FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
On
October 1, 2010, the State of Tennessee
petitioned the Office of Surface Mining
Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM),
United States Department of the
Interior, to designate certain lands
within the North Cumberland Wildlife
Management Area and the Emory River
Tracts Conservation Easement in
Anderson, Campbell, Morgan, and Scott
Counties, Tennessee as unsuitable for
surface coal mining operations pursuant
to the Surface Mining Control and
Reclamation Act of 1977 (30 U.S.C. 1201
et seq.). The petition was amended on
November 5, 2010, and deemed
administratively complete and accepted
for processing on November 23, 2010.
The petition as accepted is a 28-page
document with a one-page exhibit. The
amendment consisted of a three-page
cover letter, two exhibits totaling nine
pages and four CD’s containing various
reference documents in support of their
position. The Federal Program for
Tennessee, as administered by OSM,
applies to all surface coal mining
operations in Tennessee including the
processing of lands unsuitable for
mining petitions (30 CFR part 942).
The petition area occupies
approximately 67,326 acres in Scott,
Campbell, Anderson, and Morgan
Counties, Tennessee and is identified as
the land within 600 feet on each side
(1,200 feet total) of all ridge lines lying
within the North Cumberland Wildlife
Management Area (WMA) which is
comprised of the Royal Blue WMA, the
Sundquist WMA, and the New River
WMA (also known as the Brimstone
Tract Conservation Easement) and the
Emory River Tracts Conservation
Easement.
The major allegations of the petition
can be summarized as follows:
1. Surface mining operations in the
petition area would be incompatible
with the conservation goals of
Tennessee’s ‘‘Connecting the
Cumberland’s’’ project, as well as with
various state land use plans, programs
and strategies that govern and set goals
for the lands within and downstream of
the petition area.
2. Surface mining operations in the
petition area would significantly
damage the natural systems and
esthetic, recreational, cultural, and
historic values of the ridge lines and
their viewsheds that exist within these
fragile lands.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 26 / Tuesday, February 8, 2011 / Notices
OSM has identified three possible
alternatives that the combined PED/EIS
would evaluate:
• Alternative 1—Designate the entire
petition area as unsuitable for surface
coal mining operations.
• Alternative 2—Not designate any of
the area as unsuitable for surface coal
mining operations.
• Alternative 3—Designate parts of
the petition area as unsuitable for all or
certain types of surface coal mining
operations.
A scoping comment period is intended
to raise the relevant issues to be
addressed by the combined document.
OSM seeks public comments in relation
to the scope of issues to be addressed by
the impact evaluation, including
impacts and alternatives that should be
addressed. Written comments should be
specific and confined to issues pertinent
to the petition. The public comments
received during the scoping period will
assist OSM in making decisions on the
petition evaluation and in preparing the
PED/EIS. OSM believes that the
proposed action is a major Federal
action that may significantly affect the
quality of the human environment and
may require the preparation of an EIS.
OSM additionally gives notice here that
should information or analyses show
that the proposed action does not
require an EIS, we will terminate the
EIS process through an appropriate
notice in the Federal Register, prepare
an environmental assessment, and
continue processing of the petition
under the regulations at 30 CFR parts
764 and 942.
