SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land

Management (BLM) announces a public

hearing on the Environmental

Assessment (EA) for a proposed coal

lease sale and requests public comment

on the fair market value of certain coal

resources it proposes to offer for

competitive lease sale. The lands

included in coal lease application UTU–

74804 are located in Carbon County,

Utah, approximately 15 miles northwest

of Price, Utah on public land and are

described as follows:

Section 18: NE1⁄4NE1⁄4.

Containing 1,288.49 acres.

Two potentially minable coal beds,

the Castlegate ‘‘A’’ and Hiawatha seams

are found in this tract. Because of rock

splits in the Castlegate ‘‘A’’ bed,

essentially all of the potential reserves

are in the Hiawatha bed. The minable

portions of the seams in this area are

from 7 to 8.5 feet in thickness. This tract

contains an estimated 6–7 million tons

of recoverable high-volatile B

bituminous coal. The range of coal

quality in the seams on an as received

basis is as follows: 11,800–12,000 BTU/

lb., 0.4–0.5 percent sulfur, 6–7 percent

ash. The public is invited to the hearing

to make public or written comments on

the EA concerning the proposal to lease

the Beaver Creek Tract, and also to

submit comments on the fair market

value (FMV) and the maximum

economic recovery (MER) of the tract.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In

accordance with Federal coal

management regulations 43 CFR part

4322 and 4325, a public hearing shall be

held on the proposed sale to allow

public comment on and discussion of

the potential effects of mining and

proposed lease. Not less than 30 days

prior to the publication of the notice of

sale, the Secretary shall solicit public

comments on fair market value

appraisal and maximum economic

recovery and on factors that may affect

these two determinations. Proprietary

data marked as confidential may be

submitted to the Bureau of Land

Management in response to this

solicitation of public comments. Data so

marked shall be treated in accordance

with the laws and regulations governing

the confidentiality of such information.

A copy of the comments submitted by

by the author and meeting exemptions

stated in the Freedom of Information

Act, will be available for public

inspection at the Bureau of Land
