I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: In subtitle A of title IV, add at the end the following new chapter: CHAPTER 8--SURFACE ESTATE OWNER…

I respect my good friend and colleague from Colorado. Part of the goal of this amendment is to ensure that the full area of disruption receives notification. So where you have a suburban subdevelopment, it is one thing for the owner under…
