Notice of a Public Meeting on the Western Energy Company's 
Rosebud Mine Area F Draft Environmental Impact Statement

AGENCY: Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement, 
Department of the Interior.

ACTION: Notice of public meeting.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: We, the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement 
(OSMRE), are announcing the date, time, and location of the public 
meeting to be held on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 
for the Western Energy Company's Rosebud Mine Area F (Project) in 
southeastern Montana.

DATES: OSMRE and co-lead agency, Montana Department of Environmental 
Quality (DEQ), will hold a public meeting on the Draft EIS on February 
13, 2018, between 3:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. at the Colstrip High School 
Auditorium at 5000 Pine Butte Drive, Colstrip, MT 59323.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Logan Sholar, OSMRE Project 
Coordinator; Telephone: 303-293-5036; Address: 1999 Broadway Street, 
Suite 3320, Denver, Colorado 80202-3050; email: [email protected].

ADDRESSES: See the DATES section of this notice for the address at 
which OSMRE will hold the public meeting on the Draft EIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: OSMRE published its notice of availability 
for the Draft EIS and the Project in the Federal Register on January 3, 
2018 (83 FR 393), and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency posted 
their notice of availability on January 5, 2018 (83 FR 678). If the DEQ 
approves the permit and a Federal mining plan for the Project is 
approved as proposed, at the current rate of production, the 
operational life of the Rosebud Mine would be extended by 8 years. 
Mining operations in the project area, which would commence after all 
permits and approvals have been secured and a reclamation and 
performance bond has been posted, would last 19 years. Western Energy 
estimates that 70.8 million tons of recoverable coal reserves exist in 
the project area and would be removed during the 19-year operations 
period.
    The primary purpose of the meeting is to obtain input on the 
Project and Draft EIS. Therefore, we encourage you to limit your 
testimony to the merits of the Project and Draft EIS.
    The public meeting will be conducted in an open-house style format 
and will include informational displays and areas where attendees may 
record and submit written comments. At 5:00 p.m., DEQ and OSMRE staff 
will explain the EIS public involvement process and provide a brief 
description of the proposed project. Following this introduction, 
attendees will have the opportunity to provide oral testimony until 
6:15 p.m. Oral testimony will be limited to three minutes per person. A 
transcriber will record the oral comments for the project record. 
Interpreters will be available upon request.
    If you are a disabled individual who needs reasonable 
accommodations to attend the public meeting, please contact the person 
listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT at least one week before 
the meeting.
