Description of the AML Reclamation
Program
Title IV of SMCRA established the
Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund to
receive the AML fees collected by
OSMRE from coal operators that, along
with funds from other sources, are used
to finance grants to eligible States and
Tribes for the reclamation of AML coal
mine sites and for certain other
purposes. Grant recipients use these
funds to reclaim the highest priority
AML coal mine sites that were
abandoned before the enactment of
SMCRA in 1977; to reclaim eligible noncoal sites; for projects that address the
impacts of mineral development; and
for eligible non-reclamation projects. In
addition to the BIL AML program
described below, the BIL also amended
Title IV of SMCRA to extend OSMRE’s
AML fee collection authority through
September 30, 2034, reduced AML fee
rates, and extended distribution of AML
fee-based grants to eligible States and
Tribes through Fiscal Year 2035.

Description of the Regulatory Program
Title V of SMCRA authorizes OSMRE
to provide grants to States and Tribes to
develop, administer, and enforce State
and Tribal regulatory programs that
address, among other things, the
disturbances from coal mining
operations. Additionally, upon our
approval of a State or Tribal regulatory
program, title V authorizes that State or
Tribe to assume regulatory primacy, act
as the regulatory authority within the
State or Tribe, and administer and
enforce its approved regulatory
program. These provisions of SMCRA
are implemented by our regulations at
title 30 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, chapter VII.
Description of the BIL AML Program
The BIL, also known as the
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act,
was enacted on November 15, 2021. In
addition to amending Title IV of
SMCRA, the BIL authorized and
appropriated $11.293 billion for deposit
into the Abandoned Mine Reclamation
Fund. Of the $11.293 billion
appropriated, approximately $10.873
billion will be distributed to eligible
States and Tribes on an equal annual
basis over a 15-year period, which
amounts to an annual distribution of
approximately $725 million per year. In
addition, the BIL provides discretion to
prioritize BIL-funded projects that
employ current and former employees
of the coal industry.
BIL AML grants will be distributed to
eligible State and Tribal reclamation
programs for AML and water
reclamation projects under SMCRA.
These projects will abate and eliminate
physical hazards to public health,
safety, and the environment caused by
AML sites, including emergencies.
These projects also support
communities in achieving their
priorities and needs through
collaboration and consensus-building
for local AML projects. BIL AML grants
may also be used by State and Tribal
reclamation programs to provide safe
drinking water in areas where water
supplies are contaminated due to coal
mines abandoned before the passage of
SMCRA. As described in Executive
Order 14008 and Executive Order
14052, BIL AML grants are also subject
to the Justice40 Initiative, which
supports environmental justice by
working toward the goal that 40 percent
of the overall benefits of certain Federal
investments flow to disadvantaged
communities that are marginalized,
underserved, and overburdened by
pollution. By funding additional
reclamation projects, allowing States

and Tribes the discretion to prioritize
projects employing current and former
coal industry employees, and allocating
benefits to disadvantaged communities,
BIL AML grants will benefit all who live
and work in and near America’s
coalfield communities by creating jobs,
reviving aquatic life in mining-polluted
streams, and restoring degraded lands to
a usable condition.
