Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 217 / Tuesday, November 10, 2015 / Notices
to military training operations at the
Marana Airport.
The BLM requires mitigation
measures and conservation actions to
achieve land use plan goals and
objectives. The sequence of mitigation
action would be the mitigation
hierarchy (avoid, minimize, rectify,
reduce or eliminate over time, or
compensate) identified by the CEQ (40
CFR 1508.20), BLM’s Draft Regional
Mitigation Manual, section 1794, and as
described in the Final EIS. Certain
alternatives, if selected, may require
compensatory mitigation for those
implementation-level activities that
result in impacts the agencies cannot
adequately avoid, minimize, rectify,
reduce, or eliminate over time (i.e.,
residual impacts).
The BLM, Western, Southline, and
cooperating agencies worked together to
develop routes that would conform to
existing Federal land use plans. No plan
amendments are required for the
Upgrade portion of the proposed Project
in Arizona or the Agency Preferred
Alternative for the New Build Section in
New Mexico, as described in the Final
EIS.
The BLM and Western have utilized
the NEPA comment period to assist the
agencies in satisfying the public
involvement requirements under
Section 106 of the National Historic
Preservation Act (16 U.S.C. 470(f)), as
provided for in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). The
agencies have also consulted with
Indian tribes on a government-togovernment basis in accordance with
Executive Order 13175 and other
policies. Ongoing Native American
tribal consultations will continue to be
conducted in accordance with law and
policy, and tribal concerns, including
impacts on Indian trust assets, will be
given due consideration. The BLM has
also completed, with Western input,
formal consultation under Section 7 of
the Endangered Species Act with the
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
Based on the environmental analysis
in this Final EIS, the BLM will decide
whether to authorize the Proponent
Preferred Action, Agency Preferred
Alternative, alternatives, or any
combination thereof on Public Lands.
The Administrator will decide whether
Western would use its borrowing
authority to partially finance and/or
hold partial ownership in the resulting
transmission facilities and capacity.
Western will consider the
environmental analysis as the Project
Development and Finance Phases are
completed, as outlined in the
Transmission Infrastructure Program

Comments on the Draft EIS received
from the public and internal agency
review were considered, and document
revisions were incorporated as
appropriate into the Final EIS. Public
comments resulted in the addition of
clarifying text, but did not result in
substantial changes to the proposed
Project or the impact analysis between
the Draft and Final EIS.
Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6, 40 CFR
