Wyoming coal drilling rules get a typo correction, but the exceptions remain
What happened
Wyoming's rules for coal exploration by drilling are getting a minor update to fix typographical errors. This means the state's coal program will officially correct mistakes in its regulations that were previously noted by federal regulators.
Why it matters
This document is a bureaucratic housekeeping item. It shows the slow, detailed process of how federal and state agencies coordinate on environmental regulations. The federal government previously approved Wyoming's coal drilling rules, but with specific exceptions that the state still needs to address. This update only fixes typos, not the substance of those exceptions.
The signal
Watch for a future amendment from Wyoming that addresses the substantive exceptions the federal government still has with the state's coal drilling rules.
