Under <br /> 43 CFR 3452.1-3, the BLM can approve a relinquishment if it determines (1) the relinquishment <br /> will not impair the public interest, (2) any accrued rentals and royalties have been paid, and (3) <br /> the lessee has met all the obligations under the regulations and terms of the lease. <br /> On April 8, 2019, BLM's Little Snake Field Office (LSFO) determined that accepting the <br /> relinquishment will not impair the public interest. The LSFO also found that TC met all of its <br /> obligations under the terms of the lease and applicable regulations and are in compliance with <br /> the completion of operations and permanent abandonment procedures. The Office of Natural <br /> Resources Revenue reviewed the lease status and indicated there are no accrued rentals and <br /> royalties due. Therefore, pursuant to regulations found at 43 CFR 3452, the BLM accepts this <br /> relinquishment, effective April 29, 2019, the date of filing. <br /> The liability period under Federal Coal Lease Bond COB000255, surety bond number 1033792, <br /> with Twentymile Coal, LLC, as the principal and Lexon Insurance Company as surety, may be <br /> terminated as of the date of this decision. <br /> The case file is closed effective the date of this decision and our records noted accordingly. <br /> Please contact Becky Backlund, Land Law Examiner, at (303) 239-3987 with any questions. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Jamie E.
