Priorities for Federal Coal Reform

The Institute for Policy Integrity outlines recommendations for the U.S. Department of the Interior's review of the federal coal program, aiming to increase taxpayer revenue, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and align land management with national climate goals.

• The U.S. Department of the Interior initiated a comprehensive review of the federal coal program on January 15, 2016, via a Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement to evaluate leasing practices, environmental and public health impacts, and taxpayer returns.
• The report proposes twelve recommendations to modernize the federal coal program to maximize net benefits for taxpayers, specifically by increasing revenue, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, and ensuring federal land management supports U.S. climate change objectives.
