  <description><![CDATA[ This action extends the comment period an additional 30 days 
on the Department of the Interior's Office of Hearings and Appeals' 
proposal to amend its rules governing who may receive an award of costs 
and expenses, including attorney fees, under section 525(e) of the 
Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The 
proposed amendment provides that an applicant for a permit may only 
receive an award from the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and 
Enforcement (OSM), if OSM denies an application in bad faith and for 
the purpose of harassing or embarrassing the applicant.
