The interim rule provided an opportunity for public comment and gave the comment due date and tentative hearing date.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 29, 2011, we published an interim rule with request for comments at 76 FR 37996. The interim rule announced receipt of a proposed amendment to the West Virginia permanent regulatory program under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. On May 2, 2011, the WVDEP submitted a program amendment to OSM that included both statutory and regulatory revisions. West Virginia submitted proposed permit fee revisions to the Code of West Virginia as authorized by House Bill 2955 that passed during the State’s regular 2011 legislative session. In addition, West Virginia amended its Code of State Regulations (CSR) to provide for the establishment of a minimum incremental bonding rate as authorized by Senate Bill 121. The changes, due to the passage of House Bill 2995, will increase the filing fee for the State’s surface mining permit to $3,500 and establish various fees for other permitting actions. Senate Bill 121 authorizes regulatory revisions which includes, among other things, the establishment of a minimum incremental bonding rate of $10,000 per increment at CSR 38–2–11.4.a.2. Because the West Virginia revisions have an effective date of June 16, 2011, we approved the permit fees and the minimum incremental bonding rate on an interim basis. Our regulations at 30 CFR 732.17(h)(12) state that ‘‘[a]ll decisions approving or not approving program amendments must be published in the Federal Register and will be effective upon publication unless the notice specifies a different PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 41411 effective date.’’ Because our approval was published on June 29, 2011, and the notice did not specify a different effective date, for purposes of the West Virginia Regulatory Program, we consider the State’s provisions approved effective June 29, 2011.

The Postal Service received several comments in response to this proposed rule that are summarized later in this notice. Group E PO Box service is provided free, with restrictions, to customers whose physical addresses are not eligible for any form of USPS carrier delivery service.

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM),

ACTION: Interim rule; effective date.

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

SUMMARY: On June 29, 2011, OSM published an interim rule approving a 
program amendment submitted by the West Virginia Department of 
Environmental Protection (WVDEP). The interim rule provided an 
opportunity for public comment and gave the comment due date and 
tentative hearing date. The summary and preamble to the interim rule 
specified that it was effective upon publication; however, the DATES 
section of the rule failed to list an effective date. This final rule 
corrects that omission by providing an effective date.

DATES: The interim final rule published at 76 FR 37996 is effective 
July 14, 2011.

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments on the interim rule WV-117-FOR (76 
FR 37996; June 29, 2011) by any of the following two methods:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 29, 2011, we published an interim 
rule with request for comments at 76 FR 37996. The interim rule 
announced receipt of a proposed amendment to the West Virginia 
permanent regulatory program under the Surface Mining Control and 
Reclamation Act of 1977. On May 2, 2011, the WVDEP submitted a program 
amendment to OSM that included both statutory and regulatory revisions. 
West Virginia submitted proposed permit fee revisions to the Code of 
West Virginia as authorized by House Bill 2955 that passed during the 
State's regular 2011 legislative session. In addition, West Virginia 
amended its Code of State Regulations (CSR) to provide for the 
establishment of a minimum incremental bonding rate as authorized by 
Senate Bill 121. The changes, due to the passage of House Bill 2995, 
will increase the filing fee for the State's surface mining permit to 
$3,500 and establish various fees for other permitting actions. Senate 
Bill 121 authorizes regulatory revisions which includes, among other 
things, the establishment of a minimum incremental bonding rate of 
$10,000 per increment at CSR 38-2-11.4.a.2. Because the West Virginia 
revisions have an effective date of June 16, 2011, we approved the 
permit fees and the minimum incremental bonding rate on an interim 
basis. Our regulations at 30 CFR 732.17(h)(12) state that ``[a]ll 
decisions approving or not approving program amendments must be 
published in the Federal Register and will be effective upon 
publication unless the notice specifies a different effective date.'' 
Because our approval was published on June 29, 2011, and the notice did 
not specify a different effective date, for purposes of the West 
Virginia Regulatory Program, we consider the State's provisions 
approved effective June 29, 2011. Please see the Federal Register 
document published at 76 FR 37996 on June 29, 2011, for more details.
