    SUMMARY: OSM is announcing receipt of a proposed amendment to the Utah 
    regulatory program and abandoned mine plan (hereinafter, the ``Utah 
    program'' and ``Utah plan'') under the Surface Mining Control and 
    Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The amendment consists of proposed 
    revisions to the Utah Coal Mining and Reclamation Act of 1979. The Utah 
    program revisions pertain to purpose; definitions of new terms; 
    rulemaking authority and procedure; administrative procedures; 
    financial interests; permit applications; informal conferences; appeals 
    and further review; performance bonds; revegetation standards on lands 
    eligible for remining; operator requirements for underground coal 
    mining; information provided by permittees; contest of violation or 
    amount of penalty; civil actions to compel compliance with Utah's 
    program; violations of Utah's program or permit conditions; lands 
    unsuitable determination; judicial review of rules and orders; repeal 
    of specific sections of the Utah Code Annotated 1953 (UCA); and a 
    repeal date of certain provisions. The Utah plan revisions pertain to 
    lands and water eligible for reclamation, recovery of reclamation 
    costs, and liens. The amendment is intended to revise Utah's program 
    and plan to be consistent with SMCRA and the Utah Administrative 
    Procedures Act, and to improve operational efficiency.

    II. Proposed Amendment
    
        By letter dated April 14, 1994, Utah submitted a proposed amendment 
    to its program and plan pursuant to SMCRA (administrative record No. 
    UT-917). The proposed amendment consists of revisions to the Utah Coal 
    Mining and Reclamation Act of 1979. Utah submitted the proposed 
    amendment with the intent of making its program and plan consistent 
    with SMCRA and the Utah Administrative Procedures Act, and improving 
    operational efficiency.
        The program provisions of the Utah Coal Mining and Reclamation Act 
    that Utah proposes to revise are (1) Utah Code Annotated (UCA) 40-10-2, 
    purpose [of Chapter 10]; (2) UCA 40-10-3, definitions of new terms 
    ``adjudicative proceeding,'' ``lands eligible for remining,'' and 
    ``unanticipated event or condition;'' (3) UCA 40-10-6.5, rulemaking 
    authority and procedure; (4) UCA 40-10-6.7, administrative procedures; 
    (5) UCA 40-10-7, prohibition of financial interest in any coal mining 
    operation; (6) UCA 40-10-8, coal exploration rules issued by the 
    Division of Oil, Gas and Mining (Division) and penalty for violation; 
    (7) UCA 40-10-10, permit applications; (8) UCA 40-10-11, Division 
    action on the permit application; (9) UCA 40-10-12, revision or 
    modification of permit provisions; (10) UCA 40-10-13, informal 
    conferences; (11) UCA 40-10-14, permit approval or disapproval, 
    appeals, and further review; (12) UCA 40-10-15, performance bonds; (13) 
    UCA 40-10-16, release of performance bond, surety, or deposit; (14) UCA 
    40-10-17, revegetation standards on lands eligible for remining; (15) 
    UCA 40-10-18, operator requirements for underground coal mining; (16) 
    UCA 40-10-19, information provided by the permittee to the Division and

    determination of unsuitability of lands for surface coal mining; and 
    (21) UCA 40-10-30, judicial review of rules or orders. Utah also 
    proposes to repeal UCA 40-10-4, ``Mined land reclamation provisions 
    applied,'' and UCA 40-10-31, ``Chapter's procedures supersede Title 63, 
    Chapter 46b,'' and add the requirement that UCA 40-10-11(5), 
    modification of permit issuance prohibition, and UCA 40-10-
    17(2)(t)(ii), revegetation standards on lands eligible for remining, 
    are repealed effective September 30, 2004.
        The plan provisions of the Utah Coal Mining and Reclamation Act 
    that Utah proposes to revise are (1) UCA 40-10-25, lands and water 
    eligible for reclamation; (2) UCA 40-10-27, entry upon land adversely 
    affected by past coal mining practices, State acquisition of land and 
    public sale, and water pollution control and treatment plants; and (3) 
    UCA 40-10-28, recovery of reclamation costs and liens against reclaimed 
    land.
        Following are more specific descriptions of the revisions that Utah 
    proposes to make to the above-listed sections of its statute. These 
    descriptions do not address several editorial revisions including 
    changes in punctuation and capitalization; recodification; replacement 
    of the word ``regulations'' and the term ``rules and regulations'' with 
    the synonymous word ``rules;'' the joining with the conjunction ``and'' 
    of the last two provisions in a series of three or more provisions 
    joined by semicolons; the use of Arabic numbers instead of spelling out 
    the numbers; and the deletion of the word ``this'' prior to the word 
    ``Subsection'' when it is followed by a specific statute citation.
        Utah proposes the following revisions to its program provisions.
        Utah proposes to add new definitions for the terms (1) 
    ``adjudicative proceeding'' at UCA 40-10-3(1) to mean ``a division or 
    board action or proceeding that determines the legal rights, duties, 
    privileges, immunities, or other legal interests of one or more 
    identifiable persons, including all actions to grant, deny, revoke, 
    suspend, modify, annul, withdraw, or amend an authority, right, permit, 
    or license;'' (2) ``lands eligible for remining'' at UCA 40-10-3(8) to 
    mean ``those lands that would otherwise be eligible for expenditures 
    under Section 40-10-25 or 40-10-25.1;'' and (3) ``unanticipated event 
    or condition'' at UCA 40-10-3(21) to mean ``an event or condition 
    encountered in a remining operation that was not contemplated by the 
    applicable surface coal mining and reclamation permit.''
        Utah proposes to revise its rulemaking authority and procedure 
    provisions at UCA 40-10-6.5 by adding new language at UCA 40-10-6.5(1) 
    to require the Board of Oil, Gas and Mining (Board) to promulgate rules 
    in accordance with Title 63, Chapter 46a of the Utah Administrative 
    Rulemaking Act and deleting the provisions of UCA 40-10-6.5(3), which 
    set forth the requirements for conducting hearings under Chapter 10.
        Utah proposes to add new language at UCA 40-10-6.7, administrative 
    procedures, to require that the Division shall conduct informal 
    adjudicative proceedings, which are referred to as conferences or 
    informal conferences. Utah also proposes to require that the Board or 
    Division shall conduct formal adjudicative proceedings, which are 
    referred to as hearings or public hearings. The conduct of these 
    conferences and hearings will be governed by rules adopted by the Board 
    which are in accordance with Title 63, Chapter 46b of the Utah 
    Administrative Procedures Act (UAPA). In addition, Utah proposes that 
    such hearings, will be conducted in a manner which guarantees the 
    parties' due process rights, includes provisions to ensure this 
    protection, and requires a verbatim record of each public hearing 
    required by Chapter 10 will be made and a transcript will be available 
    on the motion of any party or by order of the Board.
        Utah proposes an editorial revision at UCA 40-10-10, permit 
    applications, by changing the word ``implementing'' to ``the'' before 
    the word ``rules.''
        Utah proposes to revise UCA 40-10-11 by requiring that the schedule 
    listing any and all notices of violations submitted as part of the 
    permit application include violations of any State or Federal program 
    or law approved under SMCRA. Utah also proposes to add new UCA 40-10-
    11(5) to require that (1) the prohibition of UCA 40-10-11(3), 
    concerning issuance of a permit to persons with outstanding violations 
    or with a history of willful violations, does not apply after October 
    14, 1992, if the violation resulted from an unanticipated event or 
    condition that occurred on lands eligible for remaining, (2) the term 
    ``violation'' as used here as the same meaning as the term 
    ``violation'' under UCA 40-10-11(3) prohibiting permit issuance, and 
    (3) UCA 40-10-11(5) is repealed effective September 30, 2004.
        Utah proposes to add new langauge to its provisions pertaining to 
    informal conferences at UCA 40-10-13(2)(b) to specify that, if written 
    objections to a proposed initial or revised application for a surface 
    coal mining and reclamation operations permit are filed, the Division 
    will hold an informal conference and conduct it in accordance with 
    subsection (b) irrespective of the requirements of section 63-46b-5 of 
    UAPA and that such conference may be held in the locality of the coal 
    mining and reclamation operation if requested within a reasonable time 
    after written objections or a request for an informal conference are 
    received by the Division.
        Utah proposes to revise its provisions at UCA 40-10-14, pertaining 
    to permit approval or disapproval, appeals, and further review, by 
    adding new language at subsection (6) to provide that an applicant or 
    aggrieved person may appeal the Board's decision granting or denying 
    the permit in whole or in part directly to the Utah Supreme Court, that 
    if the Board fails to act, the applicant or aggrieved person may bring 
    an action in the appropriate district court, and that time frames for 
    appeals under this subsection shall be consistent with UAPA.
        Utah proposes to revise its statutory provisions at UCA 40-10-16(6) 
    for release of performance bonds, sureties, or deposits by deleting the 
    requirements that provide for advertisement of a public hearing, govern 
    the manner in which hearings are conducted, and allow the Division to 
    establish an informal conference to resolve written objections. Utah 
    also proposes new language there requiring that:
    
        If written objections are filed and a conference is requested, 
    the division shall inform all interested parties of the time and 
    place of the conference and hold an informal conference within 30 
    days after the request is filed with the division. The conference 
    officer may convert the conference to a formal proceeding under the 
    standards set forth in section 63-46b-4 [of the UAPA]. The matter 
    shall be scheduled for hearing before the board and a hearing shall 
    be held in accordance with the rules of practice and procedure of 
    the board. A decision from the informal conference may be appealed 
    to the board. The board shall hold a hearing pursuant to the rules 
    of practice and procedure of the board.
    
        Utah proposes to revise its performance standards provisions at UCA 
    40-10-17(2) by adding new subsection (t)(ii) to require that on lands 
    eligible for remining, the operations shall assume the responsibility 
    for successful revegetation for a period of 2 full years after the last 
    year of augmented seeding, fertilizing, irrigation, or other work in 
    order to assure compliance with performance standards. Utah also 
    proposes to add new UCA 40-10-17(6) to specify that UCA 40-10-
    17(2)(t)(ii) is repealed effective September 30, 2004.
        Utah proposes to revise UCA 40-10-18, operator requirements for 
    underground coal mining, by adding new subsection (4) to require the 
    permittee of an underground coal mining operation after October 24, 
    1992, to promptly repair or compensate for material damage resulting 
    from subsidence to occupied residential dwellings and related 
    structures or noncommercial buildings. Utah further proposes that 
    repair of damage includes rehabilitation, restoration, or replacement 
    of such damaged dwellings, structures, or buildings; and compensation 
    is to be in the full amount of the diminution in value resulting from 
    the subsidence. Lastly, Utah proposes that the requirement to repair or 
    compensate for material damage resulting from subsidence will not 
    prohibit or interrupt underground coal mining operations, and the Board 
    will adopt final rules to implement these provisions within 1 year 
    after enactment of UCA 40-10-18(4).
        Utah proposes to revise UCA 40-10-20, contest of violation or 
    amount of penalty, by adding new subsection (2)(e)(ii) to provide that 
    if the operator fails to submit the amount of the civil penalty within 
    30 days of receipt of the results of an informal conference, the 
    operator waives any opportunity for further review of the violation or 
    to contest the violation.
        Utah proposes to revise UCA 40-10-22 pertaining to violations of 
    Utah's program or permit conditions by (1) requiring at subsection 
    (1)(d) that, where a determination is made that a pattern of violations 
    exists has existed and the violations were caused by the permittee's 
    unwarranted failure to comply with Utah's program or the conditions of 
    the permit, the Division will request the Board to issue an order to 
    the permittee to show cause as to why the permit should not be 
    suspended or revoked and provide an opportunity for a public hearing; 
    if the permittee requests a hearing, the Board will give notice in 
    accordance with its rules of practice and procedure; and if the 
    permittee fails to show cause as to why the permit should not be 
    suspended or revoked, the Board will immediately enter an order to 
    suspend or revoke the permit; (2) adding the word ``district'' before 
    ``court'' at subsection (2)(a) and clarifying that any relief granted 
    by the district court will continue in effect unless the Utah Supreme 
    Court on review grants a stay of enforcement or sets aside or modifies 
    the Board's order which is being appealed; (3) providing at subsection 
    (3)(a) that a permittee or aggrieved person may initiate Board action 
    by requesting a hearing and requiring at subsections (3)(b) and (d) 
    that the Board will act in accordance with its rules of practice and 
    procedure; (4) changing terms at subsection (3)(e) from ``issued'' to 
    ``entered'' when describing the outcome of the Board's order and from 
    ``administrative'' to ``adjudicative'' when describing ``proceeding;'' 
    and (5) at subsection (3)(f), providing that the Board's action is 
    subject to judicial review by the Utah Supreme Court as prescribed in 
    subsection 78-2-2(3)(e)(iv), rather than by the appropriate district 
    court.
        Utah proposes to add new language to its judicial review of rules 
    and orders provisions at UCA 40-10-30 by adding new language to require 
    that (1) judicial review of adjudicative proceedings is governed by 
    Title 63, Chapter 46b, of UAPA and provisions of Chapter 10 consistent 
    with UAPA and (2) judicial review of the Board's rulemaking procedures 
    and rules adopted under Chapter 10 is governed by Title 63, Chapter 
    46a, Utah Administrative Rulemaking Act. Utah also proposes to revise 
    recodified subsection (3) to require that an appeal from the Board's 
    order will be directly to the Utah Supreme Court and to revise 
    recodified subsection (4) to require that an action or appeal involving 
    the Board's order will be determined as expeditiously as feasible by 
    the Utah Supreme Court in accordance with subsection 78-2-2(3)(e)(iv). 
    Finally, Utah proposes to delete existing subsection (3) pertaining to 
    review of the adjudication of the district court and add new language 
    at subsection (5) to specify that, if the Board fails to perform any 
    act or duty that is not discretionary, the aggrieved person may bring 
    an action in the appropriate district court.
        Utah proposes to repeal UCA 40-10-4, ``Mined land reclamation 
    provisions applied,'' Utah Code Annotated 1953, as enacted by Chapter 
    145, Laws of Utah 1979. Utah also proposes to repeal UCA 40-10-31, 
    ``Chapter's procedures supersede Title 63, Chapter 46b,'' Utah Code 
    Annotated 1953, as enacted by Chapter 161, Laws of Utah 1987.
        Utah proposes to add new language requiring that UCA 40-10-11(5) 
    and UCA 40-10-17(2)(t)(ii) are repealed effective September 30, 2004.
        Utah proposes the following revisions to its plan provisions.
        Utah proposes to revise UCA 40-10-25 pertaining to lands and water 
    eligible for reclamation by deleting, as a priority for the expenditure 
    of AMLR funds, existing subsection (2)(d), which pertains to research 
    and demonstration projects relating to the development of surface 
    mining reclamation and water quality control program methods and 
    techniques, and adding new requirements for eligible lands and water to 
    include lands and water left in an inadequate reclamation status and 
    which meet the criteria of subsection (4) (a) or (b). Utah proposes to 
    allow AMLR funds to be used for reclamation or drainage abatement at 
    sites (1) where operations occurred during the period beginning August 
    4, 1977, and ending before January 21, 1981, and where funds pursuant 
    to a loan or other form of financial guarantee or from any other source 
    are not sufficient to provide for adequate reclamation or abatement at 
    the site and (2) where operations occurred during the period beginning 
    on August 4,1977, and ending on or before November 5, 1990, and where 
    the surety of the mining operator became insolvent during that period, 
    and as of November 5,1990, funds immediately available from proceedings 
    relating to the insolvency, or from any financial guarantee or other 
    source, are not sufficient to provide for adequate reclamation or 
    abatement at the site. Utah proposes to require that, in determining 
    which sites to reclaim, priority be given to those sites in the 
    immediate vicinity of a residential area or which have an adverse 
    economic impact upon a local community. Finally, Utah proposes to 
    provide that (1) surface coal mining operations on lands eligible for 
    remining do not affect eligibility for reclamation and restoration 
    after the release of the bond or deposit for the operation, (2) when 
    the bond or deposit for a coal surface mining operation on lands 
    eligible for remining is forfeited and the amount of the bond or 
    deposit is not sufficient to provide for adequate reclamation or 
    abatement, AMLR funds may be used for reclamation, and (3) regardless 
    of the provisions above that pertain to operations on lands eligible 
    for remining, the Director of the Division can expend monies from the 
    abandoned mine reclamation trust fund for any emergency requiring 
    immediate reclamation.
        Utah proposes to revise UCA 40-10-28, recovery of reclamation costs 
    and liens against reclaimed land, by adding new language at subsection 
    (1)(a)(ii) to require that the sale price for land reclaimed using 
    reclamation funds that is sold to a State or local government for 
    public purposes, may not be less than the actual cost of purchase of 
    the property by the State plus the costs of reclamation. At subsection 
    (2)(a), Utah proposes that a lien shall not be placed against reclaimed 
    land where the surface owner owned the land prior to May 2, 1977, and 
    neither consented to nor participated in nor exercised control over the 
    mining operation that necessitated the reclamation work.
    
    III. Public Comment Procedures
    
        In accordance with the provisions of 30 CFR 732.17(h) and 
    884.15(a), OSM is seeking comments on whether the proposed amendment 
    satisfies the applicable program and plan approval criteria of 30 CFR 
    732.15 and 884.14. If the amendment is deemed adequate, it will become 
    part of the Utah program and plan.
    
    1. Written Comments
    
        Written comments should be specific, pertain only to the issues 
    proposed in this rulemaking, and include explanations in support of the 
    commenter's recommendations. Comments received after the time indicated 
    under DATES or at locations other than the Albuquerque Field Office 
    will not necessarily be considered in the final rulemaking or included 
    in the administrative record.
    
    2. Public Hearing
    
        Persons wishing to testify at the public hearing should contact the 
    person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT by 4 p.m., m.d.t. 
    on May 27, 1994. The location and time of the hearing will be arranged 
    with those persons requesting the hearing. If no one requests an 
    opportunity to testify at the public hearing, the hearing will not be 
    held.
        Filing of a written statement at the time of the hearing is 
    requested as it will greatly assist the transcriber. Submission of 
    written statements in advance of the hearing will allow OSM officials 
    to prepare adequate responses and appropriate questions.
        The public hearing will continue on the specified date until all 
    persons scheduled to testify have been heard. Persons in the audience 
    who have not been scheduled to testify, and who wish to do so, will be 
    heard following those who have been scheduled. The hearing will end 
    after all persons scheduled to testify and persons present in the 
    audience who wish to testify have been heard.
    
    3. Public Meeting
    
        If only one person requests an opportunity to testify at a hearing, 
    a public meeting, rather than a public hearing, may be held. Persons 
    wishing to meet with OSM representatives to discuss the proposed 
    amendment may request a meeting by contacting the person listing under 
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. All such meetings will be open to the 
    public and, if possible, notices of meetings will be posted at the 
    locations listed under ADDRESSES. A written summary of each meeting 
    will be made a part of the administrative record.

    by section 2 of Executive Order 12778 (Civil Justice Reform) and has 
    determined that this rule meets the applicable standards of subsections 
    (a) and (b) of that section. However, these standards are not 
    applicable to the actual language of State regulatory programs and 
    program amendments since each such program is drafted and promulgated 
    by a specific State, not by OSM. Under sections 503 and 505 of SMCRA 
    (30 U.S.C. 1253 and 12550) and the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 
    730.11, 732.15, and 732.17(h)(10), decisions on proposed State 
    regulatory programs and program amendments submitted by the States must 
    be based solely on a determination of whether the submittal is 
    consistent with SMCRA and its implementing Federal regulations and 
    whether the other requirements of 30 CFR Parts 730, 731, and 732 have 
    been met.
    
    3. National Environmental Policy Act
    
        No environmental impact statement is required for this rule since 
    section 702(d) of SMCRA (30 U.S.C. 1292(d)) provides that agency 
    decisions on proposed State regulatory program provisions do not 
    constitute major Federal Actions within the meaning of section 
    102(2)(C) of the National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 
    4332(2)(C)).
    
    4. Paperwork Reduction Act
    
        This rule does not contain information collection requirements that 
    require approval by OMB under the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 
    3507 et seq.).
    
    5. Regulatory Flexibility Act
    
        The Department of the Interior has determined that this rule will 
    not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
    entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). 
    The State submittal that is the subject of this rule is based upon 
    counterpart Federal regulations for which an economic analysis was 
    prepared and certification made that such regulations would not have a 
    significant economic effect upon a substantial number of small 
    entities. Accordingly, this rule will ensure that existing requirements 
    previously promulgated by OSM will be implemented by the State. In 
    making the determination as to whether this rule would have a 
    significant economic impact, the Department relied upon the data and 
    assumptions for the counterpart Federal regulations.
