<description>&lt;p&gt;S. 2448 would amend the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to make certain technical corrections.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;h2 id=&quot;toc0&quot;&gt; Detailed Summary &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary of that version is repeated here.)&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 Technical Corrections Act - Amends the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 to modify procedures governing payments of moneys derived from reclamation fees to certified states and Indian tribes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Requires that such payments: (1) be distributed as direct transfers of funds rather than in the form of grants; and (2) be made at the same time as specified payments from the Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund are made available, including without fiscal year limitation.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;!--Leave in the 'summary' tags if you want the latest summary from the Congressional Research Service automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;toc1&quot;&gt; Status of the Legislation &lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Latest Major Action: 9/16/2008: Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 983.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;!-- Leave in the 'status' tags if you want the latest reported status from THOMAS automatically to replace the text between the tags once it becomes available. --&gt;

&lt;h2 id=&quot;toc2&quot;&gt; Points in Favor &lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;!-- First editor: Go ahead and take out the sentence in parentheses, and this notice! --&gt;
