§ 3481.4-1 — -1 Can I Temporarily Interrupt Coal Severance And Still Be Qualified As Producing?

43 C.F.R. § 3481.4-1

View:

Yes, a temporary interruption in coal severance allows you (the lessee/operator) to halt the extraction of coal for a limited period of time without jeopardizing your qualifications under section (2)(a)(2)(A) of MLA to receive additional leases. During the period of a temporary interruption in coal severance, BLM still considers you lease or LMU to be producing so as not to preclude you from receiving a new or transferred lease.
