We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE), are announcing receipt of a proposed amendment to the Illinois regulatory program (hereinafter, the Illinois program) under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA or the Act). The amendment proposes the removal of revegetation success standards and statistically valid sampling techniques from inclusion in the approved regulatory program as allowed by the 2006 Topsoil Redistribution and Revegetation Success Standards Final Rule. This amendment also updates references and makes minor editorial changes. This document gives the times and locations that the Illinois program and this proposed amendment to that program are available for your inspection, the comment period during which you may submit written comments on the amendment, and the procedures that we will follow for the public hearing, if one is requested.
