Abstract
The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is correcting the effective date of three final rules that appeared in the Federal Register on March 26, 1997. These documents approved amendments to the Maryland regulatory program (62 FR 14306), the Ohio abandoned mine land reclamation plan (62 FR 14308) and the Texas regulatory program (62 FR 14311) all effective on the date of publication, March 26, 1997. OSM had prepared a separate rulemaking on March 5, 1997 (62 FR 9932), which became effective April 4, 1997. Due to the differences in effective dates, the March 5, 1997, rule would result in a nullification of the three state program amendments previously listed. Therefore, this document corrects the effective date of the three state program amendments to April 7, 1997.
