Abstract
OSM is approving a proposed amendment to the Texas regulatory program and abandoned mine land reclamation (hereinafter referred to as the ``Texas program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The amendment consists of recodification of the Texas Coal Mining Regulations into the Texas Administrative Code at Title 16, Chapter 12. The amendment is intended to conform the Texas Coal Mining Regulations to Texas Administrative Code formatting syntax, to correct typographical errors, and to allow for the publication of the rules in the Texas Administrative Code in full text rather than by reference.
