National Environmental Policy Act 

(NEPA), the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) announces the

Mine in Campbell County, Wyoming.

Protection Agency (EPA) publishes their 

NOA of the FEIS in the Federal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FEIS 

analyzes and discloses to the public 

direct, indirect, and cumulative 

environmental impacts of issuing a 

Federal coal lease in the Wyoming 

portion of the Powder River Basin. The 

BLM is considering issuing a coal lease 

as a result of a September 20, 2001, 

application submitted by CMC to lease 

Federal coal near the Cordero Rojo 

Mine, approximately 15 miles southsoutheast of Gillette, Wyoming. 

CMC, the operator of the mine, 

applied to lease the tract as a 

maintenance tract to extend the life of 

their existing mining operations under 

the provisions of the Leasing by 

Application regulations at 43 CFR 3425. 

This tract, case number WYW154432, is 

referred to as the Maysdorf Coal Tract. 

The following lands in Campbell 

County, Wyoming are included in the 

tract as applied for: 

T. 46 N., R. 71 W., 6th P.M., Wyoming 

Section 4: Lots 5, 6, 7 (E1⁄2E1⁄2), 10 

(E1⁄2E1⁄2), 11, 12; 

Section 10: Lots 1, 2, 3 (N1⁄2, N1⁄2S1⁄2), 4 

(N1⁄2, N1⁄2S1⁄2), 5 (N1⁄2, N1⁄2S1⁄2), 6 (N1⁄2, 

N1⁄2S1⁄2); 

Section 11: Lots 1 through 8, 9 (N1⁄2, 

N1⁄2S1⁄2), 10 (N1⁄2, N1⁄2S1⁄2), 11 (N1⁄2, 

N1⁄2S1⁄2), 12 (N1⁄2, N1⁄2S1⁄2); 

T. 47 N., R. 71 W, 6th P.M., Wyoming 

Section 8: Lots 3 through 6, 11 through 13; 

Section 21: Lots 1, 2, 3 (E1⁄2E1⁄2), 6 

(E1⁄2E1⁄2), 7 through 10, 11 (E1⁄2E1⁄2), 14 

(E1⁄2E1⁄2), 15, 16; 

Section 28: Lots 1, 2, 3 (E1⁄2E1⁄2), 6 

(E1⁄2E1⁄2), 7 through 10, 11 (E1⁄2E1⁄2), 14 

(E1⁄2E1⁄2), 15, 16; 

Section 33: Lots 1, 2, 3 (E1⁄2E1⁄2), 6 

(E1⁄2E1⁄2), 7 through 10, 11 (E1⁄2E1⁄2), 14 

(E1⁄2E1⁄2), 15, 16; 

Containing 2,219.39 acres, more or less. 

CMC estimates that approximately 

234.8 million tons of in-place Federal 

coal are included in the tract. 

The Office of Surface Mining 

Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM), 

the Land Quality Division of the 

Wyoming Department of Environmental 

Quality (WDEQ), and the Wyoming 

State Planning Office (WSPO) are 

cooperating agencies in the preparation 

of the FEIS. If the tract is leased as a 

maintenance tract, the new lease will be 

incorporated into the existing mining 

and reclamation plan for the adjacent 

mine. The Secretary of the Interior must 

approve the revision to the Mineral 

Leasing Act (MLA) mining plan before 

the Federal coal can be mined. If the 

tract is leased, OSM is the Federal 

agency that would be responsible for 

recommending approval, approval with 

conditions, or disapproval of the revised 

MLA mining plan to the Office of the 


rmajette on PROD1PC67 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 70 / Thursday, April 12, 2007 / Notices 18489 

Secretary of the Interior. WDEQ has 

entered into a cooperative agreement 

with the Secretary of the Interior to 

regulate surface coal mining operations 

on Federal and non-Federal lands 

within the State of Wyoming. WSPO 

coordinates planning within state 

agencies and facilitates collaboration 

among the agencies, the Federal 

Government, other states, the private 

sector, and the general public. 

On February 1, 2005, the BLM 

published its Notice of Intent (NOI) to 

prepare an EIS for the Maysdorf coal 

lease application in the Federal 

Register. A notice announcing the 

availability of the Draft EIS was 

published in the Federal Register by the 

EPA on May 26, 2006. A 60-day 

comment period on the Draft EIS 

commenced with publication of the 

EPA’s notice of availability and ended 

on July 25, 2006. The BLM published a 

Notice of Availability and Notice of 

Public Hearing in the Federal Register 

on May 26, 2006. The BLM’s Federal 

Register notice announced the date and 

time of a public hearing, which was 

held on June 13, 2006, in Gillette, 

Wyoming. The purpose of the hearing 

was to solicit comments on the DEIS, 

fair market value, and the maximum 

economic recovery of the Federal coal. 

During the review and comment 

period, the BLM received written 

comments from five entities, which are 

included, with agency responses, in an 

appendix to the FEIS. The FEIS analyzes 

leasing the above described tract as 

applied for as a separate Proposed 

Action. Under this alternative, a 

competitive sale would be held and a 

lease issued for Federal coal in the tract 

as applied for by Cordero. As part of the 

coal leasing process, BLM identified 

different tract configurations that would 

potentially avoid bypassing coal or 

prompt competitive interest in the 

unleased Federal coal in this area. The 

tract configurations that BLM has 

identified are described and analyzed as 

separate alternatives in the FEIS. Under 

these alternatives, a competitive sale 

would be held and a lease issued for 

Federal coal lands included in a tract 

modified by the BLM. The FEIS also 

analyzes the alternative of rejecting the 

application to lease Federal coal as the 

No Action Alternative. The Proposed 

Action and alternatives being 

considered in the FEIS are in 

conformance with the ‘‘Approved 

Resource Management Plan for Public 

Lands Administered by the Bureau of 

Land Management Buffalo Field Office’’

(April 2001). A Record of Decision 

(ROD) will be prepared after the close of 

the review period for the FEIS. Before 

including your address, phone number, 

e-mail address, or other personal 

identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. Comments received on the FEIS 

will be considered during preparation of 

the ROD.
