Comments: The "AML Fund Collections and Allocations for FY 2020" section shows total fee collections for coal produced 

in Fiscal Year (FY) 2020. The State and Tribal share allocated, which is 50% of total collections, will be the starting point for 

the State Share distribution on page 2. The Historic Coal funds include 30% of total collections plus funds transferred to 

Historic Coal (detailed 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, 2020. The sequestered funds are not part 

of the unappropriated balance as the Federal budget authority states that these AML funds are unavailable and requires 

them to be tracked in a separate account. 

As in previous years, November 30th was chosen as the cut-off date to include fee collections for coal produced in the final 

FY 2020. These amounts are received from December 1, 2019 to November 30, 2020. To ensure that these collections are 

accounted for properly, the calculation of the distribution was adjusted from the Federal Fiscal Year. 

The Fiscal Year 2021 AML Distribution shows AML Fund balances for the collection of AML fees, interest earned, and 

transactions through November 30, 2020. Whereas OSMRE's FY2022 Budget Justifications Table 8 entitled Summary Status 

of Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund shows the AML Fund balances as of September 30, 2020.

This page presents the FY 2021 State and Tribal share distribution. The FY 2020 State and Tribal share from page 1 is broken out for each State 

and Tribe. Collections for certified States and Tribes are shown. However, certified States and Tribes are ineligibile to receive their State or Tribal 

Share that is collected in fees as part of their AML distribution. The FY 2021 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 2021, as shown on page 1. 

This represents the 30% allocation plus the amount transferred from certified States and Tribes equal to their FY 2021 Certified In Lieu 

distribution. Pursuant to section 411(h)(4)(A) as amended by the Continuing Resolution for FY 2021, OSMRE transferred the entire 

State and Tribal share allocation for certified States and Tribes to Historic Coal, regardless of whether the certified State and Tribe 

received full Certified In Lieu equivalent.

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. As a result, tonnage percentages are adjusted to 

exclude in eligible States and Tribes. Each State's individual calculated percentage is multiplied by the total historic coal funds available 

to calculate a potential distribution. The FY 2021 Historic Coal 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. The FY 2021 

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 from December 1, 2019 through November 30, 2020 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 2021 were calculated by the Office of Management and Budget in its Report to Congress on the Joint Committee Reductions for Fiscal Year 2021. The required reductions were 

effective on the date of the issuance of the Presidential sequestration order (pursuant to 2 USC 901a), which for Fiscal Year 2021 was February 10, 2020.
