Comment on FR Doc # E7-16629

I am a citizen concerned with the loss of valuable wilderness and culture in the pursuit of profits. Throughout the years Appalachia has consistently been overlooked as an expendable part of American land and culture. Allowing Coal companies more of a right to the land than not only the inhabitants, but the Earth itself, is not only wrong, unlawful, unconstitutional and immoral, it is illogical. Why are we willing to sacrifice thousands of peoples lives, local histories and health for the sake of Coal companies? I am not willing to stand for higher profits at a higher human cost. I have read articles concerning people like Marie Gunnoe who has suffered loss after loss due to Big Coal's encroachment on her land. Please respect the rights of the local Appalachians, they'd respect yours. Thank you for your time.
