## Abstract

The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is approving an amendment to the Wyoming regulatory program under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Wyoming proposed revisions to and additions of rules for fish and wildlife habitat and resource information, shrub density, certification of maps by a registered professional engineer, geologic descriptions, topsoil substitutes, special bituminous coal mines, archaeological and historic resources, permit transfers, civil penalties, and miscellaneous changes to Appendix A of Wyoming's rules, which concern vegetations sampling methods and reclamation success standards for surface coal mining operations. Wyoming intends to revise its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations and SMCRA.
