This Notice also lists the following 

information: 

Title of Proposal: Disclosure of 

Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMS) 

Rates. 

OMB Control Number, if applicable: 

2502–0322. 

Description of the need for the 

information and proposed use: The 

Housing and Urban-Rural Recovery Act 

of 1983 amended the National Housing 

Act to permit FHA to insure adjustable 

rate mortgages (ARMS). On March 10, 

2004, the Department of Housing and 

Urban Development published a final 

rule in the Federal Register amending 

the mortgage insurance regulations to 

implement additional product offerings 

known as ‘‘hybrid’’ adjustable rate 

mortgages. The Federal Housing 

Administration (FHA) has insured 

ARMS since 1984; however, these were 

limited to 1-year ARMS. FHA is now 

offering mortgage insurance on 3-year, 

5-year, 7-year and 10-year ARMS. The 

terms of all ARMS insured by HUD-FHA 

are required to be fully disclosed as part 

of the loan approval process. 

Additionally, an annual disclosure is 

required to reflect the adjustment to the 

interest rate and monthly mortgage 

amount. Lenders must electronically 

indicate that the mortgage to be insured 

is an ARM and the term or type of the 

ARM. 

Agency form numbers, if applicable: 

None. 

Estimation of the total numbers of 

hours needed to prepare the information 

collection including number of 

respondents, frequency of response, and 

hours of response: The estimated 

number of respondents is 20,000, 

frequency of response is annually, the 

total annual responses are 220,000, time 

per response is estimated at three 

minutes and the estimated annual 

burden hours requested is 11,000. 

Status of the proposed information 

collection: Extension of a currently 

approved collection. 

Authority: The Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995, 44 U.S.C., Chapter 35, as 

amended. 

Dated: March 23, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: A 

maintenance tract is a parcel of land 


jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 60 / Thursday, March 29, 2007 / Notices 14829 

containing Federal coal reserves that 

can be leased to maintain production at 

an existing mine. The BLM received 

four Federal coal LBAs for use as 

maintenance tracts in Campbell County, 

Wyoming. 

On June 6, 2004, RAG Wyoming Land 

Company (RAG) applied for a 

maintenance coal lease tract of 

approximately 1,578.74 acres 

(approximately 200 million tons of inplace coal) adjacent to the Belle Ayr 

Mine. RAG subsequently sold the Belle 

Ayr Mine and its associated interests to 

Foundation Coal Holdings, Inc. 

(Foundation). From this point forward, 

the applicant for the Belle Ayr North 

Tract will be referred to as Foundation. 

The tract, which is referred to as the 

Belle Ayr North Tract, has been 

assigned case number WYW161248. The 

Belle Ayr North Tract includes the 

following lands in Campbell County, 

Wyoming: 

T. 48 N., R. 71 W., 6th PM, Wyoming 

Section 18: Lots 17, 18, 19 (W1⁄2, SE1⁄4);

per year, the coal included in the Belle 

Ayr North Tract would extend the life 

of the Belle Ayr Mine by as many as 8 

years. 

On February 10, 2006, Ark Land 

Company (Ark) applied for a 

maintenance coal tract of approximately 

1,151 acres (approximately 57 million 

tons of in-place coal) adjacent to the 

Coal Creek Mine. The tract, which is 

referred to as the West Coal Creek Tract, 

has been assigned case number 

WYW172585. The West Coal Creek

the Coal Creek Mine by as many as 13 

years. 

On March 15, 2006, Caballo Coal 

Company (Caballo) applied for a 

maintenance coal tract of approximately 

777.485 acres (approximately 87.5 

million tons of in-place coal) adjacent to 

the Caballo Mine. The tract, which is 

referred to as the Caballo West Tract, 

has been assigned case number 

WYW172585. The Caballo West Tract 

includes the following lands in 

Campbell County, Wyoming: 

T. 48 N., R. 71 W., 6th PM, Wyoming 

Section 7: Lots 12, 19; 

Section 8: Lot 10; 

Section 17: Lots 1 through 10, 11 (N1⁄2,

Section 18: Lots 5, 12 (NE1⁄4); 

Section 20: Lots 1, 2 (NE1⁄4), 8 (N1⁄2 SE1⁄4). 

Containing 777.485 acres, more or less. 

Caballo proposes to mine the tract as 

a part of the Caballo Mine. At the 2006 

mining rate of 39 million tons per year, 

the coal included in the Caballo West 

Tract would extend the life of the 

Caballo Mine by as many as 2.2 years. 

On September 1, 2006, Cordero 

Mining Company (Cordero) applied for 

a maintenance coal tract of 

approximately 4,653.80 acres 

(approximately 483 million tons of inplace coal) adjacent to the Cordero Rojo 

Mine. The tract, which is referred to as 

the Maysdorf II Tract, has been assigned 

case number WYW173360. The 

Maysdorf II Tract includes the following 

lands in Campbell County, Wyoming: 

T. 46 N., R. 71 W., 6th PM, Wyoming 

Section 4: Lots 8, 9, 16, 17; 

Section 5: Lots 5, 12, 13, 20;

Section 12: Lots 1 through 16; 

Section 13: Lots 1 through 8. 

Containing 4,653.80 acres, more or less. 

Cordero proposes to mine the tract as 

a part of the Cordero Rojo Mine. At the 

2006 mining rate of 39.7 million tons 

per year, the coal included in the 

Maysdorf II Tract would extend the life 

of the Cordero Rojo Mine by as many as 

12 years. 

Lands in the Belle Ayr North, West 

Coal Creek, and Caballo West Tracts 

contain private surface estate overlying 

the Federal coal. Lands in the Maysdorf 

II Tract contain private and Federal 

surface estate overlying the Federal coal. 

The Federal surface is administered by 

BLM. 

The Belle Ayr Mine, Coal Creek Mine, 

Caballo Mine, and Cordero Rojo Mine 

are operating under approved mining 

permits from the Land Quality and Air 

Quality Divisions of the Wyoming 

Department of Environmental Quality. 

The Powder River Regional Coal 

Team recommended that BLM process 

these four coal lease applications after 

they reviewed the Belle Ayr North Tract 

at a public meeting held on April 24, 

2005, in Gillette, Wyoming, and the 

West Coal Creek, Caballo West, and 

Maysdorf II Tracts at a public meeting 

held on April 19, 2006, in Casper, 

Wyoming. 

The Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) 

will be a cooperating agency in the 

preparation of the EIS. If the four tracts 

are leased to the applicants, the new 

leases must be incorporated into the 

existing mining and reclamation plans 

for the adjacent mines. Before the 

Federal coal in each tract can be mined, 

the Secretary of the Interior must 

approve the revised MLA mining plan 

for the mine in which each tract will be 

included. The OSM is the Federal 

agency that is responsible for 

recommending approval, approval with 

conditions, or disapproval of the revised 

MLA mining plan to the Office of the 

Secretary of the Interior. Other 

cooperating agencies may be identified 

during the scoping process. 

The BLM will provide interested 

parties the opportunity to submit 

comments or relevant information or 

both. This information will help the 

BLM identify issues to be considered in 

preparing the South Gillette Area Coal 

EIS. Issues that have been identified in 

analyzing the impacts of previous 

Federal coal leasing actions in the 

Wyoming Powder River Basin (PRB) 

include the need for resolution of 

conflicts between existing and proposed 

oil and gas development and coal 

mining on the tracts proposed for coal 

leasing; potential impacts to big game 

herds and hunting; potential impacts to 

sage-grouse; potential impacts to listed 

Threatened and Endangered Species; 

potential health impacts related to 

blasting operations conducted by the 

mines to remove overburden and coal; 

the need to consider the cumulative 

impacts of coal leasing decisions 

combined with other existing and 

proposed development in the Wyoming 

PRB; and potential site-specific and 

cumulative impacts on air and water 

quality. 

Your response is important and will 

be considered in the EIS process. If you 

do respond, we will keep you informed 

of the availability of environmental
