[Docket ID BOEM–2011–0087] 

Notice of Industry Workshop on 

Technical and Regulatory Challenges 

in Deep and Ultra-Deep Outer 

Continental Shelf Waters 

AGENCY: Bureau of Safety and 

Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), 

Interior. 

ACTION: Announcement of Industry 

Workshop. 

SUMMARY: BSEE is announcing the 

Effects of Water Depth Workshop. This 

workshop with industry will offer a 

blend of technical presentations and 

interactive peer review discussions 

expected to help identify Outer 

Continental Shelf (OCS) challenges and 

technologies associated with oil and gas 

exploration and production at various 

water depths. This workshop will also 

identify approaches to address the water 

depth issue through regulations, 

standards, and practices designed to 

safeguard personnel, operations, and the 

environment. 

DATES: The workshop will be held on 

November 2 and 3, 2011, between 8 a.m. 

and 5 p.m. Early sign-in begins 

November 1, 2011, at 5:30 p.m. 

ADDRESSES: The workshop will be held 

at the San Luis Hotel, 5222 Seawall 

Blvd., Galveston, Texas 77551. Lodging 

at the San Luis Hotel is available for 

Workshop participants. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Michael Else, Technology Assessment 

and Research Program, (703) 787–1769 

or by e-mail: Michael.else@bsee.gov or 

Mr. Joseph Braun at (630) 252–5574 or 

by e-mail: joebraun@anl.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

primary intent of this workshop is to 

support BSEE’s goal of ensuring safe 

and environmentally sound offshore oil 

and gas exploration and production in 

deep and ultra-deep OCS waters. 

Through this workshop, BSEE will 

obtain feedback and analysis from 

stakeholders related to drilling, 

production technologies, operations, 

spill prevention, emergency response, 

and cleanup. In addition, the two-day 

workshop will offer a structured venue 

for consultation among offshore 

deepwater oil and gas industry and 

regulatory experts in order to: 

(a) Identify the effects of water depth 

and related issues on equipment and 

operations; and 

(b) Identify approaches to address the 

water depth issue through regulations, 

standards, and practices designed to 

safeguard personnel, operations and the 

environment. 

This workshop will assist in 

improving existing regulations and 

develop new regulations under the 

authority of the BSEE, which assumed 

regulatory responsibility for safety and 

environmental protection over OCS oil 

and gas operations effective October 1, 

2011. The workshop will also provide 

an opportunity to identify approaches 

industry can use to address water depth 

issues, such as the development of new 

standards or improvements in existing 

standards. Domestic energy reserves are 

vitally important to the Nation’s 

economic strength. BSEE is committed 

to helping ensure environmental 

protection and human safeguards during 

exploration and development of these 

energy reserves. This workshop is a 

critical step in clearing a path forward 

for responsible deep water 

development. 

Registration: Registration fees will be 

approximately $425.00 per person to 

cover food, refreshments, and 

administrative costs. Attendance at this 

workshop is by invitation only. To 

apply, please visit BSEE’s workshop 

webpage at http://www.boemre.gov/ 

tarworkshops/EWD/Apply.htm. You 

will be redirected to the U.S. 

Department of Energy, Argonne 

National Lab’s webpage to complete 

your application electronically and will 

be contacted by Argonne National Lab 

staff, who have been contracted to 

provide workshop registration services.

Notice of Intent To Prepare a 

Supplemental Draft Environmental 

Impact Statement for the K Road 

Calico Solar Project, San Bernardino 

County, CA 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of Intent. 

SUMMARY: In compliance with the 

National Environmental Policy Act of 

1969 (NEPA), as amended, and the 

Federal Land Policy and Management 

Act of 1976 (FLPMA), as amended, the 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM), 

California Desert District, intends to 

prepare a Supplemental Draft 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 

for an amendment to the right-of-way 

(ROW) grant for the K Road Calico Solar 

Project (Project) in San Bernardino 

County, California. 

DATES: The BLM will provide a 45-day 

public comment period upon 

publication of the Supplemental Draft 

EIS.

Coordinator, telephone (760) 252–6000. 

Please contact Ms. Patrovsky if you’d

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: K Road is 

seeking approval to construct and 

operate an electrical generating facility 

with a nominal capacity of 

approximately 664 megawatts (MW). 

The project would use photovoltaic (PV) 

panels and may include some solar 

thermal power. Approximately 4,604 

acres of BLM-administered public land 

and 9 acres of privately owned land are 

needed to develop the Project. K Road 

has submitted an application to the 

BLM requesting to amend their ROW 

grant to change portions of the approved 

facility from 100 percent SunCatcher 

technology to PV technology and 

potentially some SunCatcher 

technology. 

On October 20, 2010, the BLM 

approved the Calico Solar ROW grant, 

which would develop a solar thermal 

energy generating facility in a project 

area north of Interstate 40 between 

Newberry Springs and Hector, 

California approximately 37 miles east 

of Barstow, California. The grant holder, 

K Road Calico Solar, LLC has applied to 

the BLM for a ROW grant amendment 

on public lands to construct the solar 

facility in two phases including a 

change in technology: Phase 1 (275 MW 

and 1,863 acres) will consist of PV 

panels, an access road, a central services 

complex, an on-site substation, and a 

underground water utility line. Phase 2 

(2,750 acres, 389 MW) will consist of PV 

panels and may include some 

SunCatcher technology. 

Construction would begin in early 

2013. Although construction would take 

approximately 48 months to complete, 

renewable energy power would be 

available to the grid as each phase is 

completed. The facility would be 

expected to operate for approximately 

20 years. 

A new 230-kV substation would be 

built in the center of the project area 

and would connect to the existing 

Pisgah Substation via an approximately 

two-mile long single-circuit, 230-kV 

transmission line. 

The 2010 Final EIS and Proposed 

Amendment to the California Desert 

Conservation Area Plan for the Calico 

Solar Project considered this type of 

technology but did not analyze it in 

detail. The Supplemental Draft EIS will 

analyze this alternative in detail, 

including any additional site-specific 

impacts resulting from the change in 

technology and additional ancillary 

facilities or relocation of facilities. This 

includes impacts to air quality, 

biological resources, cultural resources, 

water resources, geological resources 

and hazards, hazardous materials 

handling, noise, paleontological 

resources, public health, 

socioeconomics, soils, traffic and 

transportation, visual resources, waste 

management and worker safety and fire 

protection, as well as facility design 

engineering, efficiency, reliability, 

transmission system engineering and 

transmission line safety and nuisance. 

If the ROW amendment is approved 

by the BLM, a multi-technology solar 

power plant facility on public lands 

would be authorized in accordance with 

Title V of FLPMA and the BLM’s ROW 

Regulations at 43 CFR part 2800. A 

certificate designating approval by the 

California Energy Commission must be 

obtained by K Road before it may 

construct the portion of Phase two 

involving ‘‘SunCatcher’’ solar facilities. 

Authority: 40 CFR 1502.9(c) and 43 CFR 

1610.2.

Deputy State Director.
