Coal Pipeline Act of 1983

Summary

Coal Pipeline Act of 1983 - Amends the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920 to authorize the Secretary of the Interior to grant or renew rights-of-way over, under, upon, or through any Federal lands for the construction, operation, maintenance, or extension of coal pipelines, if the person seeking the right-of-way has been issued a certification that it is in the national interest to construct, operate, and maintain the pipeline (or extend the pipeline). Prohibits granting a right-of-way over, under, upon, or through an historic site unless there is no feasible alternative and planning is made to minimize damage to the site. Requires a right-of-way granted or renewed under this Act to be granted or renewed in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act. Prohibits the provisions of this act from affecting an existing or pending right-of-way except that if a certification has been made any renewal or extension may only be made pursuant to this Act. Authorizes the Secretary to issue regulations necessary to carry out this Act. Prohibits the United States or its agents from reserving, using, or claiming water in any State for a pipeline for which a certification has been issued unless such action takes place pursuant to State law. Authorizes acquisition of private lands by eminent domain if a certification has been issued, except with respect to historic sites or wildlife refuges. Requires the Secretary, if he or she determines that it is in the national interest, to approve an application for certification. Authorizes the Secretary to modify such application before its approval. Requires the Secretary in making such application determination to consider the extent to which a pipeline would: (1) help meet national needs; (2) enhance competition and provide new market outlets and opportunities; (3) contribute to national security; and (4) affect the environment. Directs the Secretary to notify the Attorney General of any pending application prior to making certification so as to permit the Attorney General to conduct an antitrust review. Requires every coal pipeline carrier issued a certification to provide service on reasonable request. Permits the use of eminent domain to acquire any portion of a right-of-way acquired under this Act if the use of such right-of-way is consistent with the operation and maintenance of the pipeline. Requires pipelines to be underground to the maximum extent possible. Directs the Secretary to issue regulations establishing uniform Federal standards for the safe design, installation, inspection, and maintenance of coal pipeline facilities. Exempts facilities under construction. Sets forth civil and criminal penalties for violations of such regulations. Authorizes the Attorney General to institute a civil action for a restraining order or injunction to enforce any provision of this Act. Sets forth civil and criminal penalties for violations of this Act.
