Pennsylvania Regulatory Program
We are announcing receipt of a request to remove a required amendment to the Pennsylvania regulatory program (the ``Pennsylvania program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). In response to a required program amendment codified in the Federal regulations, Pennsylvania has submitted information that it believes demonstrates that sufficient funds exist to guarantee coverage of the full cost of land reclamation at all sites originally permitted and bonded under its now-defunct alternative bonding system. Pennsylvania requests that the program amendment be removed based on the information provided. This document gives the times and locations that the Pennsylvania program and this submittal are available for your inspection, the comment period during which you may submit written comments, and the procedures that we will follow for the public hearing, if one is requested.
Notice of Proposed Information Collection for 1029-0055
In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is announcing its intention to request renewed approval for the collection of information in 30 CFR part 877Rights of Entry.
Information Collection Sent to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for Approval; OMB Control No. 1018-0023, Migratory Bird Surveys
We (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service) have sent an Information Collection Request (ICR) to OMB for review and approval. We summarize the ICR below and describe the nature of the collection and the estimated burden and cost. This information collection is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2011. We may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. However, under OMB regulations, we may continue to conduct or sponsor this information collection while it is pending at OMB.
West Virginia Regulatory Program
We are reopening the public comment period on the proposed West Virginia Regulatory Program rule published on October 21, 2009. The comment period is being reopened in order to afford the public the opportunity to comment on the proposed amendment to change a type of cropland postmining land use from ``bio oil'' to ``bio fuel.'' In the initial proposed rule announcing receipt of the amendment, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) characterized the change as non-substantive, and did not note where the changes occurred throughout the regulations. Concerns were raised about the use of ``bio-fuel'' as a postmining land use (unrelated to this amendment) and OSM asked the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) to clarify why the State was changing the term ``bio-oil'' to ``bio-fuel.''
