Reverses coal leasing ban in Wyoming area

Cancels a 2024 Bureau of Land Management plan that stopped new federal coal leasing in the Buffalo Field Office in Wyoming and restores the 2015 plan.

  • Nullifies the November 20, 2024, Bureau of Land Management plan for the Buffalo Field Office in Wyoming
  • Requires the Bureau of Land Management to follow the 2015 plan, which allowed coal leasing
  • Comes after a court told the agency to study climate impacts of coal leasing
  • The 2024 plan had made coal unavailable for future leasing in the planning area
