Alabama Regulatory Program

We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), are approving an amendment to the Alabama regulatory program (Alabama program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). Alabama proposed revisions to its regulations regarding their Surface Mining Commission, who is eligible to apply for and obtain a mining license, Hearing Officers, license fees, and several minor editorial changes throughout the document such as changing "him" to "him or her" and "chairman" to "chair." Alabama revised its program to improve operational efficiency.
