Burden Reduction Due to: Changing Regulations

Short Statement: OSMRE is submitting this change notice due to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia's ruling on February 20, 2014, which vacated the stream buffer zone rule that we published December 12, 2008 (73 FR 75814). The court remanded the matter to us for further proceedings consistent with the decision. In relevant part, the Memorandum Decision stated that vacatur of the 2008 stream buffer zone rule resulted in reinstatement of the regulations in effect before the vacated rule took effect. Therefore, we are removing the provisions of the vacated 2008 rule and reinstating the corresponding information collection burdens in effect before the effective date of the 2008 rule (January 12, 2009).
