## Abstract

We are approving a proposed amendment to the Utah regulatory program (the "Utah program") under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). Utah proposed revisions to and additions of rules about water replacement, blaster certification, standards for surety companies, and inspection and enforcement. Utah revised its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations, provide additional safeguards, clarify ambiguities, and improve operational efficiency.
