30 CFR 874.16 – Contractor Eligibility and the Abandoned Mine Land Contractor Information Form

30 CFR 874.16 requires that every successful bidder for an AML contract must be eligible under 30 CFR 773 at the time of contract award to receive a permit or conditional permit to conduct surface coal mining operations. This connection to our permit eligibility rules means a successful bidder for an AML contract is subject to the same eligibility rules as an applicant for a surface coal mining permit. This requirement applies to all AML contractors and any subcontractor a contractor might employ. It is under the permit eligibility requirements that successful bidders for AML contracts and State AML contracting officers and program staff incur information collection burdens. OSM or the State AML authority must perform an eligibility evaluation using OSM's automated Applicant Violator System to ensure that the bidder has no unabated or uncorrected violations of Title IV or V of SMCRA.
