Notice of Coal Lease Application—

NDM 97633—BNI Coal Limited 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Department of the Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This is Notice of BNI Coal 

Limited Coal Lease Application NDM 

97633 for certain coal resources within 

the Center Mine. The land included in 

Coal Lease Application NDM 97633 is 

located in Oliver County, North Dakota, 

and is described as follows: 

T. 142 N., R. 84 W., 5th P. M. 

Sec. 20: N1⁄2, SW1⁄4; 

Sec. 32: N1⁄21/4, SW1/4NW1/4, NW1/ 

4SW1/4 The 640.00 acre tract 

contains an estimated 17.1 million 

tons of recoverable coal reserves. 

The application will be processed in 

accordance with the provisions of the 

Mineral Leasing Act of 1920, as 

amended (30 U.S.C. 181, et seq.), and 

the implementing regulations at 43 CFR 

3400. A decision to allow leasing of the 

coal reserves in said tract will result in 

a competitive lease sale to be held at a 

time and place to be announced through 

publication pursuant to 43 CFR 3422. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: BNI Coal 

Limited is the lessee and operator of 

Coal Leases NDM 043848, NDM 62073, 

and NDM 95104 at the Center Mine. The 

entire area included within this lease 

application lies within the Center Mine 

BNCR–9702 permit area. 

The area applied for would be mined 

as an extension of the Center Mine and 

would utilize the same methods as those 

currently being used. The lease being 

applied for can extend the life of the 

mine by about 4 years, and enable 

recovery of coal that might never be 

mined if not mined as a logical 

extension of current pits.
