II. Description of the Proposed
Amendment
By letter dated June 25, 2012, Utah
sent us a proposed amendment to its
program (SATS #UT–049–FOR,
Administrative Record No. OSM–2012–
0015–0002) under SMCRA (30 U.S.C.
1201 et seq.). Utah sent the proposed
amendment in response to an October 2,
2009 letter (Administrative Record No.
OSM–2012–0015–0003) that OSM sent
to Utah in accordance with 30 CFR
732.17(c). The full text of the program
amendment is available for you to read
at the locations listed above under
ADDRESSES.
We announced receipt of the
proposed amendment in the September
5, 2012, Federal Register (77 FR 54491),
provided an opportunity for a public
hearing or meeting on its substantive
adequacy, and invited public comment
on its adequacy (Administrative Record
No. OSM–2012–0015–0001). Because no
one requested a public hearing or
meeting, none was held. The public
comment period ended on October 5,
2012. We received comments from three
Federal agencies.
During our review of the amendment,
we identified concerns relating to two
provisions of the Utah Administrative
Code (UAC) at R643–874–160 and
R643–875–200. Both provisions specify
contractor eligibility criteria for
abandoned mine land reclamation
projects (general requirements and
noncoal reclamation requirements,
respectively). The UAC references
Federal regulations for those contractor
eligibility criteria. The references are
currently incorrect due to changes in the
Federal Program approved on December
3, 2007 (72 FR 68029) and November 14,
2008 (73 FR 67630). We notified Utah of
the concerns by email dated October 4,
2012 (Administrative Record No. OSM–
2012–0015–0009). Utah responded in a
letter dated November 2, 2012, by
submitting a supplemental amendment
proposal (Administrative Record No.
OSM–2012–0015–0008).
VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:25 Dec 11, 2012
Jkt 229001
Utah now proposes revisions to
update R643–874–160 and R643–875–
200 to reference the current Federal
contractor eligibility requirements.
Specifically, Utah proposes to replace
its reference to 30 CFR ‘‘773.15(b)(1),’’
which no longer exists, with reference
to 30 CFR ‘‘773.12 through 773.14.’’
III. Public Comment Procedures
Under the provisions of 30 CFR
732.17(h), we are seeking your
comments on whether the amendment
satisfies the applicable program
approval criteria of 30 CFR 732.15. If we
approve the amendment, it will become
part of the Utah program.
73967
regulations at 30 CFR 732.17(h) require
us to publish a notice in the Federal
Register indicating receipt of the
proposed amendment, its text or a
summary of its terms, and an
opportunity for public comment. We
conclude our review of the proposed
amendment after the close of the public
comment period and determine whether
the amendment should be approved,
approved in part, or not approved. At
that time, we will also make the
determinations and certifications
required by the various laws and
executive orders governing the
rulemaking process and include them in
the final rule.
Electronic or Written Comments
If you submit written comments, they
should be specific, confined to issues
pertinent to the proposed regulations,
and explain the reason for any
recommended change(s). We appreciate
any and all comments, but those most
useful and likely to influence decisions
on the final regulations will be those
that either involve personal experience
or include citations to and analyses of
SMCRA, its legislative history, its
implementing regulations, case law,
other pertinent State or Federal laws or
regulations, technical literature, or other
relevant publications.
We cannot ensure that comments
received after the close of the comment
period (see DATES) or sent to an address
other than those listed above (see
ADDRESSES) will be included in the
docket for this rulemaking and
considered.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On February 2, 2012, we published a
Notice of Proposed Rulemaking entitled
‘‘Drawbridge Operation Regulation; Bear
Creek, Dundalk, MD’’ in the Federal
Register (77 FR 5201). The rulemaking
concerned would alter the current four
hour advance notice requirement for a
bridge opening, found in 33 CFR
117.543(b), to a 48-hour advance notice.
Baltimore County requested to reduce
the necessity for bridge openings based
on bridge logs provided over a two year
period. However, prior to the
publication of the notice of proposed
rulemaking the bridge owner displayed
on the Wise Avenue Bridge signage that
stated a 48-hour advance notice was
required to open the draw bridge. This
signage portrayed improper operational
information since the current operation
regulation had not changed. The Coast
Guard determined the signage that
stated a 48-hour advance notice was
required for a bridge opening was
misleading to the public and
navigational users.

Baltimore County, responsible for the
operation of the Wise Avenue Bridge,
had requested advance notification of
vessel openings. Following publication
of the notice of proposed rulemaking,
the Coast Guard received two comments
opposing changes to the regulation.
Both comments felt the 48-hour advance
notice was unnecessary and too
burdensome to the waterway users. One
of the comments stated signage had
been placed on the bridge providing
information misleading to the public.
Baltimore County admitted establishing
signage on the bridge prior to the
publication of the notice of proposed
rulemaking citing the bridge would
open with a 48-hour notice prior to
approval from the regulatory process.
The second comment stated that a 24hour advance notice would be better
VerDate Mar<15>2010
than the proposed 48 hours. Due to the
bridge owner displaying misleading and
inaccurate signage during a public
comment period and prior to any
change in the bridge opening
regulations, the Coast Guard is
withdrawing the proposed rule. The
owner may, however, request a new
notice of proposed rulemaking for a
future period in which the inaccurate
signage is not posted.
