In accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is proposing to renew an information collection entitled, "30 CFR 822--Special Permanent Program Performance Standards--Operations in Alluvial Valley Floors," under OMB Control Number 1029-0049. This information collection supports implementation of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA) and applies to surface coal mining operations west of the 100th meridian that may affect alluvial valley floors (AVFs). The information collected ensures that mining operations do not interrupt farming on AVFs, do not materially damage the hydrologic systems supplying AVFs, and preserve essential hydrologic functions during mining and reclamation.
The agency’s own summary, as published.
