Download as PDF 26802 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 111 / Monday, June 10, 2019 / Proposed Rules and implemented, the comprehensive support and improvement plan will be monitored and periodically reviewed by the BIE. (b) In regards to high schools that have been identified as having failed to graduate one-third or more of their students, the BIE may: (1) Permit differentiated improvement activities that use evidence-based interventions in the case of a school that predominantly serves students: (i) Returning to education after having exited secondary school without a regular high school diploma, or (ii) Who, based on their grade or age, are significantly off track to accumulate sufficient academic credits to meet high school graduation requirements; and (2) In the case of a school that has a total enrollment of fewer than 100 students, permit the BIE-funded school to forego implementation of improvement activities. § 30.122 How will the Secretary implement targeted support and improvement? (a) Using the system of annual meaningful differentiation of schools, the Secretary will notify each BIEfunded school in which any subgroup of students is consistently underperforming. (b) Each school that has been notified must develop and implement, in partnership with stakeholders (including principals and other school leaders, teachers, and parents), a schoollevel targeted support and improvement plan to improve student outcomes based on the BIE’s indicators for each subgroup of students that was the subject of such notification consistent with the Act. Targeted support and improvement plans must include evidence-based interventions, will be approved by the BIE prior to implementation, and will be monitored by the BIE upon submission and implementation. Targeted support and improvement plans must result in additional action following unsuccessful implementation of the plan after a number of years as determined by the BIE. khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS § 30.123 How will the Secretary implement additional targeted support? Where a school would be identified for comprehensive support and improvement because, for any subgroup, it is within the lowest-performing five (5) percent of all schools in the BIE system using the BIE’s system of annual meaningful differentiation of schools, a school-level targeted support and improvement plan must also identify resource inequities (which may include a review of BIE-funded school level VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:18 Jun 07, 2019 Jkt 247001 budgeting), to be addressed through implementation of the plan. § 30.124 How will the Secretary implement continued support for Bureau-funded schools and school improvement? (a) The Secretary will establish exit criteria for: (1) Schools identified for comprehensive support and improvement, which, if not satisfied within a BIE-determined number of years (not to exceed four (4) years), will result in more rigorous BIE-determined action, such as implementation of interventions (which may include addressing school-level operations); and (2) Schools identified for additional targeted support. (b) The Secretary will also periodically review resource allocation to support school improvement. Subpart D—Responsibilities and Accountability § 30.125 What is required for the Bureau to meet its reporting responsibilities? The Bureau is required to prepare and disseminate widely to the public an annual report card for the BIE-funded school system as a whole, and also report cards for individual BIE-funded schools, consistent with the requirements of section 1111(h) of the Act. The BIE’s annual report card will be made available on the internet along with all BIE-funded school report cards. § 30.126 What information collections have been approved? The collections of information in this part have been approved by the Office of Management and Budget under 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq. and assigned OMB Control Number 1076–NEW. Response is required to obtain a benefit. A Federal agency may not conduct or sponsor, and you are not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. Dated: May 31, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 1, 2019 (84 FR 18428), we published a proposed rule that would revise the Illinois program. By letter dated December 5, 2018 (Administrative Record No. IL–5100), Illinois sent us an amendment to its program under SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.) at its own initiative. By email dated December 11, 2018, Illinois requested that OSMRE’s review be put on hold khammond on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with PROPOSALS ADDRESSES: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:18 Jun 07, 2019 Jkt 247001 until they could resubmit the proposed amendment due to editorial changes requested by the Illinois Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. Illinois resubmitted the proposed amendment to OSMRE on February 20, 2019. OSMRE will use this date for its review. Below is a summary of the changes proposed by Illinois. The full text of the program amendment is available for you to read at the locations listed above under ADDRESSES. Illinois proposes to revise the Illinois Surface Coal Mining Land Conservation and Reclamation Act (225 ILCS 720), Section 1.06, ‘‘Scope of the Act,’’ by adding language allowing coal extraction as an incidental part of a government-financed project. The language added is nearly identical to that found in Section 528 of SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1278). Illinois also proposes to revise the following Parts of Title 62 of the Illinois Administrative Code: Section 1701 Appendix A. Definitions Illinois proposes to revise its regulation at section 1701 Appendix A, amending a number of its definitions, including those for ‘‘ownership,’’ ‘‘control,’’ and ‘‘violations,’’ to conform with the Federal definitions at 30 CFR 701.5 and 707.5. Section 1703 Exemption for Coal Extraction Incident to GovernmentFinanced Highway or Other Construction Illinois proposes adding a new section 1703 to allow the extraction of coal as an incidental part of a governmentfinanced construction project, which incorporates language identical to the Federal regulations at 30 CFR part 707. Section 1773 Requirements for Permits and Permit Processing Illinois proposes to amend section 1773.15, ‘‘Review of Permit Applications’’ to comport with changes made to the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 773.12. These changes preclude the Department from considering violations upstream of the permit applicant by removing ‘‘person who owns or controls the applicant’’ from this section. Illinois also proposes to amend section 1773.25, ‘‘Standards for Challenging Ownership or Control Links and the Status Violations,’’ to update a subsection reference. Section 1774 Permit Revisions Illinois proposes to amend section 1774.13, ‘‘Permit Revisions,’’ to provide further clarification as to which reclamation plan land use changes require a significant revision for a PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 26803 permit application. Illinois proposes to remove the requirement for a significant revision for land use changes involving greater than five percent of the total permit acreage after finding the five percent limitation to be unduly restrictive and burdensome. Instead, the Department will consider changes in the reclamation plan for post-mining land use in determining whether a significant revision to the permit must be obtained. These changes are proposed in order to make the Illinois rules as effective as the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 774.13. Section 1778 Permit Applications— Minimum Requirements for Legal, Financial, Compliance, and Related Information Illinois proposes adding a new section 1778.9, ‘‘Certifying and Updating Existing Permit Application Information,’’ which incorporates language identical to the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 778.9. Illinois proposes to amend section 1778.13, ‘‘Identification of Interests,’’ to comport with changes made to the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 778.11 and 778.12. Illinois proposes to amend section 1778.14, ‘‘Violation Information,’’ to comport with changes made to the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 778.14. Illinois proposes to amend section 1778.15, ‘‘Right of Entry Information,’’ to add language found in the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 778.13 related to property interest information to the existing right of entry language in this section, which corresponds to 30 CFR 778.15, so that all property related rules are located in one section. During the initial comment period, we received requests from three citizen’s organizations (Administrative Record No. IL–5104, IL–5106 and IL–5108) to extend the public comment period and the date to request to testify at a public hearing. Based on that request, we have extended both time periods as described in DATES in this notice. Public Hearing The hearing will be open to anyone who would like to attend and/or testify. The primary purpose of the public hearing is to obtain your comments on the proposed rule so that we can prepare a complete and objective analysis of the proposal. The purpose of the hearing officer is to conduct the hearing and receive the comments submitted. Comments submitted during the hearing will be responded to in the preamble to the final rule, not at the hearing. If you wish to speak at the public hearing, contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION E:\FR\FM\10JNP1.SGM 10JNP1 26804 Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 111 / Monday, June 10, 2019 / Proposed Rules CONTACT by 4:00 p.m., CDT on June 13, 2019. If you are disabled and need reasonable accommodations to attend a public hearing, contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

To assist the transcriber and ensure an accurate record, we request, if possible, that each person who speaks at the public hearing provide us with a written copy of his or her comments. The public hearing will continue until everyone scheduled to speak has been given an opportunity to be heard. If you are in the audience and have not been scheduled to speak and wish to do so, you will be allowed to speak after those who have been scheduled. We will end the hearing after everyone scheduled to speak and others present in the audience who wish to speak, have been heard.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On May 1, 2019 (84 FR 18428), we published a 
proposed rule that would revise the Illinois program. By letter dated 
December 5, 2018 (Administrative Record No. IL-5100), Illinois sent us 
an amendment to its program under SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq.) at its 
own initiative. By email dated December 11, 2018, Illinois requested 
that OSMRE's review be put on hold until they could resubmit the 
proposed amendment due to editorial changes requested by the Illinois 
Joint Committee on Administrative Rules. Illinois resubmitted the 
proposed amendment to OSMRE on February 20, 2019. OSMRE will use this 
date for its review. Below is a summary of the changes proposed by 
Illinois. The full text of the program amendment is available for you 
to read at the locations listed above under ADDRESSES.
    Illinois proposes to revise the Illinois Surface Coal Mining Land 
Conservation and Reclamation Act (225 ILCS 720), Section 1.06, ``Scope 
of the Act,'' by adding language allowing coal extraction as an 
incidental part of a government-financed project. The language added is 
nearly identical to that found in Section 528 of SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 
1278).
    Illinois also proposes to revise the following Parts of Title 62 of 
the Illinois Administrative Code:

Section 1701 Appendix A. Definitions

    Illinois proposes to revise its regulation at section 1701 Appendix 
A, amending a number of its definitions, including those for 
``ownership,'' ``control,'' and ``violations,'' to conform with the 
Federal definitions at 30 CFR 701.5 and 707.5.

Section 1703 Exemption for Coal Extraction Incident to Government-
Financed Highway or Other Construction

    Illinois proposes adding a new section 1703 to allow the extraction 
of coal as an incidental part of a government-financed construction 
project, which incorporates language identical to the Federal 
regulations at 30 CFR part 707.

Section 1773 Requirements for Permits and Permit Processing

    Illinois proposes to amend section 1773.15, ``Review of Permit 
Applications'' to comport with changes made to the Federal regulations 
at 30 CFR 773.12. These changes preclude the Department from 
considering violations upstream of the permit applicant by removing 
``person who owns or controls the applicant'' from this section.
    Illinois also proposes to amend section 1773.25, ``Standards for 
Challenging Ownership or Control Links and the Status Violations,'' to 
update a subsection reference.

Section 1774 Permit Revisions

    Illinois proposes to amend section 1774.13, ``Permit Revisions,'' 
to provide further clarification as to which reclamation plan land use 
changes require a significant revision for a permit application. 
Illinois proposes to remove the requirement for a significant revision 
for land use changes involving greater than five percent of the total 
permit acreage after finding the five percent limitation to be unduly 
restrictive and burdensome. Instead, the Department will consider 
changes in the reclamation plan for post-mining land use in determining 
whether a significant revision to the permit must be obtained. These 
changes are proposed in order to make the Illinois rules as effective 
as the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 774.13.

Section 1778 Permit Applications--Minimum Requirements for Legal, 
Financial, Compliance, and Related Information

    Illinois proposes adding a new section 1778.9, ``Certifying and 
Updating Existing Permit Application Information,'' which incorporates 
language identical to the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 778.9.
    Illinois proposes to amend section 1778.13, ``Identification of 
Interests,'' to comport with changes made to the Federal regulations at 
30 CFR 778.11 and 778.12.
    Illinois proposes to amend section 1778.14, ``Violation 
Information,'' to comport with changes made to the Federal regulations 
at 30 CFR 778.14.
    Illinois proposes to amend section 1778.15, ``Right of Entry 
Information,'' to add language found in the Federal regulations at 30 
CFR 778.13 related to property interest information to the existing 
right of entry language in this section, which corresponds to 30 CFR 
778.15, so that all property related rules are located in one section.
    During the initial comment period, we received requests from three 
citizen's organizations (Administrative Record No. IL-5104, IL-5106 and 
IL-5108) to extend the public comment period and the date to request to 
testify at a public hearing. Based on that request, we have extended 
both time periods as described in DATES in this notice.

Public Hearing

    The hearing will be open to anyone who would like to attend and/or 
testify. The primary purpose of the public hearing is to obtain your 
comments on the proposed rule so that we can prepare a complete and 
objective analysis of the proposal. The purpose of the hearing officer 
is to conduct the hearing and receive the comments submitted. Comments 
submitted during the hearing will be responded to in the preamble to 
the final rule, not at the hearing. If you wish to speak at the public 
hearing, contact the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

influence decisions on the final rule 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 
State or Federal laws and regulations, data, technical literature, or 
relevant publications.
