Notice of the proposed decision will be <br />published in the Craig Daily Press and Rio Blanco Herald-Times as soon as possible. The first <br />publication will initiate the thirty (30) day public comment period for the Division's decision. <br /> <br />Documentation must be submitted to the Division demonstrating that a copy of the approved revision <br />application was sent to the Office of Surface Mining and the Bureau of Land Management. The <br />material should be sent within 15 days of final approval. <br /> <br />Please be advised that federal mine plan approval may need to be obtained from the Office of Surface <br />Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM). OSM approval, in addition to State permit approval, <br />is required, before operations affecting federal coal may commence. <br /> <br />Please refer to the Performance Bond heading on the enclosed proposed decision form. If the amount <br />of Bond Held equals or exceeds the Revised Liability, you need not submit additional bond. <br />However, if the Revised Liability exceeds the Bond Held, please submit additional bond or rider to <br />your existing bond that equals or exceeds the Revised Liability. This Permit Revision must not be <br />implemented until this proposed decision becomes final and until any required increase in bond is <br />submitted to and approved by the Division. <br />
