[Comments: This page presents the distribution of the Historic Coal funds allocated and transferred for FY 2017, as

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

to their FY 2018 Certified In Lieu distribution which includes the half the phase-in amounts withheld under

FY 2009-2011 under section 411(h)(3)(8). Pursuant to section 411(h)(4)(A) as amended by the Continuing

l.... esoumon for FY 2018, OSMRE transferred the entire StatefTribal share allocation for certified states to Historic

, regardless of whether the certified StatefTribe received full Certified in Lieu equivalent.

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

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

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

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

late a potential distribution. The FY 2018 Historic Coal funds distribution in the last column is rounded to the

dollar for each State.

IColmn1enlts·This page presents the Minimum Program Make Up funding distribution. The State and Tribal Share, Certified In Lieu,

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

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

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

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

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