SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended, the BLM published an NOI to prepare an EIS in the
Federal Register
on December 1, 2023 (88 FR 83959).
The BLM is terminating the EIS for the potential RMP Amendments related to several Section 368 Energy Corridor Revisions. The initial goal was to enable preferred siting and efficient environmental review for linear energy infrastructure. Now, updated processing methods and tools allow these activities to proceed in the changing energy market without requiring an EIS. Accordingly, the BLM is rescinding its NOI to prepare RMP Amendments and is terminating the EIS announced in the
Federal Register
at 88 FR 83959.
