III. Permit Applications 

A. Endangered Species 

Applicant: International Elephant 

Foundation, Fort Worth, TX; PRT– 

15923A 

On October 25, 2010, we published a 

Federal Register notice inviting the 

public to comment on this application 

for a permit to conduct certain activities 

with endangered species (75 FR 65505). 

The applicant subsequently submitted 

additional information in support of 

their application; therefore, we are 

reopening the comment period. The 

applicant requests a permit to import 

biological specimens of Asian elephant 

(Elephus maximus) from wild animals 

in all range countries and captive-held 

animals in countries worldwide for the 

purpose of scientific research. This 

notification covers activities to be 

conducted by the applicant over a 5- 

year period. 

Applicant: Tanganyika Wildlife Park, 

Goddard, KS; PRT–25482A 

The applicant requests a permit to 

import four live Cheetahs (Acinonyx 

jubatus jubatus), Bred-in-Captivity for 

the purpose of conservation education 

and captive breeding for the 

enhancement of the survival of the 

species. This notification covers 

activities to be conducted by the 

applicant over a 5-year period. 

Multiple Applicants 

The following applicants each request 

a permit to import the sport-hunted 

trophy of one male bontebok 

(Damaliscus pygargus pygargus) culled 

from a captive herd maintained under 

the management program of the 

Republic of South Africa, for the 

purpose of enhancement of the survival 

of the species.

ACTION: Notice of Availability. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969, as amended, and the Federal Land 

Policy and Management Act of 1976, as 

amended, the Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) has prepared a 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for the One Nevada Transmission 

Line (ON Line Project) and by this 

notice is announcing its availability. 

DATES: The BLM will not issue a final 

decision on the proposal for at least 30 

days after the date that the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

publishes its notice of availability in the 

Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: A list of locations where the 

One Nevada Transmission Line (ON 

Line Project) Final EIS can be reviewed 

is in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION

section below. The Final EIS is also 

available online at: http://www.blm.gov/

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The One 

Nevada Transmission Line (ON Line 

Project) Final EIS is available for review 

at the following locations: 

—BLM Ely District Office, 702 North

BLM Office of Public Affairs, Room 

406–LS, 1620 L Street, Washington, 

DC 

On March 30, 2009, the BLM received 

a right-of-way application and Plan of 

Development from NV Energy for a 236- 

mile-long 500 kilovolt (kV) transmission 

line and telecommunication facilities 

running generally from Ely to Las Vegas, 

Nevada; one new substation near Ely; a 

loop-in of an existing 345 kV 

transmission line at the new substation; 

an expansion of one existing substation 

on private land near Battle Mountain, 

Nevada; and appurtenant facilities and 

access roads. The project name is the 

One Nevada Transmission Line Project 

and is referred to as the ‘‘ON Line 

Project.’’ 

The components of the ON Line 

Project had been part of the 2006 Ely 

Energy Center (EEC) proposal for a coal 

fired power-generating facility that 

included rail lines, transmission lines 

with fiber optic cable, new and 

expanded substations, water well-fields 

and pipeline delivery systems, and 

associated facilities to be located mostly 

on public lands in White Pine, Lincoln, 

Nye, Elko, and Clark counties, Nevada. 

On January 26, 2007, the BLM 

published a Notice of Intent to prepare 

an EIS for the EEC and its associated 

facilities and held public scoping 

meetings (see 72 FR 3871). On January 

2, 2009, the BLM published a Notice of 

Availability initiating a 90-day public 

comment period on its Draft EIS (see 74 

FR 115). In February 2009, during the 

public comment period, the proponent 

made public its intention to postpone 

the coal-fired power generation facilities 

associated with the EEC in its proposal 

until carbon capture technology 

becomes commercially feasible. 

On July 29, 2009, the BLM published 

in the Federal Register a Notice of 

Intent to develop an EIS for the ON Line 

project and invited the public to submit 

scoping comments (see 74 FR 37728). 

An Draft EIS was developed for the 

following reasons: the ON Line 

proposed action was part of the EEC 

proposed action assessed in the EEC 

Draft EIS; removing the coal-fired power 

generation facilities from the 

application requires a change in the 

description of the purpose and need for 

the project; and the assessment of 

impacts in association with the power 

generation facilities in the Draft EIS are 

no longer applicable. The ON Line Draft 

EIS incorporated all appurtenant 

sections of the EEC Draft EIS along with 

new information such that it stands on 

its own. Applicable comments collected 

during the public comment period on 

the EEC Draft EIS were carried forward 

into the ON Line EIS process. 

On November 20, 2009, the BLM 

published in the Federal Register a 

Notice of Availability for the Draft EIS 

for the ON Line project and initiated a 

60-day public comment period (see 74 

FR 60290). Public meetings on the Draft 

EIS were conducted in Las Vegas, 

Caliente, and Ely during December 

2009. Nineteen comments were received 

and taken into consideration in the 

preparation of the Final EIS. Public 

comments identified potential conflicts 

with the Robinson Summit substation 

and resulted in an additional alternative 

site for the substation being added to the 

Final EIS. 

The comments also identified the 

need to clarify several sections of the 

document.
