Federal officials postponed a Wyoming coal lease sale scheduled for Wednesday — a decision prompted by a low bid from the only bidder in Montana for 167 million tons of coal.

Officials said another date will be set for the West Antelope III lease.

Federal watchdog groups raised concerns after a Montana coal lease sale on October 6th drew a low bid and a Wyoming sale scheduled for October 8th was postponed without a new date—prompting doubts that bids meet fair market value for public returns.

Lawmakers, including Sen. Cynthia Lummis, pushed to reverse policy changes that ended new coal leasing in the Powder River Basin, arguing that these moves have hurt local taxpayer funding.

The Wyoming Cowgirls opened ITA Mountain Region play in Provo with three singles wins and one doubles win, with Serina Abriola winning two three-set matches—she secured a tiebreak win in one and will now advance to the next qualifying round.
