Abstract
We are approving a request by Pennsylvania to remove a required amendment to Pennsylvania's regulatory program (the "Pennsylvania program") regulations under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). The provision that we are removing required Pennsylvania to demonstrate that all applications for surface mining permits in Pennsylvania include the specific information for all cessation orders received by the applicant and anyone linked to the applicant through ownership and control, prior to the date of the application.
