This coal lease sale is being held in response to a lease by application (LBA) filed by BTU Western Resources, Inc., Gillette, Wyoming. The coal resource to be offered consists of all reserves recoverable by surface mining methods in the following-described lands located approximately 1 to 4 miles north of the Campbell/Converse county line, adjacent and up to 2 miles east of the main line railroad, and adjacent to the western and northern lease boundary of the North Antelope Rochelle Mine. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: T. 41 N., R. 70 W., 6th Principal Meridian Sec. 7, lots 7 through 10 inclusive and lots 15 through 18 inclusive; Sec. 18, lots 6 through 11 inclusive and lots 14 through 19 inclusive; T. 41 N., R. 71 W., 6th Principal Meridian Sec. 1, lots 5 through 20 inclusive; Sec. 12, lots 1 through 16 inclusive; Sec. 13, lots 1 through 16 inclusive; Sec. 14, lots 1, 2, 8, 9, 16, and 18; Sec. 23, lots 1 and 17; and Sec. 24, lots 2 through 4 inclusive and lots 17, 19, and 21. Containing 3,243.03 acres, more or less, in Campbell County, Wyoming. The LBA tract is adjacent to Federal leases to the east and south as well as a State of Wyoming lease to the north, all controlled by the North Antelope Rochelle Mine. It is also adjacent to Federal leases to the west across the mainline railroad, which is part of Cloud Peak Energy Resources, LLC’s Antelope Mine. It is adjacent to additional unleased Federal coal to the west. Most of the acreage offered has been determined to be suitable for mining except for the mainline railroad right-ofway along the western boundary of the LBA. Features such as roads, utilities, and pipelines can be moved to permit coal recovery. In addition, a producing gas well is located on the LBA as well as several coal bed natural gas wells. The estimate of the bonus value of the coal lease will include consideration of the future production from these wells. An economic analysis of this future income stream will consider reasonable compensation to the gas lessee for lost production of the natural gas when the wells are bought out by the coal lessee. Approximately half of the surface estate of the tract is within the Thunder Basin National Grasslands and managed by the U.S. Forest Service. Most of the E:\FR\FM\25JAN1.SGM 25JAN1
