{"abstract":"We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), are proposing changes to our abandoned mine land (AML) reclamation program regulations under title IV of the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). If finalized, the changes would allow states and Indian tribes that have certified correction of all known coal AML problems within their jurisdiction to receive limited liability protection for certain noncoal reclamation activities.","action":"Proposed rule.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR","name":"Interior Department","id":253,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/interior-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/253","parent_id":null,"slug":"interior-department"},{"raw_name":"Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement","name":"Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement Office","id":480,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/surface-mining-reclamation-and-enforcement-office","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/480","parent_id":253,"slug":"surface-mining-reclamation-and-enforcement-office"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2013/02/06/2013-02589.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":700,"title":30},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":875,"title":30},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":879,"title":30},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":884,"title":30},{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":885,"title":30}],"citation":"78 FR 8822","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2013-04-08","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Electronic or written comments: We will accept written comments on the proposed rule on or before April 8, 2013.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":["Docket ID: OSM-2012-0010"],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2013-02589","effective_on":null,"end_page":8831,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2013/02/06/2013-02589.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2013/02/06/2013-02589/abandoned-mine-land-reclamation-program-limited-liability-for-noncoal-reclamation-by-certified","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2013-02589?publication_date=2013-02-06","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2013-02-06/2013-02589/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":10,"page_views":{"count":264,"last_updated":"2026-09-23 00:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2013-02-06/pdf/2013-02589.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":"https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2013-02589.pdf?1360072750","publication_date":"2013-02-06","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2013/02/06/2013-02589.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{"1029-AC66":{"issue":"201410","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1029-AC66/limited-liability","title":"Limited Liability","xml_url":"http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/eAgendaViewRule?pubId=201410&RIN=1029-AC66&operation=OPERATION_EXPORT_XML","priority_category":"Substantive, Nonsignificant"}},"regulation_id_numbers":["1029-AC66"],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"supporting_documents":[],"regulatory_plan":{"html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/regulations/1029-AC66/limited-liability","title":"Limited Liability"},"comments_url":"https://www.regulations.gov/docketBrowser?rpp=50&so=DESC&sb=postedDate&po=0&dct=PS&D=OSM-2012-0010","supporting_documents_count":0,"docket_id":"OSM-2012-0010","regulation_id_number":"1029-AC66","title":"Limited Liability","checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2013-04-10T05:00:14Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":false,"signing_date":null,"start_page":8822,"subtype":null,"title":"Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Program; Limited Liability for Noncoal Reclamation by Certified States and Indian Tribes","toc_doc":"Limited Liability for Noncoal Reclamation by Certified States and Indian Tribes","toc_subject":"Abandoned Mine Land Reclamation Program:","topics":["Administrative practice and procedure","Grant programs-natural resources","Indians-lands","Reporting and recordkeeping requirements","Surface mining","Underground mining"],"type":"Proposed Rule","volume":78}
