                        existing Federal coal leases for mines that 
                        produce fugitive methane emissions to

                                    (I) the capture of fugitive methane 
                                emissions for beneficial use, such as 
                                generating electrical power, producing 
                                usable heat, transporting the methane 
                                to market, transforming the fugitive 
                                methane emissions into a different 
                                marketable material; or
                                    (II) if the beneficial use of the 
                                fugitive methane emissions is not 
                                feasible, the destruction of the 
                                fugitive methane emissions by flaring.
                            (ii) Guidance.--In furtherance of the 
                        purposes of this paragraph, not later than 1

                        implementation of Federal authorities and 
                        programs to encourage the capture for use, or 
                        destruction by flaring, of fugitive methane 
                        emissions while minimizing impacts on natural 
                        resources or other public interest values.
                    (E) Royalties.--The Secretary shall determine

            (3) Fugitive methane emissions from abandoned coal mines.--
                    (A) In general.--Except as otherwise provided in 
                this section, notwithstanding section 303, subject to 
                valid existing rights, and in accordance with section 
                21 of the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 241) and any 
                other applicable law, the Secretary shall--
                            (i) authorize the capture for use, or 
                        destruction by flaring, of fugitive methane 
                        emissions from abandoned coal mines on Federal

                            (ii) make available for leasing such 
                        fugitive methane emissions from abandoned coal 
                        mines on Federal land as the Secretary 
                        considers to be in the public interest.
                    (B) Source.--To the maximum extent practicable, the 
                Secretary shall offer for lease each significant vent, 
                seep, or other source of fugitive methane emissions 
                from abandoned coal mines.
                    (C) Bid qualifications.--A bid to lease fugitive 
                methane emissions under this paragraph shall specify 
                whether the prospective lessee intends--
                            (i) to capture the fugitive methane 
                        emissions for beneficial use, such as 
                        generating electrical power, producing usable 
                        heat, transporting the methane to market, 
                        transforming the fugitive methane emissions 
                        into a different marketable material;
                            (ii) to destroy the fugitive methane 
                        emissions by flaring; or
                            (iii) to employ a specific combination of--
                                    (I) capturing the fugitive methane 
                                emissions for beneficial use; and
                                    (II) destroying the fugitive 
                                methane emission by flaring.
                    (D) Priority.--
                            (i) In general.--If there is more than one 
                        qualified bid for a lease under this paragraph, 
                        the Secretary shall select the bid that the 
                        Secretary determines is likely to most 
                        significantly advance the public interest.
                            (ii) Considerations.--In determining the 
                        public interest under clause (i), the Secretary 
                        shall take into consideration--
                                    (I) the size of the overall 
                                decrease in the time-integrated 
                                radiative forcing of the fugitive 
                                methane emissions;
                                    (II) the impacts to other natural 
                                resource values, including wildlife, 
                                water, and air; and
                                    (III) other public interest values, 
                                including scenic, economic, recreation, 
                                and cultural values.
                    (E) Lease form.--
                            (i) In general.--The Secretary shall 
                        develop and provide to prospective bidders a 
                        lease form for leases issued under this

                            (ii) Due diligence.--The lease form 
                        developed under clause (i) shall include terms 
                        and conditions requiring the leased fugitive 
                        methane emissions to be put to beneficial use 
                        or flared by not later than 1 year after the 
                        date of issuance of the lease.
                    (F) Royalty rate.--The Secretary shall develop a 
                minimum bid and royalty rate for leases under this 
                paragraph to advance the purposes of this section, to 
                the maximum extent practicable.
    (d) Sequestration.--If, by not later than 4 years after the date of 
enactment of this Act, any significant fugitive methane emissions from 
abandoned coal mines on Federal land are not leased under subsection 
(c)(3), the Secretary shall, in accordance with applicable law, take 
all reasonable measures--
            (1) to cap those fugitive methane emissions at the source 
        in any case in which the cap will result in the long-term 
        sequestration of all or a significant portion of the fugitive 
        methane emissions; or
            (2) if sequestration under paragraph (1) is not feasible, 
        destroy the fugitive methane emissions by flaring.
    (e) Report to Congress.--Not later than 4 years after the date of 
enactment of this Act the Secretary shall submit to the Committee on 
Natural Resources of the House of Representatives and the Committee on 
Energy and Natural Resources of the Senate a report detailing--
            (1) the economic and environmental impacts of the pilot 
        program, including information on increased royalties and 
        estimates of avoided greenhouse gas emissions; and
            (2) any recommendations by the Secretary on whether the 
        pilot program could be expanded geographically to include other 
        significant sources of fugitive methane emissions from coal 
        mines.

                reduction of any water right reserved or appropriated 
                by the United States in the State on or before the date 
                of enactment of this Act; or
