We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), are announcing receipt of a proposed amendment to the Kentucky regulatory program, hereinafter the Kentucky program, under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). Through this proposed amendment, Kentucky seeks to revise its program to include statutory changes that remove the requirement to permit the area overlying underground mine works and amend related public notification requirements. Kentucky also seeks to revise or add administrative regulations that implement the statutory changes, define necessary terms, prescribe how underground permitting would be addressed moving forward, remove the requirement to submit a preliminary application, and update required forms. This document gives the times and locations that the Kentucky program and this proposed amendment to that program are available for your inspection, the comment period during which you may submit written comments on the amendment, and the procedures that we will follow for the public hearing, if one is requested.
The agency’s own summary, as published.
