Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement Office August 27, 2008 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

We are approving, with certain exceptions, a proposed amendment to the Utah regulatory program (the ``Utah program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). Utah proposed to revise provisions of the Utah Code Annotated pertaining to small operator assistance and permit applications. Utah intended to revise its program to be consistent with SMCRA and to make editorial changes.
