Public Participation in Coal Leasing

This final rule clarifies terms of a settlement agreement and a March 1995 law. In the settlement agreement, we agreed to establish procedures where the public may participate in the regional coal leasing process by regulations. In addition, this final rule amends the regulations to conform to statutory changes under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 exempting several types of meetings from Federal Advisory Committee Act requirements. This final rule exempts Regional Coal Team Meetings from the requirements of the Federal Advisory Committee Act in accordance with this law.
