Abstract
The Secretary of Interior is announcing the approval of an amendment to the Colorado regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the ``Colorado program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA) and the removal of the remaining condition of program approval. The Colorado revisions pertain to the recovery of costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred in connection with administrative and judicial review proceedings under the Colorado program. The amendment revised the Colorado program to be consistent with SMCRA and the corresponding Federal regulations.
