Abstract
OSM is approving, with certain exceptions, a proposed amendment to the Missouri regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the ``Missouri program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The proposed amendment consists of a proposed set of revegetation success guidelines and a rulemaking that eliminates the reference to an earlier set of guidelines that was never approved by OSM. The amendment is intended to revise the Missouri program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations.
