ACTION:
Correcting amendments.
SUMMARY:
MSHA published a final rule in the Federal Register on April 18, 2008 (73 FR 21182) on Sealing of Abandoned Areas in underground coal mines. The final rule incorrectly listed cross-references in § 75.336(b)(1) and § 75.336(c). This document corrects the final rule by revising these sections.
DATES:
Effective Date: The corrections are effective May 14, 2008.

End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental InformationSUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
As published, the preamble incorrectly referenced a section of the final rule. On page 21193, in the first column, in the first line, “§ 75.335(a)(1)(iii)” should be “§ 75.336(a)(1)(iii).” The sentence should read “Under final § 75.336(a)(1)(iii) for less than 120 psi seals constructed after April 18, 2008, the District Manager cannot approve different sampling locations and frequencies in the ventilation plan until after a minimum of 14 days and after seals have reached design strength.”
In addition, the final rule incorrectly listed cross-references in § 75.336(b)(1) and § 75.336(c). This document corrects the final rule by revising these sections.
