BOX 187 <br /> Craig, CO 81626 <br /> Partial Relinquishment of Surface <br /> Mineable Coal Accepted <br /> On February 2, 2021. the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) received a letter from <br /> Trapper Mining Inc ("I'MI), which requested the partial relinquishment of the surface <br /> mineable coal under a portion of Federal Coal Lease C00079641. Under 43 CFR <br /> 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, <br /> and (3) the lessee has met all the obligations under the regulations and terms ofthe lease. <br /> On March 9, 2021, BLM's Little Snake Field Office (LSFO) determined that <br /> accepting the relinquishment will not impair the public interest. The LSFO found that <br /> TMI met all of its obligations under the terms of the lease and applicable regulations <br /> and is in compliance with the completion of surface operations and coal reserves will <br /> be adjusted in accordance with 43 CFR 3480. Any final surface reclamation and <br /> permanent abandonment procedures remain subject to 43 CFR 3484.2 (b). Further, <br /> the Office of Natural Resources Revenue (ON RR) reviewed the lease status and <br /> indicated on letter dated April 14, 2021 there are no accrued rentals and <br /> royalties due. Therefore, pursuant to regulations found at 43 CFR 3452, the BLM <br /> accepts the partial relinquishment of surface mineable coal on coal lease C00079641 <br /> effective February 2, 2021, the date of filing of the application, including the H, I, L, <br /> M, and Q seams as to the following described lands in Moffat County, Colorado: <br /> INTERIOR RCGION 7• U11111 It COI ORA DO BAtiIN <br /> (t 10KA00 NlI\, MIXI� 0 U1411 k%)OMlN(, <br />
