cost burden. We estimate 1,000 Haskell
applications at a $10 filing fee charge
per application. The fee for SIPI is
included in tuition costs and therefore,
is not included in this estimate,

ACTION: Notice of availability.
AGENCY:
The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM) announces the
availability of the Record of Decision
(ROD)/Approved Amendment to the
California Desert Conservation Area
(CDCA) Plan, the applicable Resource
Management Plan (RMP) for the project
site and the surrounding areas, located
in the California Desert District. The
Secretary of the Interior approved the
ROD on December 8, 2011, which
constitutes the final decision of the
Department.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD/
Approved Amendment to the CDCA
Plan are available upon request from the
Field Manager, Palm Springs-South

Management, 1201 Bird Center Drive,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Rice Solar
Energy, LLC, a subsidiary of
SolarReserve, LLC plans to construct a
150 megawatt (MW) solar concentrating
thermal project on 1,410 acres of a 2,560
acre parcel of private land. The site is
located 40 miles northwest of Blythe,
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
16:49 Dec 14, 2011
Jkt 226001
California, in Riverside County,
California. The major generation
equipment that makes up the
concentrating solar thermal electrical
generation plant includes: A central
receiver tower, sun tracking heliostat
field, and an integrated thermal storage
system using molten salt as the heat
transfer and storage medium.
With these components, a large field
of mirrors or heliostats concentrates and
focuses the sun’s energy onto a central
receiver. The project uses thermal
energy storage that allows solar energy
to be captured throughout the day and
retained in a molten salt heat transfer
fluid. When electricity is generated, hot
liquid salt is routed to heat exchangers
to heat water and produce steam. The
steam is used to generate electricity in
a conventional steam turbine cycle.
Rice Solar Energy submitted a rightof-way (ROW) application to the BLM in
association with the private land solar
energy project. This ROW application
was filed to lease approximately 150
acres of BLM-administered land needed
to construct and operate a 161/230 kV
electrical transmission line (also called
a generator tie-line, or ‘‘gen-tie’’) and an
associated access road. A ROW
application was also filed by the
Western Area Power Administration
(Western) to lease approximately 4 acres
of BLM-administered land needed for a
new substation that would be owned
and operated by Western in support of
the RSEP.
Under these ROW grants RSEP would
be allowed the right to use, occupy and
develop a 161/230kV gen-tie line and
associated access road, which would
exit the Rice Solar Energy Project, and
travel southeast in an undeveloped area
of the Sonoran Desert in eastern
Riverside County, California where it
would then interconnect to Western’s
Parker-Blythe #2 161–kV transmission
line at the substation proposed by
Western. The gen-tie line and access
road as proposed would traverse 8.27
mile in a 150 foot width right-of-way
corridor occupying 150 acres of land
administered by the BLM.
The substation as proposed by
Western would be 300 feet wide by 400
feet long, causing approximately 4 acres
of permanent disturbance on BLM
lands. Associated infrastructure in the
ROW grant would occupy
approximately 154 acres of public land
administered by the BLM. This project
site is in the California Desert District
within the planning boundary of the
California Desert Conservation (CDCA)
Plan, which is the applicable Resource
Management Plan (RMP) for the project
site and surrounding areas. The CDCA
Plan, while recognizing the potential
PO 00000
Frm 00059
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
78021
compatibility of solar generation and
transmission on public lands requires
that all sites associated with power
generation or transmission not already
identified in the Plan be considered
through the BLM’s land use plan
amendment process. As a result, prior to
approval of the ROW grant to the RSEP,
the BLM must amend the CDCA Plan to
allow the substation as proposed by
Western and a transmission corridor
leading from the site onto BLM land.
The approved Amendment to the CDCA
Plan specifically revises the CDCA Plan
to allow for the development of the
RSEP gen-tie line and ancillary facilities
on land managed by the BLM.
The BLM preferred alternative would
result in the construction of a gen-tie
line, access road and substation to
support the Rice Solar Energy Project,
capable of producing 150MW of
electricity. This alternative was
evaluated in the Final Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS). The Notice of
Availability of the Final EIS for the
RSEP and the proposed CDCA Plan
amendment was published in the
Federal Register on June 10, 2011 (76
FR 34073). Subsequently, a 30-day
protest period for the proposed
amendment to the CDCA Plan was
initiated (76 FR 47608, Aug. 5, 2011). At
the close of the 30-day period on
September 6, 2011, one written protest
was received and dismissed, and did
not result in changing the decision. This
protest dismissal is summarized in the
Director’s Protest Resolution Report
attached to the ROD. Along with the
protest period, the Governor of
California conducted a 60-day
consistency review of the proposed
CDCA Plan amendment to identify any
inconsistencies with State or local plan,
policies or programs; no inconsistencies
were identified.
Because this decision is approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, it is not
subject to administrative appeal (43 CFR
4.410(a)(3)).
Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6.

Management.
