Notice of Realty Action: Proposed
Amendment to an Existing Lease,
Montana
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of realty action.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) received an
application from Navajo Transitional
Energy Company (NTEC) to amend its
existing lease pursuant to section 302 of
the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (FLPMA) of 1976, as
amended, and BLM regulations. The
proposed lease amendment would allow
surface use only, and no mineral
extractions would be allowed on the
subject lands. The annual rental for this
lease is $115.47 per acre, and the lease
would expire on April 22, 2032, with
the option of renewal. This project is
located southeast of Billings, Montana.
DATES: Interested parties may submit
written comments regarding the
proposed amendment on or before.
April 8, 2024.
ADDRESSES: Written comments may be
mailed, or hand delivered to BLM Miles
City Field Office, 111 Garryowen Road,
Miles City, MT 59301. Comments may
also be submitted electronically at BLM_
MT_MilesCity_FO@blm.gov. The BLM
will not consider comments received by
telephone.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beth
Klempel, Assistant Field Manager, BLM
Miles City Field Office, 111 Garryowen
Road, Miles City, MT 59301, telephone
406–233–2800, or email bklempel@
blm.gov. For information regarding this
case, refer to case file MTM 74913 and/
or MTMT 106077659. Individuals in the
United States who are deaf, deafblind,
hard of hearing, or have a speech
disability may dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or
TeleBraille) to access
telecommunications relay services for
contacting Beth Klempel. Individuals
outside the United States should use the
relay services offered within their
country to make international calls to
the point-of-contact in the United
States.
SUMMARY:
The
proposed lease amendment effects the
following described lands:
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Principal Meridian, Montana
T. 8 S., R. 39 E.,
Sec. 13, NE1⁄4SE1⁄4 that portion lying
westerly of the west right-of way

boundary of MTM–37463, and
NE1⁄4NW1⁄4SE1⁄4.
Sec. 35, W1⁄2NW1⁄4NE1⁄4SE1⁄4,
SW1⁄4NE1⁄4SE1⁄4, W1⁄2SE1⁄4SE1⁄4, and
SE1⁄4SE1⁄4SE1⁄4.
The areas described aggregate 67 acres
according to the official plat of the survey of
the said lands on file with the BLM, as well
as approximate GIS calculations.
The BLM is considering amending the
existing lease, which currently includes
277.12 acres, to authorize an additional
67 acres, which would increase the total
acreage to 344.12 acres. The additional
acreage would allow for surface layback,
establishing a highwall crest, topsoil
and overburden stockpiles, and
transportation and utility corridors.
Layback on the area proposed by the
lease amendment is a critical
component in coal surface mine
recovery to stabilize the wall as mining
on the adjoining land progresses.
The BLM is considering offering the
lease amendment noncompetitively to
NTEC because the authorized officer has
determined that: (1) these parcels are
surrounded by land owned or controlled
by NTEC; and (2) it is unlikely there
would be interest in competitive
bidding on these lands.
If the BLM approves the application
to amend the lease, the reimbursement
of costs and annual rental is the
responsibility of the applicant in
accordance with the provisions of 43
CFR 2920.6 and 2920.8, respectively.
The lease amendment, as proposed in
the application, is consistent with the
2015 Miles City Field Office Resource
Management Plan.
Comments on the proposed lease
amendment should be specific, confined
to issues pertinent to the proposed
action, and should explain the reason
for any recommended revisions. Where
possible, comments should include
references with specific sections or
paragraphs. The BLM is not obligated to
consider or include comments received
after the close of the comment period or
comments delivered to an address other
than the one listed above.
Comments, including names and
street addresses of respondents, will be
available for public review at the BLM
Miles City Field Office address listed in
ADDRESSES above. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comments, you
should be aware that your entire
comment—including your personal
identifying information—may be made
publicly available at any time. While
you can ask us in your comment to
withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we

Director or other authorized official of
the Department of the Interior, who may
sustain, vacate, or modify this realty
action in whole or in part.

The areas described aggregate 67 acres according to the official
