The BLM has sent invitations to potentially affected Tribal Nations and initiated government-to-government consultation meetings and intends to continue coordination throughout the NEPA process. The Project is in conformance with the California Desert Conservation Area Plan as amended and would not require any plan amendments. The IvanpahControl transmission lines are within west-wide energy corridors (established under Section 368 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005), including corridor numbers 23–25, which BLM anticipates reviewing in an upcoming revision. The Project is not in conflict with nor would it require the revision of any existing or proposed west-wide energy corridors. Before including your address, phone number, email address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment—including your personal identifying information—may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. (Authority: 40 CFR 1501.9).
