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 May 2, 2005, the BLM published
a Notice of Intent (NOI) to prepare an
EIS for the Eagle Butte West 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 October 20,
2006. A 60-day comment period on the
Draft EIS commenced with publication
of the EPA’s notice of availability and
ended on December 19, 2006. The BLM
published a Notice of Availability and
Notice of Public Hearing in the Federal
Register on October 20, 2006. The
BLM’s Federal Register notice
announced the date and time of a public
hearing, which was held on November
14, 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
DEIS comment period, the BLM
received eight written comments, which
are included, with BLM’s responses, in
an appendix to the FEIS.
The FEIS analyzes leasing the abovedescribed 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 it was applied for. As part
of the coal leasing process, the BLM
identified a different tract configuration
that would potentially avoid bypassing
coal or prompt competitive interest in
the unleased Federal coal in this area.
The tract configuration that the 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 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 30-day
review period for the FEIS. Comments

Forms: MMS–132, MMS–1123, MMS–

OMB Control Number: 1010–0114.
Abstract: The Outer Continental Shelf
(OCS) Lands Act, as amended (43 U.S.C.
1331 et seq. and 43 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.),
authorizes the Secretary of the Interior
to prescribe rules and regulations to
administer leasing of the OCS. Such
rules and regulations will apply to all
operations conducted under a lease.
Operations on the OCS must preserve,
protect, and develop oil and natural gas
resources in a manner that is consistent
with the need to make such resources
available to meet the Nation’s energy
needs as rapidly as possible; to balance
orderly energy resource development
with protection of human, marine, and
coastal environments; to ensure the
public a fair and equitable return on the
resources of the OCS; and to preserve
and maintain free enterprise
competition. Section 1332(6) states that
‘‘operations in the [O]uter Continental
Shelf should be conducted in a safe
manner by well trained personnel using
technology, precautions, and other
techniques sufficient to prevent or
minimize the likelihood of blowouts,
loss of well control, fires, spillages,
physical obstructions to other users of
the waters or subsoil and seabed, or
other occurrences which may cause
damage to the environment or to
property or endanger life or health.’’
The Independent Offices
Appropriations Act (31 U.S.C. 9701), the
Omnibus Appropriations Bill (Pub. L.
104–133, 110 Stat. 1321, April 26,
1996), and Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) Circular A–25, authorize
Federal agencies to recover the full cost
of services that confer special benefits.
Under the Department of the Interior’s
(DOI) implementing policy, the
Minerals Management Service (MMS) is
required to charge fees for services that
provide special benefits or privileges to
an identifiable non-Federal recipient
above and beyond those which accrue to
the public at large.
Regulations implementing these
responsibilities are under 30 CFR part
250, subpart A, General. This request
also covers the related Notices to
Lessees and Operators (NTLs) that MMS
issues to clarify and provide additional
guidance on some aspects of our
regulations. Responses are mandatory.
No questions of a ‘‘sensitive’’ nature are
asked. We protect proprietary
information according to the Freedom of
Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) and its
implementing regulations (43 CFR part
2), and 30 CFR 250.197, ‘‘Data and
