Federal Register notice inviting the
public to comment on this application
for a permit to conduct certain activities
with endangered species (75 FR 65505).
The applicant subsequently submitted
additional information in support of
their application; therefore, we are
reopening the comment period. The
applicant requests a permit to import
biological specimens of Asian elephant
(Elephus maximus) from wild animals
in all range countries and captive-held
animals in countries worldwide for the
purpose of scientific research. This
notification covers activities to be
conducted by the applicant over a 5year period.
Applicant: Tanganyika Wildlife Park,
Goddard, KS; PRT–25482A
The applicant requests a permit to
import four live Cheetahs (Acinonyx
jubatus jubatus), Bred-in-Captivity for

and captive breeding for the
enhancement of the survival of the
species. This notification covers
activities to be conducted by the
applicant over a 5-year period.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:09 Dec 02, 2010
Jkt 223001
The One
Nevada Transmission Line (ON Line
Project) Final EIS is available for review
at the following locations:
—BLM Ely District Office, 702 North
Industrial Way, Ely, Nevada
White Pine County Library, 950
Campton Street, Ely, Nevada
BLM Nevada State Office, 1340
Financial Blvd., Reno, Nevada
BLM Caliente Field Station, U.S.

Nevada
North Las Vegas Library, 2300 Civic
Center Drive, North Las Vegas,
Nevada
BLM Office of Public Affairs, Room
406–LS, 1620 L Street, Washington,
DC
On March 30, 2009, the BLM received
a right-of-way application and Plan of
Development from NV Energy for a 236mile-long 500 kilovolt (kV) transmission
line and telecommunication facilities
running generally from Ely to Las Vegas,
Nevada; one new substation near Ely; a
loop-in of an existing 345 kV
transmission line at the new substation;
an expansion of one existing substation
on private land near Battle Mountain,
Nevada; and appurtenant facilities and
access roads. The project name is the
One Nevada Transmission Line Project
and is referred to as the ‘‘ON Line
Project.’’
The components of the ON Line
Project had been part of the 2006 Ely
Energy Center (EEC) proposal for a coal
fired power-generating facility that
included rail lines, transmission lines
with fiber optic cable, new and
expanded substations, water well-fields
and pipeline delivery systems, and
associated facilities to be located mostly
on public lands in White Pine, Lincoln,
Nye, Elko, and Clark counties, Nevada.
On January 26, 2007, the BLM
published a Notice of Intent to prepare
an EIS for the EEC and its associated
facilities and held public scoping
meetings (see 72 FR 3871). On January
2, 2009, the BLM published a Notice of
Availability initiating a 90-day public
comment period on its Draft EIS (see 74
FR 115). In February 2009, during the
public comment period, the proponent
made public its intention to postpone
the coal-fired power generation facilities
associated with the EEC in its proposal
until carbon capture technology
becomes commercially feasible.
On July 29, 2009, the BLM published
in the Federal Register a Notice of
Intent to develop an EIS for the ON Line
project and invited the public to submit
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

scoping comments (see 74 FR 37728).
An Draft EIS was developed for the
following reasons: the ON Line
proposed action was part of the EEC
proposed action assessed in the EEC
Draft EIS; removing the coal-fired power
generation facilities from the
application requires a change in the
description of the purpose and need for
the project; and the assessment of
impacts in association with the power
generation facilities in the Draft EIS are
no longer applicable. The ON Line Draft
EIS incorporated all appurtenant
sections of the EEC Draft EIS along with
new information such that it stands on
its own. Applicable comments collected
during the public comment period on
the EEC Draft EIS were carried forward
into the ON Line EIS process.
On November 20, 2009, the BLM
published in the Federal Register a
Notice of Availability for the Draft EIS
for the ON Line project and initiated a
60-day public comment period (see 74
FR 60290). Public meetings on the Draft
EIS were conducted in Las Vegas,
Caliente, and Ely during December
2009. Nineteen comments were received
and taken into consideration in the
preparation of the Final EIS. Public
comments identified potential conflicts
with the Robinson Summit substation
and resulted in an additional alternative
site for the substation being added to the
Final EIS.
The comments also identified the
need to clarify several sections of the
document.
Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6 and 1506.10.
