Abstract
OSM is approving a proposed amendment to the Texas regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the ``Texas program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Texas proposed revisions to the Texas Coal Mining Regulations (TCMR) pertaining to the replacement of water supply where it has been adversely impacted by contamination, diminution, or interruption resulting from surface mining activities. The amendment is intended to revise the Texas program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations.
