SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM,
along with the California Department of
Fish and Game, the California Energy
Commission, and the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, propose to develop the
DRECP to advance State and Federal
conservation goals in the Mojave and
Colorado desert regions in California,
while also facilitating the timely
permitting of renewable energy projects
under applicable State and Federal
laws. Specifically, the planning goals for
the DRECP include, but are not limited
to, the following:
• Provide for the long-term
conservation and management of
identified species in the planning area;
• Preserve, restore, and enhance
natural communities and ecosystems
that support identified species in the
planning area;
• Build on the Competitive
Renewable Energy Zones identified by
the State’s Renewable Energy
Transmission Initiative that depict areas
where renewable energy generation
project permitting may be expedited;
• Identify the most appropriate
locations in the planning area for the
development of utility-scale renewable
energy projects, taking into account
potential impacts to threatened and
endangered species, sensitive natural
communities, and cultural resources;

• Coordinate and standardize
mitigation and compensation
requirements for renewable energy
activities in the planning area; and
• Develop an efficient process for
authorizing renewable energy projects
in the planning area that results in
greater conservation values than the
process provided by project-by-project
or species-by-species reviews.
The purpose of the public scoping
process is to determine relevant issues
that will influence the scope of the
environmental analysis, including
alternatives, and guide the process for
developing the EIS. The BLM has
identified the following preliminary
issues: Special status species, mitigation
measures for special status species,
vegetation communities, cultural
resources, special area designations, and
areas of high potential for renewable
energy development.
Authorization of this proposal may
require amendment of the CDCA Plan.
By this notice, the BLM is complying
with requirements in 43 CFR 1610.2(c)
to notify the public of potential
amendments to land use plans,
predicated on the findings of the EIS. If
a land use plan amendment is
necessary, the BLM will integrate the
land use planning process with the
NEPA process for this proposal.
The BLM will use the NEPA
commenting process to satisfy the
public involvement process for Section
106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470f), as
provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3).
Native American Tribal consultations
will be conducted in accordance with
policy and Tribal concerns will be given
due consideration, including impacts on
Indian trust assets. Federal, State,
Tribes, and local agencies, along with
other stakeholders that may be
interested or affected by the BLM’s
decision on this project, are invited to
participate in the scoping process and,
if eligible, may request or be requested
by the BLM to participate as a
cooperating agency.
Before including your address, phone
number, e-mail address, or other
personal identifying information in your
comment, you should be aware that
your entire comment—including your
personal identifying information—may
be made publicly available at any time.
While you can ask us in your comment
to withhold your personal identifying
information from public review, we
cannot guarantee that we will be able to
do so.
