ACTION: Notice of removal of Kentucky from the List of Affected States. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (the Act) (Pub. L. 102–486) requires that the Secretary of the Interior administer a Federal program to regulate coalbed methane development in states where coalbed methane development has been impeded by disputes or uncertainty over ownership of coalbed methane gas. As required by the Act, the Department of the Interior, with the participation of the Department of Energy, developed a List of Affected States to which this program would apply (58 FR 21589, April 22, 1993). Section 1339 of the Act provides three mechanisms by which a state may be removed from the List of Affected States. The List of Affected States is currently comprised of the States of Kentucky and Tennessee. Section 387 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 109–58) provided a sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:06 May 15, 2006 Jkt 208001 three-year period for state action to seek removal from the List of Affected States, including action taken prior to enactment of that Act (August 8, 2005). In 2004, the Kentucky General Assembly passed and the Governor signed a coalbed methane law, codified as Chapter 349 of Kentucky Revised Statutes. The law created a state authority and procedures to facilitate coalbed methane development. It further explicitly sought, in subsection 349.005(4)(e), deletion of Kentucky from the List of Affected States. We find that this Kentucky statute fulfills two of the Act’s Section 1339 removal standards: (a) A law requesting removal and (b) a law permitting and encouraging the development of coalbed methane. Therefore, the State of Kentucky is officially removed from the List of Affected States. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Timothy R.

Background

    On February 16, 2006, in anticipation of possible removal 
(delisting) of the bald eagle in the 48 contiguous States from the List 
of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife under the Endangered Species Act 
(ESA) (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.), the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the 
Service) published a Notice of Availability of draft National Bald 
Eagle Management Guidelines (71 FR 8309). The Service concurrently 
proposed two other related actions: (1) a proposed regulatory 
definition of ``disturb'' under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection 
Act (BGEPA) (71 FR 8265, February 16, 2006); and (2) a re-opening of 
the comment period on our proposal to remove the bald eagle from the 
list of threatened and endangered species under the ESA (71 FR 8238, 
February 16, 2006). Due to the complexity of these related actions, we 
are extending the comment period for each action for an additional 30 
days.

    Dated: May 10, 2006.
