Abstract
OSM is approving amendment to the Missouri regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the ``Missouri program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Missouri proposed to amend its revegetation success guidelines by revising its special requirements for ground cover density on previously mined areas in the phase III revegetation success standards sections of its guidelines for pasture and adding special requirements for ground cover density on previously mined areas in the phase III revegetation success standards sections of its guidelines for wildlife habitat, woodland, industrial/ commercial, residential, and recreation lad uses. The amendment is intended to revise the Missouri program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations and improve operational efficiency.
