Hearings on H.R. 1313 examined the impact of coal severance taxes on national policies aimed at increasing the production and use of coal. High energy prices impose a burden on interregional commerce because severance taxes now represent major transfers of wealth. H.R. 1313 proposes a limit of 12.5% of the value of the coal, which mineral-rich states feel is inadequate to cover the environmental and socio-economic burdens of energy development. The text of H.R. 1313 is followed by the testimony of 19 witnesses representing the affected states and utilities and by additional material submitted for the record. (DCK)
