aid the regulatory authority in the
decision-making process to approve or
disapprove a request.
Any person having an interest which
is or may be adversely affected has the
right to petition the regulatory authority
to have an area designated as unsuitable
for surface coal mining operations, or to
have an existing designation terminated.
At a minimum, the regulatory authority
requires the following information:
(a) Petitioner’s name, address, and
telephone number are needed to
identify the individual, company, etc.,
requesting the designation or
termination.
(b) Identification of the area is
required to determine the location of the
area, its size and relationship to the
section 522 areas.
(c) Petitioner’s interest is needed to
determine the status of petitioners for
the validity of acceptance of the
petition.
(d) Description of how mining of the
area has affected, or how mining may
affect people or the environment is
needed to justify the unsuitability
petition.
(e) Allegations of facts and supporting
evidence are needed to comply with
requirements of section 522(a) and (b).
To terminate designations of lands as
unsuitable for surface mining
operations, the regulatory authority
must be provided with additional
information as follows:
(a) Where the unsuitability
determination was based on State or
local land use plans, fragile or historic
lands, loss of land productivity, or lands
subject to natural hazards:
1. Discuss the nature or abundance of
the protected resource affected.
Discuss the resources or conditions
not being affected by mining operations
in the surrounding area to ensure
adequate protection of resources.
(b) Where the unsuitability petition
was based on a finding that reclamation
was not technologically or economically
feasible, a demonstration that
reclamation is now technologically and
economically feasible. This is needed to
determine the level of resources and the
basis for termination of a designation.
The regulatory authority will use this
information to identify, locate, compare
and contrast the area, resources and
conditions for the purpose of complying
with section 522.
Title of Collection: 30 CFR part 769—
Petition process for designation of
Federal lands as unsuitable for all or
certain types of surface coal mining
operations and for termination of
previous designations.
