Abstract
We 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 rules about placement of spoil outside the mined- out area, clarification of self- bonding requirements, approving permit revisions, incremental bonds, incidental operation changes, and termination of jurisdiction to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations, provide additional safeguards and clarify ambiguities.
