              REPORT TO THE CONGRESS





              BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

              OF THE UNITED STATES



                                                       LM099395




              Role Of Federal Coal Resources In

              Meeting National Energy Goals

              Needs To Be Determined And

              The Leasing Process Improved

              Department of the Interior

              The Department of the Interior has not estab-
              lished goals of how much land with coal
              resources to lease and when to lease to meet
              national coal production goals.

              Some fundamental attempts should be made
              to (1) better identify the amount of coal
              under lease and prospecting permit and (2)
              relate the amount of Federal coal required to
              meet national goals to any program of
              renewed leasing. Interior does not presently
              contemplate providing the Nation with this
              data.

              Also, the effectiveness of the leasing process is
              weakened by the deficiencies in
                 --Interior's coal resource mapping pro-
                 gram;

                 --drilling programs, designed to obtain
                 data for mineral classification and envi-
                 romental protection; and

                 --the land management planning system.
