Three environmental group are suing the Department of the Interior in an attempt to increase its regulation of mining in the Powder River Basin -- the nation's top coal-producing region.

The lawsuit, filed today by WildEarth Guardians, Defenders of Wildlife and the Sierra Club, contends the department should recertify the basin as a "coal-producing region."

The regulatory classification would expand the Bureau of Land Management's authority over the leasing of coal in the region.

The classification was removed from the Powder River Basin in 1990 as part of an attempt to reduce regulations on coal leasing.

WildEarth Guardians is confronting coal at many levels:

* We are holding the line and preventing the construction of any new coal-fired power plants in the West.
* We are spurring the retirement of existing coal-fired power plants by holding utilities accountable to strengthening clean air standards and other environmental requirements.
* We are enforcing the Clean Air Act against coal-fired power plants, providing an incentive to transition to clean energy.
* We are protecting the west’s most imperiled wildlife, fish, and plants from the harmful impacts of air pollution from coal-fired power plants.
* We are challenging coal leasing and mining in the Wyoming’s Powder River Basin, the source of 42% of all coal burned in the U.S.
* We are preventing the construction of new coal mines in Colorado;
