Eastern Federal Coal Lease Form
Instructions
For each issuance, transfer, or exchange of a federal coal lease east
of the 100th Meridian, supply coal reserve information, by
state, for all coal located east of the 100th Meridian, but
excluding coal east of the Meridian in North Dakota, on the attached
two sheets. For each issuance, transfer, or exchange of a federal coal
lease in Texas, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas,
Illinois, Indiana and Western Kentucky, the reporting company will also
be required to complete the form entitled "Western Federal Coal Lease
Form."
- On each sheet, fill in the name of the reporting company and the
date of submission. On the first two sheets, indicate the units of
measure (e.g., million tons).
- On the sheet labeled EASTERN TOTAL IN-PLACE COAL RESERVES, supply
total in-place coal reserves according to the criteria below. If the
only available figures are for recoverable reserves, they should be
converted to in-place figures as well as possible. Make estimates
if necessary.
- On the sheet labeled EASTERN UNCOMMITTED IN-PLACE COAL RESERVES,
supply total in-place coal reserves as in paragraph 2 but exclude
those dedicated to, or otherwise necessary to fulfill, current contractual
obligations and those set aside for the reporting company's own use.
- On the form labeled DESCRIPTION OF COAL IN PROPOSED LEASE, report
reserves as in paragraph 2 and provide the other information requested.
- Include any reserves owned or leased by the reporting company or
any affiliate. "Affiliate" of the lessee means any person, association
or corporation which controls, is controlled by, or is under common
control with, the lessee. "Control" includes having or acquiring effective
power or influence to determine the policies, business practices,
or decision-making process of another person, association, or corporation,
whether exercised directly or through ownership of stock or assets,
representation on the board of directors, or election of one or more
officers. Control shall be presumed to exist whenever any person,
association or corporation owns ten (10) percent or more of the outstanding
voting securities of another person, association or corporation. In
the case of joint ventures, prorate reserves according to the shares
of the joint venture. "Joint venture" means a corporation, partnership,
or association through which the lessee (or one or more affiliates
of the lessee) and one or more non-affiliate corporations, partnerships,
or associations own or lease coal reserves.
- Use ASTM definitions for coal ranks, low, medium, and high volatility
(ANSI/ASTM D 388-77), and for free swelling index or FSI (ANSI/ASTM
D 720-67). Report reserves in each coal rank separately. Do not report
anthracite.
- Except in Alabama, report reserves according to the Geological
Survey's definition of measured and indicated reserves (i.e., based
on observations within 3/4 mile). In Alabama, report reserves that
are measured, indicated, or inferred (i.e., within three (3) miles
of an observation). To the extent it is not possible to follow these
criteria precisely, follow them to the extent possible.
- Assign reserves of bituminous coal with free swelling index greater
than 4 to sulfur categories based on the most likely sulfur content
as shipped (i.e., after any preparation which would be undertaken)
under current economic conditions and present technology.
- For bituminous coal, report coal in seams of 28 inches or more
and depths of 1,000 feet or less, except for bituminous coal in Alabama.
For such Alabama coal, report in accordance with the criterial in
paragraph 10. For lignite, report coal in seams of 60 inches or more
and in depths of 120 feet or less. To the extent that it is not possible
to follow these criteria precisely, follow them to the extent possible.
Estimates are acceptable.
- In Alabama, report bituminous coal as follows:
- coal in depths of 120 feet in seams of 14 inches or more,
- coal in depths of 120-1,000 feet in seams of 28 inches or more,
and
- coal in depths of 1,000-2,000 feet in seams of 42 inches or
more.
- Report reserves in each state on a separate line except for Kentucky;
report Eastern Kentucky and Western Kentucky on separate lines.
- Supply column totals for each form.
- On a separate sheet of paper, list all corporations, associations
or persons for which reserves are reported. In the case of joint ventures,
give the share of reserves that is reported. Also indicate whether
the reporting company, any affiliate (as defined in instruction 5)
or any reporting company or any affiliate participates in a joint
venture is a railroad, an electric utility or a nuclear fuel fabricator
or nuclear fuel converter or an affiliate of any such company. If
so, identify the railroad, electric utility or nuclear fuel fabricator
or nuclear fuel converter and explain how it is related to the reporting
company.
Burden Statement
Under the Paperwork Reduction Act, a person is not required to respond
to a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB control
number. We try to create forms and instructions that are accurate, can
be easily understood, and which impose the least possible burden to
you to provide the information. The estimated average response time
to complete these forms is two hours. If you have any comments regarding
the accuracy of this estimate, or suggestions for making these forms
simpler, you can write to the Transportation, Energy and Agriculture
Section, Antitrust Division, U.S. Department of Justice, 325 7th
Street, N.W., Suite 500, Washington, D.C. 20530.
