Sec. 292.65  Plan of operations--suspension.

    (a) The authorized officer may suspend mineral operations due to an 
operator's noncompliance with applicable statutes, regulations, or terms 
and conditions of the approved plan of operations.
    (1) In those cases that present a threat of imminent harm to public 
health, safety, or the environment, or where such harm is already 
occurring, the authorized officer may take immediate action to stop the 
threat or damage without prior notice. In such case, written notice and 
explanation of the action taken shall be given the operator as soon as 
reasonably practicable following the suspension.
    (2) In those cases that do not present a threat of imminent harm to 
public health, safety, or the environment, the authorized officer must 
first notify the operator in writing of the basis for the suspension and 
provide the operator with reasonably sufficient time to respond to the 
notice of the authorized officer or to bring the mineral operations into 
conformance with applicable laws, regulations, or the terms and 
conditions of the approved plan of operations.
    (b) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the authorized 
officer shall notify the operator not less than 30 days prior to the 
date of the proposed suspension.
