requirements as codified at 33 U.S.C. 

467 and as required per Departmental 

Manual 245 and 753 and NPS 

Management Policies 2006. The DO will 

help ensure that all necessary actions 

are taken to identify NPS owned and 

non-NPS owned dams which impact 

parks, and inspect, operate, maintain, 

and reduce risk for NPS owned dams. 

DATES: Written comments will be 

accepted until August 28, 2009.

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Supplemental Environmental Impact

Nevada Transmission Line, Nevada 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1976 (NEPA), as amended, and the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976 FLPMA, as amended, the 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Ely 

and Southern Nevada District Offices 

intend to prepare a Supplemental 

Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) 

for a proposed 500 kilovolt (kv) 

transmission line and associated facility 

from Ely, Nevada, to the Harry Allen 

substation just north of Las Vegas, 

Nevada and by this notice are 

announcing the beginning of the 

scoping process to solicit public 

comments and identify issues. 

DATES: This notice initiates the public 

scoping process for the SEIS. Comments 

on issues may be submitted in writing 

until August 28, 2009. The date(s) and 

location(s) of any scoping meetings will 

be announced at least 15 days in 

advance through local news media, 

newspapers and the BLM Web site at: 

http://www.blm.gov/nv/st/en/fo/ 

ely_field_office.html. In order to be 

included in the draft SEIS, all comments 

must be received prior to the close of 

the scoping period or 15 days after the 

last public meeting, whichever is later. 

We will provide additional 

opportunities for public participation 

upon publication of the draft SEIS. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

related to the Proposed One Nevada 

Transmission Line by any of the 

following methods: 

• Web Site: http://www.blm.gov/nv/ 

st/en/fo/ely_field_office.html; 

• E-mail: eyfoweb@nv.blm.gov; 

• Fax: 775–289–1910; 

• Mail: BLM, Ely District Office, 702 

North Industrial Way, Ely, NV 89301; or 

• Mail: Southern Nevada District 

Office, 4701 North Torrey Pines Drive, 

Las Vegas, NV 89130. 

Documents pertinent to this proposal 

may be examined at the Ely and 

Southern Nevada District Offices. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For 

further information and/or to have your 

name added to our mailing list, send 

requests to: ATTN: One Nevada 

Transmission Line; contact Michael 

Dwyer, telephone (702) 821–7102;

Industrial Way, Ely, NV 89301; e-mail

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 5, 

2006 the applicant, Sierra Pacific Power 

Company (SPPC), requested 

authorization for the Ely Energy Center 

(EEC), a proposed 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 on mostly 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. Five public scoping 

meetings were held between February 5 

and 9, 2007 in Las Vegas, Alamo, Ely, 

Elko, and Reno, Nevada. In January 

2009, the BLM published a Notice of 

Availability of a draft EIS initiating a 90- 

day public comment period on the draft 

EIS. In February 2009, during the public 

comment period, NV Energy (formerly 

SPPC) made public its intention to 

postpone indefinitely the power 

generation facilities associated with the 

EEC from its proposal. On March 30, 

2009, the BLM received an amended 

application and Plan of Development 

from NV Energy for one approximately 

236-mile 500 kV transmission line, one 

new substation, an expansion of one 

substation, one fiber optic line, and 

related appurtenances that were part of 

the EEC proposal. The project was given 

a new name by the proponent: The One 

Nevada 500 kV Transmission Line 

Project (ON Line Project). 

The BLM will develop a SEIS for the 

project because of substantial changes to 

the proposed action that are relevant to 

environmental concerns. See 40 CFR 

1502.9(c). Removal of the coal-fired 

power generation facilities from the 

application makes an assessment of 

their impacts in the draft EIS no longer 

applicable. 

The purpose of the public scoping 

process is to determine relevant issues 

that will influence the scope of the 

environmental analysis, including 

alternatives, and guide the process for 

developing the EIS. This scoping 

process will direct the preparation of a 

SEIS for a proposed 500 kv transmission 

line and associated facilities from Ely, 

Nevada, to the Harry Allen substation 

just north of Las Vegas, Nevada. The 

SEIS will supplement the Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for the Ely Energy Center. A power
