31544 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 120 / Thursday, June 20, 1996 / Notices

ACTION: Notice of Scoping on two coal

lease applications in the decertified

Powder River Basin Federal Coal

Production Region, Wyoming. The

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is

conducting a public scoping period to

identify issues and concerns related to

two separate coal lease applications

received from Powder River Coal

Company (PRCC) and Kerr-McGee (K–

M) Coal Corporation.

SUMMARY: BLM received a coal lease

application (LBA) from PRCC on March

23, 1995, for approximately 4,020 acres

(and an estimated 500 million tons of

coal, in an area adjacent to the

company’s North Antelope and Rochelle

Mines in Campbell County, Wyoming

(WYW136142). BLM received a coal

lease application (LBA) from K–M Coal

Corporation on April 14, 1995, for

approximately 4,000 acres and an

estimated 432 millions tons of coal, in

an area adjacent to the company’s Jacobs

Ranch Mine in Campbell County,

Wyoming (WYW136458). Both

applications were filed as maintenance

tract lease-by-applications (LBAs) under

the provisions of 43 Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR) 3425.1. The Powder

River Regional Coal Team (RCT)

reviewed both lease applications at their

April 23, 1996, meeting in Cheyenne,

Wyoming and recommended that both

be processed.

BLM is considering several options to

satisfy the requirements of the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) in

processing these two leases: preparing

separate NEPA documents for each lease

application or preparing one NEPA

document to analyze the impacts of both

lease applications. The RCT

recommended that BLM include a

request for comments from the public

on which of these options would best

satisfy NEPA as part of the scoping

process. An updated cumulative impact

analysis for the southern group of mines

in the Wyoming Powder River Basin

will be included under either NEPA

option. Under the LBA process, most of

the Federal coal leased in the Wyoming

portion of the Powder River Basin

Federal Coal Region has been leased by

the southern grouping of mines, which

consists of the Jacobs Ranch, Black

Thunder, North Rochelle, Rochelle,

North Antelope, and Antelope mines.

After reviewing the comments

received during the scoping period,

BLM will make a decision on how to

address NEPA for these two

applications, and inform the public of

what that decision is. The U.S. Forest

Service and Office of Surface Mining

will be cooperating agencies on the

document or documents. DATES: As

part of the public scoping process, a

public scoping meeting is scheduled on

June 27, 1996, at 7:00 PM, at the

Holiday Inn, 2009 South Douglas

Highway, in Gillette, Wyoming. If you

have concerns or issues that the BLM

should address in processing these two

leases, you can express them verbally at

the scoping meeting in Gillette or send

them in writing to BLM by July 31,

1996, at the address given below.

ADDRESSES: Please address questions,

comments or concerns to the Casper

District Office, Bureau of Land

Management, Attn: Nancy Doelger, 1701

East E Street, Casper, Wyoming 82601.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Nancy Doelger or Mike Karbs at the

above address, or phone: 307–261–7600.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On March

23, 1995, PRCC filed a coal lease

application WYW136142 with the BLM

for a maintenance tract LBA for the

following lands, which contain an

estimated 550 million tons of coal:

T. 41 N., R. 70 W., 6th P.M., Wyoming

Section 6: Lots 10 thru 13, and 18 thru 21;

Section 7: Lots 6, 11, 14, and 19;

Section 18: Lots 5, 12, 13, and 20;

T. 42 N., R. 70 W., 6th P.M., Wyoming

Section 31: Lots 5 thru 20;

Section 32: Lots 1 thru 16;

Section 33: Lots 1 thru 16;

Section 34: Lots 1 thru 16;

Section 35: Lots 1 thru 16;

T. 41 N., R. 71 W., 6th P.M., Wyoming

Section 1: Lots 5, 6, 11, and 12;

Containing 4,022.960 acres more or less.

The North Antelope and Rochelle

Mines are contiguous mines which are

both adjacent to the lease application

area. Both mines have approved mining

and reclamation plans. The Rochelle

Mine has an air quality permit approved

by the Wyoming Department of

Environmental Quality, Air Quality

Division (WDEQ/AQD) to mine up to 30

million tons of coal per year. The North

Antelope Mine has an air quality permit

approved by the WDEQ/AQD to mine

up to 35 million tons of coal per year.

According to PRCC, no increase in

planned production would occur at

either mine solely from the acquisition

of the proposed lease; the additional

tonnage would extend the life of both

mines.

PRCC previously acquired Federal

coal lease WYW122586, containing

approximately 3,493 acres adjacent to

the North Antelope and Rochelle Mines,

using the competitive LBA process,

effective 10/1/92.

On April 14, 1995, K–M Coal

Corporation filed an LBA WYW136458

with the BLM for a maintenance tract

for the following lands, which contain

an estimated 432 million tons of coal:

T. 43 N., R. 70 W., 6th P.M., Wyoming

Section 4: Lots 8, 9, and 15 thru 18;

Section 5: Lots 5 thru 20;

Section 6: Lots 8 thru 23;

Section 7: Lots 5 thru 7; Lot 8 (N1⁄2); Lots 9

thru 12; Lot 13 (N1⁄2 and SE1⁄4); Lot 19

(NE1⁄4);

Section 8: Lots 1 thru 16;

Section 9: Lots 3 thru 6 and Lots 11 thru 13;

T. 43 N., R. 71 W., 6th P.M., Wyoming

Section 1: Lots 5 thru 15, 19, and SE1⁄4NE1⁄4;

Containing 3,354.265 acres more or less.

The acreage applied for in K–M’s

application is known as the

Thundercloud tract. It is described in a

1983 BLM document entitled ‘‘Powder

River Coal Region Tract Summaries’’,

which was prepared in anticipation of a

Federal coal sale proposed for 1984 that

did not take place.

The Jacobs Ranch Mine has a air

quality permit approved by the WDEQ/

AQD to mine up to 35 million tons of

coal per year. According to K–M, the

additional coal reserves would extend

the life of the current mining operations

at the Jacobs Ranch Mine.

K–M previously acquired Federal coal

lease WYW117924, containing

approximately 1,079 acres adjacent to

the Jacobs Ranch Mine, under the

competitive LBA process, effective 10/1/

92.

The major issues related to these to

leases applications that have been

identified to date include the potential

increases in impacts to air quality,

groundwater, and wildlife that may

occur if these leases are issued. If you

have specific concerns about these

issues, or have other concerns or issues

that BLM should consider in processing

these leases, or if you have comments

on whether BLM should prepare one

NEPA document or two, please address

them in writing to the above individuals

or state them verbally at the public

scoping meeting scheduled for June 27,

1996, in Gillette, Wyoming. BLM will

accept written comments at the address

should above through July 31, 1996.
