The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) has partly approved and partly denied amendments to Montana's regulatory program regarding surface mining, which sought to alter the definition of "material damage" and change permit requirements for hydrologic information. These amendments were proposed following legislation passed by the Montana Legislature. OSMRE disapproved the changes related to how material damage is defined concerning hydrologic balance and subsidence but approved the definition regarding alluvial valley floors and the restructuring of a prior definition. The action reflects careful consideration to ensure state regulations align with the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act and federal regulations.

The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has revoked Samreen Riaz, D.D.S.'s registration to handle controlled substances due to her lack of authority to practice dentistry in California, where her DEA registration was held. The decision was made following the Dental Board of California's revocation of her dental license, effective September 1, 2023. Riaz did not respond to the Order to Show Cause (OSC), resulting in her default and the revocation of her DEA registration. The DEA's action ensures that individuals without the necessary state licenses cannot handle controlled substances, maintaining compliance with federal regulations.
