Abstract
OSM is approving a proposed amendment to the Wyoming regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the ``Wyoming program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Wyoming proposed revisions to its mining statute pertaining to procedures for notifying surface land owners, oil and gas well owners, and oil and gas lease holders, of proposed coal mining operations where the land, well, or lease is situated within or near the permit area in question. The amendment is intended to reduce the costs of the Wyoming program while retaining consistency with the corresponding Federal regulations and SMCRA.
