Summary

Authorizes mining of about 800 acres of federal coal in Musselshell County, Montana by requiring the Secretary of the Interior to approve the previously issued Bull Mountains Mine No. 1 mining plan modification (Amendment 3 for Federal Coal Lease MTM 97988) without modification or delay. The Secretary must approve that mining plan modification within 30 days of enactment. The change directs immediate administrative approval of a specific mining plan for a defined parcel of federal land, enabling coal extraction under the approved plan and limiting further federal modification or delay of the plan for that lease.
