Share distribution on page 2. The Historic Coal funds, including 30% of total collections plus funds transferred to

Historic Coal, will be distributed on page 4. Transferred funds are from collections for certified States and Tribes as

calculated on page 3. 

The Status of the AML Fund section shows fund balances as of November 30, 2016. As in previous years, November 30th

was chosen as the cut-off date to include fee collections for coal produced in the final quarter of FY 2016.

Comments: This page presents the FY 2017 State and Tribal share distribution. The FY 2016 State/Tribal share

from page 1 is broken out for each State and Tribe. Collections for certified States and Tribes are excluded 

from this distribution because certified States and Tribes are ineligible to receive State or Tribal share. The FY 

2017 State and Tribal share distribution in the last column is rounded to the nearest dollar for each State and 

Tribe.

Comments: This page presents the distribution of the Historic Coal funds allocated and transferred for FY 2016, as 

shown on page 1. This represents the 30% allocation plus the amount transferred from certified States and Tribes 

equal to their FY 2017 Certified In Lieu distribution. 

This total is distributed based on each State's percentage of coal tonnage produced before the passage of SMCRA in 

1977. OSMRE used tonnage data from OSMRE's Environmental Impact Statement of 1980. Only States and Tribes 

that are uncertified and have unfunded Priority 1&2 problems in the AML inventory are eligible for Historic Coal funds. 

Each State's individual calculated percentage is multiplied by the total historic coal funds available to calculate a 

potential distribution. The FY 2017 Historic Coal funds distribution in the last column is rounded to the nearest dollar 

for each State.

Comments: This page presents the Minimum Program Make Up funding distribution. The State and Tribal Share, Certified In Lieu, 

and Historic Coal distributions for each State and Tribe (calculated on pages 2-4) are added together to produce a preliminary total 

distribution. Only States and Tribes that are uncertified and have unfunded Priority 1&2 coal problems in the AML inventory are 

eligible for minimum program funding. The Minimum Program Need column shows the amount each State needs to bring total 

funding up to $3,000,000 or the amount of the unfunded high priority coal problems in its inventory, whichever is lower. Specifically, 

Utah's Minimum Program need was reduced to its P1/P2 inventory amount per Section 402(g)(8)(A). The FY 2017 Minimum 

Program Make Up distribution in the last column is rounded up to the nearest dollar for each State.

Funding for Abandoned Mine Land (AML) grants come from coal receipts collected and deposited in the AML trust fund and also from general Treasury funds. These funds are distributed through a congressionally mandated formula under the Surface Mining 

Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA). "Reductions required under sequestration for fiscal year 2017 were calculated by the Office of Management and Budget in its Report to Congress on the Joint Committee Reductions for Fiscal Year 2017. The 

required reductions were effective on the date of the issuance of the Presidential sequestration order (pursuant to 2 USC 901a(6)(A)), which for fiscal year 2017 was February 9, 2016. Any new direct spending authorized by Congress after the President issues 

the sequestration order is not subject to sequestration for that fiscal year."
