Wyoming Permanent Regulatory Program

الملخص

The Secretary of the Interior is announcing the approval, with certain exceptions, of proposed amendments to the Wyoming permanent regulatory program (hereinafter, the ``Wyoming program'') under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act), and the corresponding modification of the one remaining condition of program approval. The amendments primarily address the recovery of costs and expenses, including attorney's fees, incurred in connection with administrative review proceedings under the Wyoming program, but they also include provisions pertaining to formal and informal administrative reviews in general, intervention in administrative review proceedings, and the definition of toxic materials. The amendments are intended to revise the Wyoming program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal standards and to clarify State operating procedures.
