Pennsylvania Regulatory Program
OSM is announcing the receipt of a proposed amendment to the Pennsylvania regulatory program (Pennsylvania program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA), 30 U.S.C. 1201 et seq., as amended. Pennsylvania has submitted this proposed amendment to reflect changes made to regulations in the Pennsylvania program through the Department's Regulatory Basics Initiative (RBI). Under this initiative, regulations were revised because they were considered to be unclear, unnecessary or more stringent than the corresponding Federal regulation. The RBI resulted in the rulemaking in Coal Mining Permitting and Performance Standards, Pennsylvania Bulletin, Vol. 28, No. 19, May 9, 1998. The proposed amendment revises certain portions of 25 Pennsylvania Code Chapter 86, Surface and Underground Mining: General; Chapter 87, Surface Mining of Coal; Chapter 88, Anthracite Coal; Chapter 89, Underground Mining of Coal and Coal Preparation Facilities; and Chapter 90, Coal Refuse Disposal. The amendments are intended to revise the Pennsylvania program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations.
