Release of Coal Exploration License

Data, UTU–48608

ACTION: Notice of determination to allow

public access to data from coal

exploration license UTU–48608.

SUMMARY: BLM regulations at 43 CFR

2.22 and 3410.4(b) provide that data

obtained under an exploration license

will be kept confidential until the lands

have been leased or BLM determines

that public access to the data would not

damage the competitive position of the

licensee, whichever comes first. Coal

exploration License UTU–48068 was

issued to Royal Land Company on

August 4, 1981. Exploration on this

license included drilling 15 holes in the

vicinity of North Horn Mountain, Emery

County, Utah. The lands covered by this

license were offered for lease on May

29, 1982, and no bids were received.

Since May 29, 1982, no application has

been made for a lease on these lands in

accordance with 43 CFR 3425. The coal

interests in part of the lands contained

within UTU–48068 were transferred to

the State of Utah pursuant to the

provisions of the Utah Schools and

Lands Exchange Act of 1998.

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 186 / Monday, September 25, 2000 / Notices 57619

On December 19, 1996, BLM

published its preliminary determination

that release of the data would not

damage the competitive position of the

licensee or any participants in the

Federal Register (61 FR 67061). Only

one company responded with an

assertion that their competitive position

would be harmed by the release of the

data. Shortly after this response, the

respondent divested themselves of their

coal interests. On August 18, 1999, a

letter was sent to their apparent

successor-in-interest to enable them to

provide any further information in

support of an assertion that they might

be harmed by BLM’s release of the data.

Their August 29, 1999, response

expressed a desire to maintain

confidentiality of the data but provided

no information to support any assertion

that their competitive position would be

harmed by BLM allowing the data to

become public. Therefore, in accordance

with 43 CFR 3410.4(b), BLM has

determined that the data acquired by

Royal Land Company and any

participants in coal exploration license

UTU–48608 can be made public without

damage to the competitive position of

the licensee or any participants. The

coal exploration data, including drill

hole logs and coal quality analyses, will

be made public effective 30 days from

publication of this notice. This decision

may be appealed to the Interior Board of

Land Appeals, Office of the Secretary, in

accordance with the regulations

contained in 43 CFR, Part 4. If an appeal

is taken, your notice of appeal must be

filed with the Bureau of Land

Management, Utah State Office, P.O.

Box 45155, Salt Lake City, Utah 84145–

0155 within 30 days from publication of

this notice. The appellant has the

burden of showing that the decision

appealed from is in error. If you wish to

file a petition (pursuant to regulation 43

CFR 4.21)(58 FR 4939, January 19,

1993)(request) for a stay (suspension) of

the effectiveness of this decision during

the time that your appeal is being

reviewed by the Board, the petition for

a stay must accompany your notice of

appeal. A petition for a stay is required

to show sufficient justification based on

the standards listed below. Copies of the

notice of appeal and petition for a stay

must be submitted to the Interior Board

of Land Appeals and to the appropriate

Office of the Solicitor (see 43 CFR 4.413)

at the same time the original documents

are filed in this office. If you request a

stay, you have the burden of proof to

demonstrate that a stay should be

granted.

Standards for Obtaining a Stay

Except as otherwise provided by law

or other pertinent regulation, a petition

for a stay of a decision pending appeal

shall show sufficient justification based

on the following standards:

(1) The relative harm to the parties if

the stay is granted or denied,

(2) The likelihood of the appellant’s

success on the merits,

(3) The likelihood of immediate and

irreparable harm if the stay is not

granted, and

(4) Whether the public interest favors

granting the stay.
