by demonstrating that its State program
includes, among other things, ‘‘a State
law which provides for the regulation of

rules and regulations consistent with
regulations issued by the Secretary
pursuant to this Act.’’ See 30 U.S.C.

II. Submission of the Withdrawal
By letter dated July 20, 2011, Montana
sent us an amendment to its program
(SATS No. MT–033–FOR,
Administrative Record Docket ID No.
OSM–2011–0012) under SMCRA (30
U.S.C. 1201 et seq.). Montana submitted
the amendment to include changes
made to the Montana Strip and
Underground Mine Reclamation Act
(MSUMRA) as a result of the 2011
Montana Legislature passage of Senate
Bill 286 relating to coal prospecting.
Montana sent the amendment to include
the changes made at its own initiative.
We announced receipt of the
proposed amendment in the October 17,
2011, Federal Register (76 FR 64047). 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 ID No. OSM–
2011–0012–0004). We did not hold a
public hearing or meeting because no
one requested one. We received
comments from the Montana Historical
Society, Westmoreland Resources Inc.,
the Bureau of Land Management, and
the Mine Safety and Health
Administration (Administrative Record
ID No. OSM–2011–0012–0010).
During our review of the amendment,
we identified areas needing clarification
at MSUMRA Section 82–4–226. We
notified Montana of our concerns by
letter dated November 22, 2011
(Administrative Record ID No. OSM–
2011–0012–0005).
We delayed final rulemaking to afford
Montana the opportunity to submit new
material to address the concerns.
Montana responded in a letter dated
December 22, 2011, by submitting
additional explanatory information
(Administrative Record ID No. OSM–
2011–0012–0006). Based upon
Montana’s additional explanatory
information for its amendment, we
reopened the public comment period in
the March 27, 2012, Federal Register
[(77 FR 18149); (Administrative Record
Document ID No. OSM–2011–0012–
0007)] and provided an opportunity for
a public hearing or meeting on the
adequacy of the revised amendment. We
did not hold a public hearing or meeting
because no one requested one. We
received comments from the State
Historic Preservation Office, the Mine
Safety and Health Administration, the
US Geological Survey, and the Bureau
of Land Management (Administrative
Record ID No. OSM–2011–0012–0011).
In a letter dated October 5, 2012

VerDate Mar<15>2010
15:25 Dec 11, 2012
Jkt 229001
No. OSM–2011–0012–0013), Montana
notified us that they were withdrawing
the proposed amendment at this time.
Montana stated in the letter that they
were submitting additional rule
language to be reviewed informally by
OSM in anticipation of promulgation of
the revised rule through the Montana
State Legislature sometime around April
2013.
