Document Number: 2020-25910
Type: Notice
Date: 2020-11-24
Agency: Department of the Interior
The Department of the Interior (DOI) is issuing a public notice of its intent to rescind the Privacy Act system of records, INTERIOR/DOI-79, Interior Personnel Records, from its inventory because it is duplicative with existing system of records notice requirements. During a review of DOI system of records notices, it was determined that personnel records of current and recently separated DOI employees maintained by DOI are covered under the government-wide system of records notice, OPM/GOVT-1, General Personnel Records, and the DOI system of records notice, INTERIOR/DOI-85, Payroll, Attendance, Retirement, and Leave Records. This rescindment will eliminate an unnecessary duplicate notice and promote the overall streamlining and management of DOI Privacy Act systems of records.
Clarification of Provisions Related to the Issuance of Ten-Day Notices to State Regulatory Authorities and Enhancement of Corrective Action for State Regulatory Program Issues
Document Number: 2020-24137
Type: Rule
Date: 2020-11-24
Agency: Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement
On May 14, 2020, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) published a proposal to clarify the Federal regulations about how OSMRE notifies State regulatory authorities, via issuance of a ten-day notice (TDN), of possible violations of any requirement of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). This final rule adopts, with minor adjustments, much of OSMRE's proposals to streamline the process for OSMRE's coordination with State regulatory authorities in order to minimize duplication of inspections, enforcement, and administration of SMCRA. This final rule comports with the specific language of SMCRA, remedies internal disparate application of existing regulations, and will operate to ensure more effective enforcement of SMCRA. Additionally, the final rule will enhance the procedures for early identification of, and implementation of corrective action to address, State regulatory program issues.
