## Abstract

OSM is approving a proposed amendment to the Alabama abandoned mine land reclamation plan (hereinafter referred to as the ``Alabama plan'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Alabama proposed revisions and additions to its plan pertaining to contractor bidder eligibility screening, exclusion of certain noncoal sites from reclamation, requirement of form submission upon project completion, and removal of fourth priority for noncoal reclamation sites. The amendment is intended to revise the Alabama plan to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations and SMCRA.
