SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice is provided in accordance with the Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40 CFR parts 1500 to 1508) and TVA procedures for implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). TVA is a federal corporation and instrumentality of the United States government, created in 1933 by an act of Congress to foster the social and economic well-being of the residents of the Tennessee Valley region. As part of its diversified energy strategy, TVA completed a series of land and coal mineral acquisitions from the 1960s through the mid-1980s that resulted in the ownership of approximately 65,000 acres of coal reserves. These reserves consist of approximately 1.35 billion tons of Illinois coal, including portions of the Springfield (also known as Number [No.] 5) and Herrin (also known as No. 6) coal seams. TVA executed a coal lease agreement with Sugar Camp in July 2002 to mine portions of the TVA Illinois coal reserves in an environmentally sound manner, as subject to environmental reviews in accordance with NEPA and other applicable laws and regulations. Based in part on TVA’s evolving electricity generation priorities, and TVA’s diminishing need for coal to supply TVA’s electricity generating portfolio, TVA is considering divesting itself of these same land and mineral acquisitions. Background On January 4, 2023, Sugar Camp submitted Permit 382 Significant Boundary Revision (SBR) 8 application to Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) proposing to expand its underground longwall mining operations at its Sugar Camp Mine No. 1 in Franklin, Hamilton, and Jefferson counties, Illinois, by approximately E:\FR\FM\01SEN1.SGM 01SEN1
