 7(a)(ii), remining; finding D, revisions to Wyoming's Coal 
Rules with no corresponding Federal Regulations: finding D.1, Chapter 
4, Section 2(j)(i)(A), roads.
    We approve the rules as proposed by Wyoming with the provision that 
they be fully promulgated in identical form to the rules submitted to 
and reviewed by OSM and the public.
    To implement this decision, we are amending the Federal regulations 
at 30 CFR Part 950, which codify decisions concerning the Wyoming 
program. We find that good cause exists under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) to 
make this final rule effective immediately. Section 503(a) of SMCRA 
requires that the State's program demonstrates that the State has the 
capability of carrying out the provisions of the Act and meeting its 
purposes. Making this regulation effective immediately will expedite 
that process. SMCRA requires consistency of State and Federal 
standards.

Effect of OSM's Decision

    Section 503 of SMCRA provides that a State may not exercise 
jurisdiction under SMCRA unless the State program is approved by the 
Secretary. Similarly, 30 CFR 732.17(a) requires that any change of an 
approved State program be submitted to OSM for review as a program 
amendment. The Federal regulations at 30 CFR 732.17(g) prohibit any 
changes to approved State programs that are not approved by OSM. In the 
oversight of the Wyoming program, we will recognize only the statutes, 
regulations and other materials we have approved, together with any 
consistent implementing policies, directives and other materials. We 
will require Wyoming to enforce only approved provisions.

VI. Procedural Determinations

Executive Order 12630--Takings

    This rule does not have takings implications. This determination is 
based on the analysis performed for the counterpart Federal regulation.

Executive Order 12866--Regulatory Planning and Review

    This rule is exempted from review by the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) under Executive Order 12866 (Regulatory Planning and 
Review).

Executive Order 12988--Civil Justice Reform

    The Department of the Interior has conducted the reviews required 
by section 3 of Executive Order 12988 and has determined that this rule 
meets the applicable standards of subsections (a) and (b) of that 
section. However, these standards are not applicable to the actual 
language of State regulatory programs and program amendments because 
each program is drafted and promulgated by a specific State, not by 
OSM. Under sections 503 and 505 of SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1253 and 1255) and 
the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 730.11, 732.15, and 732.17(h)(10), 
decisions on proposed State regulatory programs and program amendments 
submitted by the States must be based solely on a determination of 
whether the submittal is consistent with SMCRA and its implementing 
Federal regulations and whether the other requirements of 30 CFR parts 
730, 731, and 732 have been met.

Executive Order 13132--Federalism

    This rule does not have federalism implications. SMCRA delineates 
the roles of the Federal and State governments with regard to the 
regulation of surface coal mining and reclamation operations. One of 
the purposes of SMCRA is to ``establish a nationwide program to protect 
society and the environment from the adverse effects of surface coal 
mining operations.'' Section 503(a)(1) of SMCRA requires that State 
laws regulating surface coal mining and reclamation operations be ``in 
accordance with'' the requirements of SMCRA, and section 503(a)(7) 
requires that State programs contain rules and regulations ``consistent 
with'' regulations issued by the Secretary pursuant to SMCRA.

Executive Order 13175--Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal 
Governments

    In accordance with Executive Order 13175, we have evaluated the 
potential effects of this rule on Federally-recognized Indian tribes 
and have determined that the rule does not have substantial direct 
effects on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the 
Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power 
and responsibilities between the Federal government and Indian tribes. 
The rule does not involve or affect Indian tribes in any way.

Executive Order 13211--Regulations That Significantly Affect the 
Supply, Distribution, or Use of Energy

    On May 18, 2001, the President issued Executive Order 13211 which 
requires agencies to prepare a Statement of Energy Effects for a rule 
that is (1) considered significant under Executive Order 12866, and (2) 
likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, 
distribution, or use of energy. Because this rule is exempt from review 
under Executive Order 12866 and is not expected to have a significant 
adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy, a 
Statement of Energy Effects is not required.

National Environmental Policy Act

    This rule does not require an environmental impact statement 
because section 702(d) of SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1292(d)) provides that 
agency decisions on proposed State regulatory

[[Page 62523]]

program provisions do not constitute major Federal actions within the 
meaning of section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act 
(42 U.S.C. 4332(2)(C)).

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not contain information collection requirements that 
require approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 
3507 et seq.).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Department of the Interior certifies that this rule will not 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). 
The State submittal, which is the subject of this rule, is based upon 
counterpart Federal regulations for which an economic analysis was 
prepared and certification made that such regulations would not have a 
significant economic effect upon a substantial number of small 
entities. In making the determination as to whether this rule would 
have a significant economic impact, the Department relied upon the data 
and assumptions for the counterpart Federal regulations.

Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act

    This rule is not a major rule under 5 U.S.C. 804(2), the Small 
Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. This rule: a. Does not 
have an annual effect on the economy of $100 million; b. will not cause 
a major increase in costs or prices for consumers, individual 
industries, Federal, State, or local government agencies, or geographic 
regions; and c. does not have significant adverse effects on 
competition, employment, investment, productivity, innovation, or the 
ability of U.S. based enterprises to compete with foreign-based 
enterprises.
    This determination is based upon the fact that the State submittal 
which is the subject of this rule is based upon counterpart Federal 
regulations for which an analysis was prepared and a determination made 
that the Federal regulation was not considered a major rule.

Unfunded Mandates

    This rule will not impose an unfunded mandate on State, local, or 
tribal governments or the private sector of $100 million or more in any 
given year. This determination is based upon the fact that the State 
submittal, which is the subject of this rule, is based upon counterpart 
Federal regulations for which an analysis was prepared and a 
determination made that the Federal regulation did not impose an 
unfunded mandate.
