2809.15(b)(ii), as well as NEPA
conformance, the presumptive
leaseholder will become the
leaseholder. The leaseholder must then
submit a final Plan of Development in
accordance with 43 CFR 2809.18(c).
The successful bidder will not
become the presumptive leaseholder if
they do not satisfy the requirements in
43 CFR 2809.15, do not execute the
lease, or is for any reason disqualified
from holding the lease. In the case when
the successful bidder does not satisfy
the requirements to become a
presumptive leaseholder, the BLM may
make the next highest bidder the
successful bidder or re-offer the lands.
The BLM will keep all money that has
been submitted with the competitive
process if the successful bidder does not
satisfy the requirements of 43 CFR
2809.15(d).
The successful bidder must submit
payment of the minimum bid and at
least 20 percent of the winning bonus
bid to the BLM Las Cruces District
Office no later than noon on November
15, 2024. Within 15 calendar days after
the auction, the successful bidder must:
(1) pay the balance of the bonus bid
(after the variable offsets are applied);
and (2) submit the acreage rent for the
first full year of the solar energy
development lease. This amount will be
applied toward the first 12 months
acreage rent if the successful bidder
becomes the leaseholder.
Any required payments must be
submitted by personal check, cashier’s
check, certified check, bank draft (wire
transfer or Automated Clearing House),
or money order, or by other means
deemed acceptable by the BLM, payable
to the Department of the Interior—
Bureau of Land Management. The
administrative fee portion of the
minimum bid will be retained by the
agency to recover administrative costs
for conducting the competitive bidding
and related processes. The remainder of
the minimum bid and bonus bid will be
deposited with the U.S. Treasury. There
will be no returned or refunded money
to the successful bidder(s).
Only interests in issued right-of-way
(ROW) leases are assignable under the
regulations at 43 CFR 2807.21. The
interest acquired by the successful
bidder from this auction may not be
assigned or sold to another party prior
to the issuance of a ROW lease. The
successful bidder may, however,
continue to pursue their application if
the successful bidder becomes a wholly
owned subsidiary of a new third party.
Section 50265(b)(1) of the Inflation
Reduction Act (codified at 43 U.S.C.

ROWs on: (1) the BLM having held an
onshore oil and gas lease sale during the
120-day period before the issuance of
the wind or solar energy development;
and (2) the BLM having offered—in the
1-year period preceding the date of the
issuance of the lease—the lesser of two
million acres or 50 percent of acreage
for which expressions of interest had
been submitted in that year. The BLM
will ensure compliance with these
provisions prior to issuing the solar
development ROW lease to the
successful bidder, if any.
