competitive interest in the unleased 

Federal coal for this area. The alternate 

tract configuration that BLM has 

identified is described and analyzed as 

a separate alternative in the FEIS. Under 

this alternative, a competitive sale 

would be held and a lease would be 

issued for Federal coal lands included 

in a tract modified by the BLM. The 

FEIS also analyzes the alternative of 

rejecting the application to lease Federal 

coal as the No Action Alternative. The 

Proposed Action and alternatives being 

considered in the FEIS are in 

conformance with the Approved 

Resource Management Plan for Public 

Lands Administered by the Bureau of 

Land Management Buffalo Field Office 

(2001), the Bureau of Land Management 

Casper Field Office Resource 

Management Plan (2007), and the 

USDA-Forest Service Land and 

Resource Management Plan for the 

Thunder Basin National Grassland 

(2002). A Record of Decision (ROD) will 

be prepared after the close of the 30-day 

review period for the FEIS. Comments 

received on the FEIS will be considered 

during preparation of the ROD. 

Four copies of the FEIS will be 

included on the mailing list for this 

project. Please make requests for copies 

in writing, by facsimile, or 

electronically to the addresses listed at 

the beginning of this notice. The BLM 

asks that those submitting comments on 

the FEIS make them as specific as 

possible with reference to page numbers 

and chapters of the document. 

Comments that contain only opinions or 

preferences will not receive a formal 

response; however, they will be 

considered as part of the BLM decisionmaking process. Please note that 

comments and information submitted 

including names, street addresses, and 

e-mail addresses of respondents will be 

available for public review and 

disclosure at the BLM Casper Field 

Office during regular business hours
