Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 70 / Thursday, April 12, 2007 / Notices
Secretary of the Interior. WDEQ has
entered into a cooperative agreement
with the Secretary of the Interior to
regulate surface coal mining operations
on Federal and non-Federal lands
within the State of Wyoming. WSPO
coordinates planning within state
agencies and facilitates collaboration
among the agencies, the Federal
Government, other states, the private
sector, and the general public.
On February 1, 2005, the BLM
published its Notice of Intent (NOI) to
prepare an EIS for the Maysdorf coal
lease application in the Federal
Register. A notice announcing the
availability of the Draft EIS was
published in the Federal Register by the
EPA on May 26, 2006. A 60-day
comment period on the Draft EIS
commenced with publication of the
EPA’s notice of availability and ended
on July 25, 2006. The BLM published a
Notice of Availability and Notice of
Public Hearing in the Federal Register
on May 26, 2006. The BLM’s Federal
Register notice announced the date and
time of a public hearing, which was
held on June 13, 2006, in Gillette,
Wyoming. The purpose of the hearing
was to solicit comments on the DEIS,
fair market value, and the maximum
economic recovery of the Federal coal.
During the review and comment
period, the BLM received written
comments from five entities, which are
included, with agency responses, in an
appendix to the FEIS. The FEIS analyzes
leasing the above described tract as
applied for as a separate Proposed
Action. Under this alternative, a
competitive sale would be held and a
lease issued for Federal coal in the tract
as applied for by Cordero. As part of the
coal leasing process, BLM identified
different tract configurations that would
potentially avoid bypassing coal or
prompt competitive interest in the
unleased Federal coal in this area. The
tract configurations that BLM has
identified are described and analyzed as
separate alternatives in the FEIS. Under
these alternatives, a competitive sale
would be held and a lease 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’’
(April 2001). A Record of Decision
(ROD) will be prepared after the close of
the review period for the FEIS. Before
including your address, phone number,

comment, you should be aware that

will be considered during preparation of
the ROD.
