Title: Coal Moisture 
Abstract: This rule adds specific criteria an operator must use in determining an excess moisture allowance claimed under 30 CFR 870.12. These criteria will codify technical guidance contained in AML Payer Letters issued since June 1988. The rule will identify acceptable methods and procedures for estimating total and inherent moisture contained in low rank coal. The criteria are based upon OSM experience and industry practices.
