## Abstract

We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), are approving an amendment to the Ohio Abandoned Mine Land (AML) Reclamation Plan (Ohio Plan or Plan) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). Ohio proposed to amend its existing plan to reflect statutory, regulatory, policy, procedural, and organizational changes made since it was originally approved in 1982. Ohio also submitted relevant statutory provisions amended by the State legislature in 2016, as well as draft statutory revisions regarding what land and water resources are eligible for Federal grant funds and other proposed amendments for consistency with SMCRA, for OSMRE's review and consideration.
