## Abstract

OSM is approving, with an exception and additional requirements, a proposed amendment to the Utah regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the ``Utah program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Utah proposed revisions to and additions of rules pertaining to retention of highwalls in the postmining landscape. Utah submitted the amendment with the intent of revising its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations, clarifying ambiguities, and improving operational efficiency.
