## Abstract

We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), are approving a proposed amendment to the Wyoming regulatory program (the "Wyoming program") under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). Wyoming proposed revisions to its Coal Rules about groundwater and surface water hydrology, coal mine waste impoundments, alluvial valley floors and threatened and endangered plant species. The State intended to revise its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations, provide additional safeguards and clarify ambiguities.
