We are approving changes to statutory provisions that involve civil penalty fund distributions, self-bonding, and major permit revisions related to underground mining.

Utah Regulatory Program
We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), are not approving the State of Utah's proposed amendment to the Utah regulatory program ("the Utah program") under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 ("SMCRA" or "the Act"). In May of 2011, an environmental advocacy group notified OSMRE that the Utah legislature modified its Judicial Code of the Utah Code Annotated by adding a new section that requires plaintiffs who seek an administrative stay or preliminary injunction in an environmental action to first post a surety bond or cash equivalent. After determining that the legislative change would affect the implementation of the Utah program, OSMRE notified the Utah Division of Oil, Gas and Mining ("DOGM" or "the Division") that the changes to the State law must be submitted as a proposed Utah program amendment. DOGM subsequently submitted this amendment proposing to incorporate legislative changes made to the Utah program.
