Short Statement:
OSM is conducting rulemaking as a result of a settlement agreement. We view this rulemaking initiative as an opportunity to ensure we and our State counterparts have the tools we need to enforce SMCRA, clarify ambiguous provisions in our regulations, and reduce reporting burdens on the coal mining industry and regulatory authorities. We are hopeful that any final rule resulting from this proposal will introduce a measure of regulatory stability to areas that have been in flux since at least 1988.
