Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement Office March 8, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This final rule removes a suspension notation from our regulations pertaining to the Kentucky regulatory program (the ``Kentucky program''). The suspension prohibited the issuance of new financial guarantees by the Kentucky Bond Pool because of insufficient funds that had resulted from the transfer of funds out of the bond pool. Kentucky has reimbursed its bond pool and the suspension notation concerning that issue is being removed because it is no longer necessary.
