BLM manages the leasing and
development of Federal coal under the
regulations at 43 CFR Group 3400.
These regulations implement numerous
statutes including:
(1) The Mineral Leasing Act of 1920;
(2) The 1976 coal amendments (30
U.S.C. 181 et seq.);
(3) The Mineral Leasing Act for
Acquired Lands of 1947 (30 U.S.C. 351–
359);
(4) The Federal Land Policy and
Management Act of 1976 (43 U.S.C.
1761 et seq.);
(5) The Surface Mining Control and
Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201

BLM uses the information provided
by the applicant(s) on BLM Forms
3400–12 and 3440–1 to determine if the
applicant to lease or develop Federal
coal is qualified to hold such a lease.
Based on BLM’s experience
administering the activities described

burden for the information collected is
20 hours and 15 minutes per response
and the total annual burden is 25,585
hours. We estimate the number of
responses per year is 1,289. The
respondents are applicants to lease or
develop Federal coal and vary from
individuals to small businesses and
major corporations. BLM is specifically
requesting your comments on its
estimate of the amount of time that it

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is
requesting the Office of Management
