OSMRE National Library
The OSMRE National Library is a publicly available Federal resource which supports technical inquiries related to coal mining regulation documentation, and acquires and maintains research development publications and materials aimed at evaluating impacts associated with mining.
The Library operates as part of the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement to provide access to technical and legal information for the agency, states, tribes, industry, citizen groups and the public in upholding the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). It provides reference and research assistance and referrals to other libraries and agencies when necessary.
