The FEIS describes the environmental impacts that would result from
amending OSM's permanent program regulations that address the issue of
valid existing rights and the application of the prohibitions of
section 522(e) to the subsidence effects of underground coal mining.
Two final rules and the Records of Decision dealing with these issues
are being published in this issued of the Federal Register.
