Abstract
The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is approving an amendment to the Indiana regulatory program (Indiana program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Indiana proposed reference changes in its surface and underground mining rules concerning application requirements for geology descriptions and public participation. Indiana also proposed to add a new provision to its rule pertaining to surface mining application requirements for postmining land use information. Indiana intends to revise its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations.
