Closure of Petition for Rulemaking; Use of Explosives on Surface Coal Mining Operations
We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), withdraw our decision to initiate rulemaking related to the release of emissions generated by blasting on surface coal mining operations. After granting a petition to initiate rulemaking in 2015 without stating the content of the rule we planned to propose, OSMRE has since determined that it lacks statutory authority to establish an air quality standard as urged by petitioners, and that in the rare instances where injury might occur, the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA), provides adequate mechanisms for enforcement.

Migratory Bird Subsistence Harvest in Alaska; Harvest Regulations for Migratory Birds in Alaska During the 2019 Season
We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, are adopting as a final rule an interim rule that went into effect on April 2, 2019, and established migratory bird subsistence harvest regulations in Alaska for the 2019 season. These regulations allow for the continuation of customary and traditional subsistence uses of migratory birds in Alaska and prescribe regional information on when and where the harvesting of birds may occur. The rulemaking is necessary because the regulations governing the subsistence harvest of migratory birds in Alaska are subject to annual review. Therefore, for the reasons given in the interim rule and in this document, we are adopting the interim rule as a final rule without change.
