Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Notices

We are revising our regulations governing the processing of State and tribal grant applications to build public facilities using Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Reclamation Funds. The existing regulations require us to publish a Federal Register notice whenever we receive a grant application to build a public facility. We are changing this requirement to one that requires us to publish a notice only when the Director of the Office of Surface Mining (OSM) finds it necessary to ensure adequate public notice of the grant application. We are also correcting errors in four cross-references.
