## Abstract

The Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) is announcing the approval of an amendment to the New Mexico regulatory program (the "New Mexico program") under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act) and the removal of the remaining condition of program approval. New Mexico proposed addition of rules and revision of a statute concerning the award of costs and expenses, including attorney fees, incurred in connection with the administrative and judicial appeals process. New Mexico revised its program to be consistent with SMCRA and the corresponding Federal regulations.
