SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM authorizes coal exploration on lands 
not contained in a federal coal lease per the Mineral Leasing Act of 
1920, as amended. This BLM coal exploration program allows the public a 
methodology to gain geologic information to determine the viability of 
the coal resources. The BLM issues the licenses for up to two years. If 
the holder requires more time for the exploration, the BLM can issue a 
new license based on a new application. The BLM regulations at 43 CFR 
3410.2 require the publication of an invitation for interested parties 
to participate in the coal exploration in the Federal Register. 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:
