Report To The Congress.


OF THE UNITED STATES


Issues Facing The

Future Of Federal

Coal Leasing



This report identifies and analyzes a broad
range of issues affecting the development and
implementation of a sound Federal coal man-
agement program--particularly the use of
Western coal in meeting America's energy
needs.

On June 4, 1979, the Secretary of the Interior
announced a new Federal coal program, call-
ing for a resumption of competitive leasing
for the first time since a moratorium was im-
posed in 1971. Leasing is to take place begin-
ning in January 1981. But--as the report
points out--many questions remain un-
answered, some of which GAO believes need
to be resolved before further long-term leasing
can take place. Others can be worked out dur-
ing the early stages of the new leasing pro-
gram.

GAO believes early consideration and resolu-
tion of these issues is needed for a coal pro-
gram that responds to national needs expedi-
tiously--and in the most effective way.
