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). The Indiana Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) proposed revisions to the Indiana program rules pertaining to permitting, collateral bonds, performance bond release, and citizen's request for state inspection. The revisions mainly relate to the public participation and administrative requirements of these rules. Indiana intends to revise its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations.
