Federal Coal Lease Modification

Pursuant to the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and implementing regulations and other applicable statutes, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) announces the availability of the DNA for the modification of Federal coal lease WYW136142 in the Wyoming Powder River Basin, and announces the scheduled date and place for a public hearing pursuant to 43 CFR 3432, 3425.3 and 3425.4. The draft DNA addresses the impacts of modifying this Federal coal lease and mining the modification area as a part of the North Antelope/Rochelle Mine Complex operated by Powder River Coal Company, in Campbell County, WY. The purpose of the hearing is to solicit public comments on the DNA, the fair market value, the maximum economic recovery, and the proposed noncompetitive offer of the coal included in the proposed lease modification. This lease modification is being considered for offer as a result of a request received from Powder River Coal Company on June 19, 2000. The tract as requested includes about 19.97 acres containing approximately 2.5 million tons of Federal coal reserves.
