Iowa Regulatory Program

OSM is announcing receipt of revisions to a previously proposed amendment to the Iowa regulatory program (Iowa program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). Iowa proposes revisions to its revegetation success guidelines concerning the definition for ``prime farmland,'' plant species for recreational and wildlife areas, reference areas, normal husbandry practices, minimum planting arrangements for recreational, wildlife, and forested lands, and control area adjustments of prime farmland. Iowa intends to revise its program to be consistent with the corresponding Federal regulations and to improve operational efficiency.
