SUMMARY: In the July 15, 2009, issue of the Federal Register (74 FR

two actions concerning Nationwide Permit 21, which authorizes
discharges of dredged or fill material into waters of the United States
for surface coal mining activities. The two proposed actions are to
suspend NWP 21 to prohibit its use to authorize surface coal mining
activities in the Appalachian region of Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, and then to modify NWP 21 to
make that prohibition permanent until NWP 21 expires on March 18, 2012.
In the July 15, 2009, notice we also offered commenters opportunity to
request a public hearing. In the August 13, 2009, issue of the Federal
Register (74 FR 40815), we extended the comment period to September 14,
2009. We have received several requests to hold public hearings, and
have determined that hearings would afford us the opportunity to gain
additional information to assist us in reaching decisions on these two
proposed actions. Therefore, we will be holding public hearings in each
of the six affected states. Written comments to supplement the hearing
records may be submitted until October 26, 2009.
