Ohio Regulatory Program

OSM is approving in part and deferring in part proposed Program Amendment Number 63 to the Ohio permanent regulatory and Abandoned Mined Land reclamation programs (hereinafter referred to as the Ohio programs) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). The amendment was initiated by Ohio and is intended to reduce and reorganize the staffing of the Ohio programs in response to recent drops in Ohio coal production. The amendment would abolish 28 Ohio staff positions and would reorganize the remaining staff positions to assume the existing job duties. Program Amendment Number 63 does not propose any revisions to Ohio's coal mining law or rules.
