SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Coal exploration on lands not contained in a
Federal coal lease is authorized under the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920,
as amended. This provides the public with a methodology to gain
additional geologic information of the coal underlying the exploration
area to determine the viability of the coal resources. An exploration
license is issued for no more than 2 years from the effective date of
the license. If more time is necessary for exploration, a new license
can be issued based on a new application. The BLM regulations at 43 CFR
3410.2 require publication in the Federal Register of an invitation for
interested parties to participate in the coal exploration. The BLM may
require a modification to the exploration plan to accommodate the
legitimate exploration needs of persons seeking to participate. The
proposed exploration area includes the following described lands in
Sanpete County, Utah:
Salt Lake Meridian, UT
T. 20 S., R 5 E.,
secs. 8 and 9;
secs. 14 thru 18;
