SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Grant Notification

    We are notifying the public that we intend to grant funds to 
eligible applicants for purposes authorized under the Abandoned Mine 
Land (AML) Reclamation Program. Additionally we are notifying the 
public that we intend to grant funds to eligible applicants for 
regulating coal mining within their jurisdictional borders. We will 
award these grants during fiscal year 2016. Eligible applicants are 
those states and tribes with a regulatory program or reclamation plan 
approved under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 
(SMCRA), 30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq., and the State of Tennessee. Under 
Executive Order (E.O.) 12372, we must provide state and tribal 
officials the opportunity to review and comment on proposed federal 
financial assistance activities. Of the eligible applicants, nineteen 
states and tribes do not have single points-of-contact under the E.O. 
12372 review process; therefore, we are required to publish this notice 
as an alternate means of notification.

Description of the AML Program

    SMCRA established the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund to receive 
the AML fees used to finance reclamation of AML coal mine sites. Grants 
to eligible states and tribes are funded from permanent (mandatory) 
appropriations. Recipients use these funds to reclaim the highest 
priority AML coal mine sites that were left abandoned prior to the 
enactment of SMCRA in 1977, eligible non-coal sites, and for non-
reclamation projects.

Description of the Regulatory Program

    Title VII of SMCRA authorizes us to provide grants to states and 
Indian tribes to develop, administer, and enforce state regulatory 
programs addressing surface coal mining operations. Title V and Title 
VII authorize states and tribes to develop regulatory programs pursuant 
to SMCRA, and upon approval of regulatory programs, to assume 
regulatory primacy and act as the regulatory authority, and to 
administer and enforce their respective approved SMCRA regulatory 
programs. Our regulations at 30 CFR Chapter VII implement the 
provisions of SMCRA.
