All operators in NPS units would be required to comply with the 9B regulations. • Elimination of the financial assurance (bonding) cap. Financial assurance would be equal to the reasonable estimated cost of site reclamation. • Improving enforcement authority by incorporating existing NPS penalty provisions. Law enforcement staff would have authority to write citations for noncompliance with the regulations. • Authorizing compensation to the federal government for new access on federal lands outside the boundary of an operator’s mineral right. • Reformatting the regulations to make it easier to identify an operator’s information requirements and operating standards that apply to each type of operation.
