Extension of the Current Qualification

of the Designated Nine (9) County

‘‘Area’’ of Oklahoma Federal Coal for

‘‘Category 5’’ Royalty Rate Reductions

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management,

Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: This announcement gives

notice that (1) since the Federal coal

lands within the nine (9) Oklahoma

Counties of Atoka, Coal, Haskell,

Latimer, LeFlore, McIntosh, Muskogee,

Pittsburgh, and Sequoyah were

designated in 1990 by the New Mexico

State Office as a Federal coal ‘‘Area’’,

and (2) since that Area was determined

to be ‘‘Qualified’’ as being eligible for

‘‘Category 5’’ royalty rate reductions in

order to establish fair and competitive

royalties, and (3) since no important

changes in the Area coal market have

occurred, the State Director of the New

Mexico State Office of the Bureau of

Land Management has made the

Decision to extend the Qualification of

the Designated Area for ‘‘Category 5’’

Royalty Rate Reduction for five (5) years

from December 17, 2000 to, and

inclusive of, December 17, 2005.

Category 5 refers to royalty reductions

granted within a designated Area that

the Bureau of Land Management has

concluded to have met ALL of the

following criteria:

1. The Federal Government is not

market dominate.

2. Federal lease royalty rates and

terms are above the current market

royalty rates for non-Federal coal in the

Area.

3. Federal coal would be bypassed or

remain undeveloped due to royalty rate

differentials.

4. The above conditions exist

throughout the Area.

5. A royalty rate reduction under this

Category is not likely to result in undue

competitive advantages over

neighboring coal producing areas.

The Area Federal coal royalty rates

shall continue to be: (A) 2% for Federal

coal mined by industry accepted

underground methods, and (B) 4% for

Federal coal mined by industry

accepted surface methods.
