We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), are approving an amendment to the Alabama regulatory program (Alabama program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). At its own initiative, Alabama proposed revisions to its regulations regarding permit fees and civil penalties to improve operational efficiency.
