## Abstract

The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) is approving a proposed amendment to the North Dakota regulatory program (hereinafter, the ``North Dakota program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). North Dakota proposed revisions to rules pertaining to a proposal to eliminate the requirement for companies to submit a copy of the Federal Coal Production and Reclamation Fee Report, changes to revegetation success standards, and a new rule on inspection frequency for inactive mines. The amendment revised the State program to improve operational efficiency.
