Revisions to the State Program Amendment Process

Wed, Dec 3 2003 11:00:00 GMT

We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), propose to revise our regulations governing the processing of State program amendments submitted by a State for approval under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. When a State with an approved program fails to amend its program as directed, our existing regulations require us to begin proceedings to either enforce that part of the State program that should have been amended, or withdraw approval in whole or in part and implement a Federal program. This rule would provide us with the discretion to consider the entire performance of the State in effectively implementing its program before determining that proceedings leading to Federal enforcement are warranted.
