SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
A. Background
The Administrative Procedure Act, as
amended by the Freedom of Information
Act, requires publication of certain
policies and procedures and other
information concerning the Department
of the Army in the Federal Register. The
policies and procedures covered by this
part fall into that category. The Army
has changed the publications and
policies, thus requiring the rules in the
Federal Register to be updated.

The Department of the Army has
determined that the Regulatory
Flexibility Act does not apply because
the proposed rule does not have a

private sector, of $100 million or more.

Public Notification and Request for
Comments
The Department is making every effort
to ensure that all interested parties,
including mineral operators, mineralsrelated organizations and associations,
are informed of the availability of the
proposed rule. To ensure the widest
distribution, the proposed rule will be
distributed by paper copy mailings,
e-mail notices, posting on the Forest
Service Minerals and Geology
Management Staff internet web site, as
well as published notices in local
newspapers. Copies of the proposed rule
also will be provided to the appropriate
Congressional committee members.
Background and Need for Proposed
Rule
The Forest Service uses two
enforcement options, civil and criminal,
to enforce its mining regulations at 36
CFR part 228, subpart A. Criminal
enforcement (36 CFR part 261) is often
used in situations that are factually
uncomplicated and where immediate
action is needed, or other resolutions
have failed.
In 1984, a Federal district judge ruled
that the prohibitions at 36 CFR 261.10
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4702
Sfmt 4702
did not apply to mineral operations. As
a result, the Forest Service amended
§§ 261.10(a) and 261.10(l) to directly tie
the wording to locatable mineral
operations by adding ‘‘or approved
operating plan’’ to both of these
paragraphs. Unfortunately, the wording
was not added to §§ 261.10(b) and
261.10(k), and that omission makes
these paragraphs less clearly applicable
to mineral operations.
Two recent court decisions have
prompted the Forest Service to amend
the prohibitions at 36 CFR 261.10. In
California, the Forest Service cited a
suction dredge operator under the
criminal regulations at 36 CFR 261.10(k)
for use or occupancy without a special
use permit authorization. The magistrate
court judge dismissed the charge in U.S.
v. McClure, 364 F. Supp. 2d 1183
(E.D.Cal., 2005), and cited in support of
the ruling another recent California
Eastern District Court decision, U.S. v.
Lex, 300 F. Supp. 2d 951 (E.D.Cal.,
2003). In summary, these decisions
found that special-use authorizations
and the application of 36 CFR 261.10(b)
and 261.10(k) do not apply to mineral
operations.
As a result of the McClure and Lex
court decisions, it is advisable to again
amend certain paragraphs in 36 CFR
261.10 to clearly tie them to locatable
mineral operations and other mineral
operations. The Regions dealing with
suction dredge operators are particularly
concerned about the effects of the two
adverse ruling on their use of provisions
in 261.
Clarification for Issuing a Criminal
Citation for Unauthorized Occupancy
and Use of National Forest System
Lands and Facilities by Mineral
Operators
The technical amendments to 36 CFR
part 261 clarify that a criminal citation
can be issued for unauthorized
occupancy and use of National Forest
System lands and facilities by mineral
operators when such authorization is
required. The technical amendments to
36 CFR part 261 also clarify what
constitutes residential occupancy as
well as show there is a clear distinction
between a special-use authorization and
an operating plan.
Exemption From Notice and Comment
Comments received on this proposed
rule will be considered in adoption of
a final rule, notice of which will be
published in the Federal Register. The
final rule will include a response to
comments received and identify any
revisions made to the rule as a result of
the comments.
