Abstract
OSM is approving an amendment to the Oklahoma regulatory program (hereinafter referred to as the ``Oklahoma program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Oklahoma proposed revisions to its regulations pertaining to normal husbandry practices and nonaugmentative reclamation activities. The amendment identifies seeding, planting, fertilizing, and other practices that may be performed without restarting the five-year period of operator responsibility for reclamation success.
