Rights-of-Way, Leasing, and Operations for Renewable Energy
This final rule updates procedures governing the BLM's renewable energy and right-of-way programs, focusing on two main topics. The first topic is solar and wind energy generation rents and fees, implementing new authority from the Energy Act of 2020 to "reduce acreage rental rates and capacity fees, or both, for existing and new wind and solar authorizations" and making certain findings required by the statute. The second topic is expanding agency discretion to process applications for solar and wind energy generation rights-of-way inside designated leasing areas (DLAs). In addition to these two main topics, this final rule makes technical changes, corrections, and clarifications to the regulations. This final rule will update the BLM's procedures governing the BLM's administration of rights-of-way issued under Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA), including for solar and wind energy applications and development authorizations.

We, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, have received an application from Indiana Crossroads Wind Farm II LLC (applicant), for an incidental take permit (ITP) under the Endangered Species Act, for its Sweet Acres Wind Project (project). If approved, the ITP would be for a 6-year period and would authorize the incidental take of the federally endangered Indiana bat, the federally endangered northern long-eared bat, and the tricolored bat and little brown bat, both of which are proposed for listing. The applicant has prepared a habitat conservation plan in support of the application. We request public comment on the application, which includes the applicant's proposed habitat conservation plan (HCP), and on the Service's preliminary determination that the proposed permitting action may be eligible for a categorical exclusion pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality's National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) regulations, the Department of the Interior's (DOI) NEPA regulations, and the DOI Departmental Manual. To make this preliminary determination, we prepared a draft environmental action statement and low-effect screening form, both of which are also available for public review. We invite comment from the public and local, State, Tribal, and Federal agencies.

Pacific Wind Lease Sale 2 for Commercial Leasing for Wind Power Development on the Oregon Outer Continental Shelf-Proposed Sale Notice
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) proposes to hold Pacific Lease Sale 2 and offer one or more lease areas (Lease Areas) for commercial wind power development on the U.S. Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The Lease Areas are located in the Brookings and Coos Bay wind energy areas (WEAs) offshore the State of Oregon. This proposed sale notice (PSN) contains information pertaining to the areas available for leasing, certain lease provisions and conditions, auction details, criteria for evaluating competing bids, and procedures for lease award, appeals, and lease execution. BOEM proposes a multiple factor bidding format using a simultaneous clock auction and will use new auction software for the lease sale, resulting in changes to its previous auction rules. Any lease resulting from this sale does not constitute approval for any offshore wind energy facilities. Lessees must first submit project-specific plans to BOEM and obtain BOEM's approval before they may start any construction of an OCS wind energy facility. BOEM will make such plans available for environmental, technical, and public reviews before deciding whether the proposed development should be authorized.

The issuance of any lease resulting from a sale would not constitute approval of project-specific plans to develop floating offshore wind energy.

BOEM is proposing an ascending clock auction with multiple-factor bidding.
