Wyoming Regulatory Program

Document Number: 2013-03365

Type: Rule

Date: 2013-02-14

Agency: Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement

We are issuing a final decision on an amendment to the Wyoming regulatory program (the ``Wyoming program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (``SMCRA'' or ``the Act''). Our decision approves in part and disapproves in part the amendment. Wyoming proposes revisions and additions to rules concerning noncoal mine waste, valid existing rights, and individual civil penalties. Wyoming revised its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations and SMCRA, clarify ambiguities, and improve operational efficiency.

Montana revised its program to clarify ambiguities and improve operational efficiency.
