The New Mexico Mining Commission was created in the 1993 New Mexico Mining Act as the rulemaking and administrative review body for the Mining Act. The Commission adopts all regulations which are necessary to implement the Act. After receiving a petition to change or adopt regulations, the Commission holds a public hearing and decides which regulations, if any, to adopt, and what, if any, regulatory changes are appropriate.<\/p>\n
Anyone affected by actions or rulings related to the Mining Act regulatory program may appeal that action to the Commission if they do not agree with the action or ruling provisions. The Commission will then hold a public hearing on the appeal, and decide to uphold or overturn the action. The Commission may also direct the regulators (MMD) to address certain issues related to Mining Act implementation.<\/p>\n
