NOTE: Preambles will be added to our website. They provide the basis and purpose for each rule or proposal. Usually preambles include a discussion of the background and major issues involved, any significant differences between a proposed and final rule, a response to substantive public comments received, and other information the agency considers appropriate. If you are interested in a preamble, contact Debbie McGinnis, OSM Librarian at DMcGinnis@osmre.gov or telephone 303-293–5073 or Joyce Scall at jzscall@aol.com or telephone 202-686-9138.
