ATHLETES-Socc- 538-470- Extends public comment period on proposed mining claim fee rule pleted essay and application to: Youth Upland Game Hunt, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, do Dean Mitchell, Suite 2110 Box BLM The Bureau of Land Management announced today that it is extending for 90 days the public comment period on a proposed rule to reorganize and simplify the agencys mining claim fee regulations. The deadline for submitting comments is now January 24, 2000, the BLM said in a notice published in todays Federal Register. This extension gives all interested parties more time to review the proposed rule, said BLM Deputy Director Tom Fry. "The BLM welcomes additional public input on this proposal, which is ended to make our mining-clairegulations easier for the public to use and understand. It does this by using plain language, consolidating related regulations, clarifying certain provisions, and by eliminating duplicate and obsolete provisions Besides reorganizing the regulations and putting them in plain language, the proposed rule implements mining-relate- d legislation recently passed by Congress. Reflecting the provisions of the legislation, the proposed rule extends for three years the agency's authority to charge fees in connection with the locating, recording, and maintaining of mining claims or sites. These fees fund the agencys mining law administration work. The proposed rule.-i- n soosedance Consistent with the 146301, 1594 W.

Under the proposed rule, published in the Aug. 27 Federal Register. a claimant who locates a mining claim or site would have to pay - at tlie time of recording each claim a onetime $25 location fee, a onetime $10 recording fee, and an initial $100 maintenance fee. The maintenance fee is charged annually unless one has a small miner or other waiver. The maintenance fee of $100 per claim or per site must be paid by Sept. 1 each year. 60-da- y no opportunity to correct defects, causing them to forfeit their mining claims or sites. The proposed rule also contains language that defines the amount of mill site land that may be located in association with mining claims. The public now has an additional 90 days to comment on the proposed rule. Copies ofthe proposal are available from the BLMs State Offices and its Washington, D.C., Office; in addition, the complete text of the proposed rule has been posted on the BLMs Internet Home Page (www.blm.gov). The text is also accessible from the Federal Register Web site (wwwjwcess.gpo.gov). congres- sional legislation, the proposed rule also gives claimants 60 days to correct a defective request for a fee waiver that exempts small miners from die maintenance fee. (A small miner holds no more than 10 mining claims.) Under this provision, a claimant who has filed a fee waiver request but one that the BLM on time will later finds to be defective have 60 days from the time of notification to fix the defect.
