## Abstract

OSM is approving part of a proposed amendment to the Indiana permanent regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the Indiana program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The amendment consists of proposed changes to the Indiana Surface Mining Rules provisions concerning OSM Regulatory Reform I, II and III issues, required program amendments, and State initiatives. This final rule notice is addressing the first of three subparts of the original amendment. The primary focus of the amendments in this subpart is on soil capability and restoration standards, individual civil penalties, significant/nonsignificant revisions, coal exploration, and performance bonds. The amendment is intended to resolve outstanding issues that remain present in the approved Indiana program resulting from changes to the Federal program. The amendment would also incorporate changes desired by the State that address various parts of the State rules.
