The review was conducted to determine, <br />pursuant to Title 30 Code of Federal P.eguLations, Parts 740 and 741 (30 CFR <br />740 and 741), if the application was complete. Since the plan addresses <br />mining iiew areas, it must comply with the requirements of 30 CFR Section <br />751.13, Part 742, and fart 744. <br />Our_re_view slows Chat_CWI's submittal did nut answer comPl~te~.all of the <br />questions sent to CWI_by OSM on Sept. 24, 191979.
