Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Petition To Reclassify the Argentine Population of the Broad-Snouted

Therefore, we are initiating a status review of the broadsnouted caiman to determine if reclassification of the population in Argentina, as petitioned, is warranted under the Act.

West Virginia Regulatory Program

Mon, Jun 16 2008 11:00:00 GMT

We are approving, on an interim basis, an amendment to the West Virginia regulatory program (the West Virginia program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). West Virginia revised its Surface Coal Mining and Reclamation Act to effect changes concerning the special reclamation tax and other issues. The tax provisions of the amendment are intended to increase and extend the special reclamation tax, and create the Special Reclamation Water Trust Fund for the purpose of designing, constructing and maintaining water treatment systems on forfeited sites.

We are approving the reinstatement of the seven cents per ton special reclamation tax, its increase to seven and fourtenths cents per ton, as well as the creation of the Special Reclamation Water Trust Fund, on an interim basis, with our approval becoming effective upon publication of this interim rule.
