SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background on the Wyoming Program
II. Submission of the Withdrawal
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
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 the conditions of
approval of the Wyoming program 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 Withdrawal
By letter dated October 24, 2011,
Wyoming sent us a proposed
amendment to its approved regulatory
program (Administrative Record Docket
ID No. OSM–2011–0020) under SMCRA
(30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.). Wyoming
submitted the amendment to address
required rule changes OSM identified in
a letter to Wyoming dated October 2,
2009, under 30 CFR 732.17(c) (‘‘732
letter’’). These included changes to
Wyoming’s rules for ownership and
control. Wyoming also submitted the
amendment to address four deficiencies
that OSM identified in response to
Wyoming’s formally submitted
revegetation rule package (WY–038–
FOR; Docket ID #OSM–2009–0012) and
correct numerous inaccurate citations to
other sections of Wyoming’s rules and
regulations.
We announced receipt of the
proposed amendment in the December
23, 2011, Federal Register (76 FR
80310). 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
Document ID No. OSM–2011–0020–
0001). We did not hold a public hearing

or meeting because no one requested
one. The public comment period ended
on January 23, 2012. We received
comments from three Federal agencies
(Mine Safety and Health
Administration, USDA Forest Service,
U.S. Geological Survey) and one State
agency (Wyoming Game and Fish
Department). In a letter dated March 16,
2012, Wyoming notified us that it was
withdrawing the proposed amendment
at this time so that it can draft
additional rule language to address the
issues in the October 2, 2009, 732 letter
and resubmit the amendment by January
of 2013. The required rule changes
identified by OSM in the October 2,
2009, 732 letter to Wyoming remain
effective.
