Title: Improving and Eliminating Regulations 
Abstract: We have reviewed our current regulations and identified provisions that are outdated, redundant, unnecessary or otherwise require change. We will be making these changes through notice and comment rulemaking where necessary. We will also consider new regulations that reflect "best practices" in the mining industry. We view this effort to be evolving and ongoing and will continue to accept recommendations from the public.
