other information relevant to the
Proposed Action.
The BLM also requests assistance
with identifying potential alternatives to
the Proposed Action. As alternatives
should resolve an issue with the
Proposed Action, please indicate the
purpose of the suggested alternative. In
addition, the BLM requests the
identification of potential issues that
should be analyzed. Issues should be a
result of the Proposed Action or
Alternatives; therefore, please identify
the activity along with the potential
issues.
Lead and Cooperating Agencies
The BLM Pahrump Field Office is the
lead agency for this EIS and RMP
amendment. The BLM has initially
invited 27 Agencies and 15 Indian
Tribal Nations to be cooperating
agencies to participate in the
environmental analysis of the Project.
Of those invited, 11 agencies have
accepted cooperating agency status: U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service Ecological
Services Program, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Migratory Bird Program; U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
Region 9; Clark County Department of
Aviation; Clark County Department of
Environment and Sustainability; Nye
County; Nevada Department of Wildlife;
Nevada Division of Forestry; Nevada
Department of Conservation and Natural
Resources, Off-Highway Vehicles
Program; Nevada Division of Emergency
Management; and Nevada Department
of Public Safety. Additional agencies
and organizations may be identified as
potential cooperating agencies to
participate in the environmental
analysis of the Project.

Responsible Official
The Nevada State Director is the
deciding official for this planning effort
and proposed Copper Rays Solar
Project.
Nature of Decision To Be Made
The nature of the decision to be made
will be the State Director’s selection of
land use planning decisions for
managing BLM-administered lands
under the principles of multiple use and
sustained yield in a manner that best
addresses the purpose and need.
The BLM will decide whether to
grant, grant with conditions, or deny the
right of way application. Pursuant to 43
CFR 2805.10, if the BLM issues right-ofway grant(s), the BLM decision maker
may include terms, conditions, and
stipulations determined to be in the
public interest.

Interdisciplinary Team
The BLM will use an interdisciplinary
approach to develop the EIS/RMP
amendment in order to consider the
variety of resource issues and concerns
identified. Specialists with expertise in
the following disciplines will be
involved in this process: air quality,
archaeology, botany, climate change
(greenhouse gases), environmental
justice, fire and fuels, geology/mineral
resources, hazardous materials,
hydrology, invasive/non-native species,
lands and realty, National Conservation
Lands, National Trails, public health
and safety, recreation/transportation,
socioeconomics, soils, visual resources,
and wildlife.
Additional Information
The BLM will identify, analyze, and
consider mitigation to address the
reasonably foreseeable impacts to
resources from the proposed plan
amendment and all analyzed reasonable
alternatives and, in accordance with 40
CFR 1502.14(e), include appropriate
mitigation measures not already
included in the proposed plan
amendment or alternatives. Mitigation
may include avoidance, minimization,
rectification, reduction or elimination
over time, and compensation; and may
be considered at multiple scales,
including the landscape scale.
The BLM will utilize and coordinate
the NEPA and land use planning
processes for this planning effort to help
support compliance with applicable
procedural requirements under the
Endangered Species Act (16 U.S.C.
1536) and Section 106 of the National
Historic Preservation Act (54 U.S.C.
306108) as provided in 36 CFR
800.2(d)(3), including public
involvement requirements of Section
106. The information about historic and
cultural resources and threatened and
endangered species within the area
potentially affected by the proposed
plan amendment will assist the BLM in
identifying and evaluating impacts to
such resources.
The BLM will consult with Tribal
Nations on a government-to-government
basis in accordance with Executive
Order 13175, BLM MS 1780, and other
policies. Tribal concerns, including
impacts on Indian trust assets and
potential impacts to cultural resources,
will be given due consideration.
Federal, State, and local agencies, along
with Tribal Nations, and other
stakeholders that may be interested in or
affected by the proposed action that the
BLM is evaluating, are invited to
participate in the scoping process and,
if eligible, may request or be requested

by the BLM to participate in the
development of the environmental
analysis as a cooperating agency. The
BLM intends to hold a series of
government-to-government consultation
meetings. The BLM will send invites to
potentially affected Tribal Nations prior
to the meetings. The BLM will provide
additional opportunities for
government-to-government consultation
during the NEPA process.

(1) Whether the collection of
information is necessary for the proper
performance of the functions of the
agency, including whether the
information will have practical utility.
(2) The accuracy of our estimate of the
burden for this collection of
information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used.
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected; and
(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.

Abstract: The BLM is required to
manage commercial, competitive and
organized group recreational uses of the
public lands, and individual use of
special areas. The BLM must assess,
evaluate and authorize (permit)
activities proposed to be conducted on
public land. The estimated annual
burden is estimated to increase by 308
hours (from 5,292 to 5,600). This
increase in burden hours results from
increasing the number of estimated
annual responses from 1,323 to 1,400.
The increase in the number of responses
is a result of increase demand for
recreation permits. This OMB Control
Number is currently scheduled to expire
on April 30, 2023. The BLM request that
OMB renew this OMB Control Number
for an additional three years.
Title of Collection: Permits for
Recreation on Public Lands (43 CFR part
2930).
OMB Control Number: 1004–0119.
Form Numbers: 2930–001—Special
Recreation Application.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Respondents/Affected Public:
Applicants for recreational use of public
lands managed by the BLM.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Respondents: 1,400.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Responses: 1,400.
Estimated Completion Time per
Response: 4 hours.
Total Estimated Number of Annual
Burden Hours: 5,600.
Respondent’s Obligation: Required to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Frequency of Collection: On occasion.
Total Estimated Annual Nonhour
Burden Cost: None.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor and, notwithstanding any other
provision of law, a person is not
required to respond to a collection of
information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB Control Number.
The authority for this action is the
PRA of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Notice of Intent To Prepare North
Cascades Ecosystem Grizzly Bear
Restoration Plan/Environmental Impact
Statement, Washington
National Park Service and
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCIES:
The National Park Service
(NPS) and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (FWS) are jointly preparing an
environmental impact statement (EIS)
for the North Cascades Ecosystem
Grizzly Bear Restoration Plan to
determine how to restore the grizzly
bear to the North Cascades ecosystem
(NCE), a portion of its historical range.
As part of the planning and EIS process,
the NPS and the FWS will evaluate
various approaches for the restoration of
a grizzly bear population to the NCE.
Action is needed to restore grizzly bears
to the NCE because they are functionally
extirpated from the ecosystem, and
restoration there will contribute to
overall grizzly bear recovery.
DATES: All comments must be received
or postmarked by December 14, 2022.
ADDRESSES: Comment submission: To
submit comments for consideration in
development of the EIS, you may use
any one of the following methods:
• Agency website: https://
parkplanning.nps.gov/NCEGrizzly.

Superintendent, 810 State Route 20,
Sedro-Woolley, WA 98284; or

Document availability: Information
regarding the public scoping process for
the EIS and virtual public meetings is
