The original mining plan at the Bowie No. 2 mine for a portion of Federal lease <br />COC-61209 was approved on October 18, 2000. Since that approval there have been two <br />(2) mining plan modifications at the Bowie No. 2 mine. A mining plan modification for a <br />portion of Federal lease COC-61209 was approved on May 11, 2001. A mining plan <br />modification for the remainder of Federal lease COC-61209 was approved on November <br />16, 2001. <br />Based on a review of the activities associated with the permit revision, OSM has <br />determined that the proposal meets the requirements of 30 CFR 746.18(d)(3)(1). <br />Therefore, the proposed permit revision does not constitute a mining plan action <br />requiring Secretarial approval. <br />OSM's decision was based solely upon the Federal regulations under 30 CFR PART 746 <br />and not the technical aspects of the revision application itself. Consequently, OSM's <br />decision does not relieve CDRMS from coordinating the review and approval of PR-12 <br />with other Federal agencies for compliance with other Federal regulations. <br />Please notify the applicant of our decision on this matter. <br />Should you have any questions regarding this letter or approval, please contact Carl R. <br />Johnston, Colorado Federal Lands coordinator, at (303) 296-5038. <br />Sincerely, <br />i <br />Robert Postle <br />Manager, Field Operations Branch <br />cc: BLM - Colorado State Office <br />BLM - Uncompahgre Field Office <br />USDA Forest Service - Paonia Ranger District
