SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: After
extensive environmental analysis,
collaborative public processes,
consideration of public comments, and
application of pertinent Federal laws
and policies, it is the decision of the
BLM to issue a right-of-way grant to
Garkane Energy, Inc. for the
construction, operation, and
maintenance of approximately 7.1 miles
of a 138 kV transmission line and access
routes for the construction of the project
across public lands administered by the
Grand Staircase-Escalante National
Monument Office (3.7 miles) and the
Kanab Field Office (3.4 miles); and to
amend the Grand Staircase-Escalante
National MMP to provide for such
action. The right-of-way grant will
authorize the use of public lands for the
project for a term of 30 years, which is
subject to renewal. The Approved MMP
Amendment allows for the issuance of
this right-of-way grant by changing a
zoning decision in the MMP from
Primitive Zone to a 300-foot-wide
Passage Zone to accommodate an
existing transmission line and route, as
well as the Applicant’s proposed power
line. The MMP Amendment also
changes the Visual Resource
Management classification from a Class
II to a Class III to allow for additional
modifications to the landscape within
the 300-foot-wide zone. Amendment of
the MMP and granting the right-of-way
will have minimal effect on the

landforms, cultural features, or other
important values specifically
enumerated in the Grand StaircaseEscalante National Monument
Proclamation, as they would be
minimized through implementation of
mitigation described in the ROD. The
U.S. Forest Service, Dixie National
Forest, was the lead Federal agency for
completion of the EIS, with the BLM
and the National Park Service serving as
cooperating agencies. The agencies
sought participation from the public,
tribes, and local, state, and Federal
agencies throughout the EIS process. In
addition to the 7.1 miles of power line
located on public land, the proposal, in
total, encompasses another 22.3 miles of
power line that traverse U.S. Forest
Service, private, and state lands. A
separate ROD was issued by the U.S.
Forest Service in April, 2011 for
granting of the special use permit across
U.S. Forest Service lands. The selected
alternative avoids construction of the
power line across National Park Service
lands.
The U.S. Forest Service and the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
each published a Notice of Availability
(NOA) of the Draft Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS)/Draft MMP
Amendment for public review and
comment in the Federal Register. The
U.S. Forest Service published the NOA
of the Draft EIS/Draft MMP Amendment
on December 8, 2009 and the EPA
published the NOA of the Draft EIS/
Draft MMP Amendment on December
11, 2009, which initiated a 90-day
public comment period. The comment
period ended on March 12, 2010. The
Federal agencies received 19 submittals
containing comments from government
and non-governmental organizations
and private citizens. The comments in
each submittal were identified,
analyzed, and addressed in the Final
EIS. The Draft EIS analyzed four
transmission line route alternatives and
disclosed impacts associated with these
alternatives, including: Alternative A—
the Proposed Action; Alternative B—a
route that paralleled the existing 69 kV
route through Bryce Canyon National
Park; Alternative C—the Cedar Forks
Southern Route; and the No Action
Alternative. The Final EIS was an
abbreviated EIS that summarized the
impacts of combining portions of
Alternatives A and C as the Agency
Preferred Alternative, and responded to
public comments. The BLM’s decision
authorizes issuance of a right-of-way
grant to Garkane Energy, Inc. for the
Agency’s Preferred Alternative on BLM
administered lands, as analyzed in the
Final EIS.The U.S. Forest Service and

EPA published an NOA of the Final EIS/
Proposed MMP Amendment for public
review and comment in the Federal
Register on April 8, 2011. After
publication of the Final EIS/Proposed
MMP Amendment, there were no
protests received on the MMP
Amendment during the 30-day protest
period beginning April 8, 2011, and
ending on May 8, 2011, pursuant to
43 CFR 1610.5–2. The Utah Governor’s
Office did not identify any
inconsistencies between the Final EIS/
Proposed MMP Amendment and state or
local plans, policies, and programs
during the 60-day Governor’s
Consistency Review, in accordance with
planning regulations at 43 CFR 1610.3–
2(e). As a result of the Governor’s
Consistency Review, no changes were
made in preparing the Approved MMP
Amendment.
Any party adversely affected by the
decision on the right-of-way application
may appeal by October 14, 2011,
pursuant to 43 CFR part 4 subpart E,
and 43 CFR 2801.10. If you wish to file
a petition for a stay of effectiveness of
the right-of-way decision during the
time your appeal is being reviewed by
the Interior Board of Appeals, the
petition for a stay must accompany your
Notice of Appeal (43 CFR 4.21 or
2801.10). The appeal and petition for a
stay, if requested, must be filed with the
Utah State Director at BLM, Utah State
Office, P.O. Box 45155, Salt Lake City,
Utah, 84145–0155, by October 14, 2011.
The appeal should state the specific
decision(s) in the ROD which is being
appealed. Please consult the appropriate
regulations (43 CFR part 4, subpart E)
for further appeal requirements.
