Supplementary Information
We are making available the FEIS for revisions to OSM's permanent program regulations implementing section 552(e) of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 and an interpretive rule concerning the applicability of the section 522(e) prohibitions to subsidence resulting from underground coal mining. 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.
