SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

As required under the BLM’s 

regulations at 43 CFR 2203.3, a public 

meeting must be held after completion 

of an environmental analysis and prior 

to the issuance of a notice of decision.

be to receive oral and written testimony 

and comments on the public interest 

factors (see determination of public 

interest at 43 CFR 2200.0–6 (b))

exchange. 

The exchange proponents, NanceBrown, seek an exchange as required by 

section 510(b)(5) of SMCRA, which 

provides that owners of coal determined 

to be unminable due to prohibitions 

against mining coal within an alluvial 

valley floor, west of the 100th meridian, 

west longitude, are entitled to an 

exchange of coal with the Federal 

Government (30 U.S.C. 1260(b)(5)). 

Pursuant to section 510 of SMCRA and 

the revised stipulation entered on 

January 29, 2010, in Nance v. Salazar, 

No. CV–06–125–BLG–RFC (D. 

Montana), the BLM is considering an 

exchange of Federal coal in Montana, 

within the Ashenhurst Tract, to equal 

the value, as determined by appraisal, of 

approximately 3,379.55 acres of nonFederal coal in the alluvial valley floor 

of the Tongue River, in Montana, owned 

by Nance-Brown.

County, Montana, from Nance Brown:

Sec. 25, lot 5, E1⁄2E1⁄2; and
