## Abstract

OSM is approving a proposed amendment to the Iowa regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the ``Iowa program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Iowa proposed revisions to its rules pertaining to the prompt repair or compensation for material damage caused by subsidence to non-commercial buildings and occupied residential dwellings and related structures and the replacement of drinking, domestic and residential water supplies that have been adversely impacted by underground coal mining operations. The amendment is intended to revise the Iowa program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations.
