Wyoming Coal Data - Coal Lease Modifications and Coal Lease Applications

The BLM maintains records of pending competitive lease and noncompetitive lease modification applications and lease sales and lease modification offers during the year. This table provides information about each individual Lease by Application (LBA) or lease modification application (LMA). The BLM will not publish its presale estimate of LBAs or LMAs. The BLM will publish the amount of bids received for an LBA but will not publish the BLM presale estimate for either an LBA or a LMA. LMA FMV will be published for a lease once the applicant accepts the BLM offer and BLM issues a decision to approve the modification. Specifically, each summary provides a short chronology of the application with information about the scoping meetings, hearings, hearing transcripts, environmental analysis, decisions, coal quantity and quality, and the results of the competitive LBA sales or noncompetitive LMA offers. Click on the link in the summary to access the published FMV information for the lease sales and lease modifications. To review the FMV determination process, please see the publically available 3073 - Coal Evaluation Handbook and Manual found on the BLM Information Resource Management websites. All documents made available to the public do not contain confidential business information, which is withheld pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act exemption 4, 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4).
