Abstract
OSM is announcing the approval of a proposed amendment to the Ohio regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the Ohio program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The proposed amendment is intended to revise Ohio's ``Guidelines for Evaluating Revegetation Success'' to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations. These guidelines describe the sampling methods which Ohio proposes to use to evaluate revegetation success prior to bond release on areas with different postmining land uses.
