30 CFR Part 886
Abandoned Mine Reclamation Grant Procedures

ACTION: Final rule; correction.  

SUMMARY: This document contains corrections to the final regulations which were published Wednesday,
February 22, 1995, (60 FR 9974). The regulations related to State grant closeout reports.  

EFFECTIVE DATE: June 6, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Both the preamble to the proposed rule published on November 8, 1993 (58
FR 59334), and the preamble to the final rule advised that a revised paragraph 886.23(b) would be added to Sec.
886.23 which would require, at the completion of a grant, agency submission of closeout reports as specified by
OSM. Specifically, paragraph 886.23(b) required submission of Form OSM-76 upon project completion. This
submission was deemed necessary to comply with the requirement in section 403(c) of the Surface Mining Control
and Reclamation Act of 1977, Public Law 95-87, as amended, that on a regular basis OSM note on its inventory
those projects completed under Title IV. However, paragraph 886.23(b) of the final rule language was inadvertently
published without the reference to "upon project completion." The purpose of this document is to reiterate the intent
of the regulation which is that Form OSM-76 and any other closeout reports be filed upon project completion, and to
correct paragraph 886.23(b) to include the phrase "upon project completion." 

 Accordingly, the publication on February 22, 1995, of the final regulations which were the subject of FR Doc. 95-
4259, is corrected as follows:
 
SEC. 886.23 -- [Corrected]  

   Paragraph 1.On page 9983, in the first column, in Sec. 886.23, paragraph (b), line one, the words "At the
completion of each grant" is corrected to read "Upon project completion." 

Dated: May 30, 1995.
