Abstract
OSM is approving a proposed amendment to the Ohio regulatory program (Ohio program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Ohio is proposing revisions to section 1501:13-1- 04 of the Ohio Administrative Code (OAC) as it relates to exemptions for coal extraction incidental to government-financed highway or other construction. The amendment is intended to revise the Ohio program to include counterparts to the recently promulgated ``AML Enhancement Rule,'' which revised the Federal regulations at 30 CFR 707.5 and added a new provision, at 30 CFR 874.17.
