Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 129 / Wednesday, July 8, 2009 / Notices
to leasing the federal coal that is located
on USFS-administered lands.
The Black Thunder Mine, Jacobs
Ranch Mine, and North Antelope
Rochelle Mine are operating under
approved mining permits from the
WDEQ Land Quality and Air Quality
Divisions.
If the tracts are leased to existing
mines, the new leases must be
incorporated into the existing mining
and reclamation plans for the adjacent
mines. Before the Federal coal in each
tract can be mined, the Secretary of the
Interior must approve the revised
Mineral Leasing Act (MLA) mining plan
for the mine in which each tract will be
included. OSM is the Federal agency
that is responsible for recommending
approval, approval with conditions, or
disapproval of the revised MLA mining
plan to the Office of the Secretary of the
Interior.
The DEIS analyzes and discloses to
the public the direct, indirect, and
cumulative environmental impacts
associated with leasing six Federal coal
tracts in the Wyoming portion of the
Powder River Basin. A copy of the DEIS
has been sent to affected Federal, State,
and local government agencies; persons
and entities identified as potentially
being affected by a decision to lease the
Federal coal in each of the tracts; and
persons who indicated to the BLM that
they wished to receive a copy of the
DEIS. The purpose of the public hearing
is to solicit comments on the DEIS, on
the proposed competitive sales of the
six Federal coal lease maintenance
tracts, and on the FMV and MER of the
Federal coal.
The DEIS analyzes leasing the six
Wright Area coal tracts as the Proposed
Action. Under the Proposed Action, a
competitive sale would be held and a
lease issued for Federal coal contained
in the tracts as applied for by each of the
applicants. As part of the coal leasing
process, the BLM is evaluating adding
additional Federal coal to the tracts to
avoid bypassing coal or to prompt
competitive interest in unleased Federal
coal in the area. The alternate tract
configurations for each of the LBAs that
BLM is evaluating are described and
analyzed as separate alternatives in the
DEIS. Under these alternatives,
competitive sales would be held and
leases would be issued for Federal coal
lands included in tracts modified by the
BLM. The DEIS also analyzes the
alternative of rejecting the application(s)
to lease Federal coal as the No Action
Alternative. The Proposed Actions and
alternatives for each of the LBAs being
considered in the DEIS are in
conformance with the Approved
Resource Management Plan for Public

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM
estimates about 36,000 wild horses and
burros are roaming on BLMadministered rangelands in 10 Western
states. Wild horses and burros have
virtually no natural predators and their
herd sizes can double about every four
years. As a result, the agency must
remove thousands of animals from the
range each year to control herd sizes.
The estimated current free-roaming
population is 9,400 more than the level
that the BLM has determined can exist
in balance with other public rangeland
resources and uses. Oregon/Washington
BLM averages 400–500 horses gathered
annually from public lands. For 2009,
gathers are tentatively planned for Herd
Management Areas within the Burns,
Lakeview, and Prineville Districts.
Dated: July 1, 2009.
