## Abstract

The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is correcting the effective date of a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on March 31, 1997. The document approved an amendment to the Alaska regulatory program (62 FR 15115), effective on the date of publication, March 31, 1997. OSM had prepared a separate rulemaking on March 5, 1997, (62 FR 9932), which became effective April 4, 1997. Due to the difference in the effective date, the March 5, 1997 rule would result in a nullification of the Alaska state program amendment previously listed. Therefore, this document corrects the effective date of the Alaska state program amendment to April 7, 1997.
