Notice of Segregation of Public Lands 

in the State of Arizona for the 

Restoration Design Energy Project— 

Agua Caliente Solar Energy Zone in 

Yuma County, AZ 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) is segregating 

public lands located in the State of 

Arizona from all forms of appropriation 

under the public land laws, including 

the mining law, but excluding the 

mineral leasing or materials sale laws, 

for a period of up to 2 years. This is for 

the purpose of protecting potential sites 

for future solar energy development 

while they are being analyzed in the 

Restoration Design Energy Project 

(RDEP). The public lands contained in 

this segregation total approximately 

20,776 acres in Yuma County. 

DATES: This segregation is effective on 

February 13, 2012. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Lane Cowger, BLM Deputy Project 

Manager; telephone: 602–417–9612; 

address: One North Central Avenue, 

Suite 800, Phoenix, Arizona 85004– 

4427; or email: az_arra_rdep@blm.gov. 

Persons who use a telecommunications 

device for the deaf (TDD) may call the 

Federal Information Relay Service 

(FIRS) at 1–800–877–8339 to contact the 

above individual during normal 

business hours. The FIRS is available 24 

hours a day, 7 days a week, to leave a 

message or question with the above 

individual. You will receive a reply 

during normal business hours. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

segregation of public lands corresponds 

with the analysis of these same public 

lands as a proposed Solar Energy Zone 

(SEZ) in the RDEP. The analysis will 

establish whether some or all of these 

lands are suitable for utility-scale solar 

energy development. Decisions about 

the suitability of the lands as a SEZ will 

be included in the RDEP record of 

decision, which is scheduled to be 

completed in late 2012. More 

information on the RDEP is available on 

the project Web site at: http://

www.blm.gov/az/st/en/prog/energy/

The areas described aggregate 20,776 acres, 

more or less, in Yuma County. 

In order to protect potential sites for 

future solar energy development, the 

BLM is segregating the lands under the 

authority contained in 43 CFR 2091.3– 

1(e) and 43 CFR 2804.25(e) for a period 

of up to 2 years, subject to valid existing 

rights. This segregation period will 

commence on February 13, 2012. The 

public lands involved in this notice will 

be segregated from all forms of 

appropriation under the public land and 

mining laws, but not the Mineral 

Leasing Act of 1920 or the Materials Act 

of 1947. It has been determined that this 

segregation is necessary for the orderly 

administration of the public lands that 

have been identified by the BLM as 

having potential for solar energy 

generation. 

The temporary segregation period will 

terminate and the lands will 

automatically reopen to all forms of 

appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the mining laws, on 

February 13, 2014 unless, prior to the 

end of the 2-year period, the BLM 

publishes a Federal Register notice 

terminating the segregation.

This segregation is necessary to 

process the ROW application filed by 

Pattern Energy Group for the Ocotillo 

Express Wind Project on the above 

described lands while maintaining the 

status quo. The BLM is segregating the 

lands under the authority contained in 

43 CFR 2091.3–1(e) and 2804.25(e) for a 

period of 2 years, subject to valid 

existing rights. This 2-year segregation 

period will commence on February 13, 

2012. The public lands involved in this 

closure will be segregated from 

appropriation under the public land and 

mining laws, but not the mineral leasing 

or material sale laws. It has been 

determined that this segregation is 

necessary for the orderly administration 

of the public lands. 

The segregation period will terminate 

and the lands will automatically reopen 

to appropriation under the public land 

laws, including the mining laws, if one 

of the following events occurs: (1) Upon 

the BLM’s issuance of a decision 

regarding whether to issue a ROW 

authorization for the Ocotillo Express 

Project; (2) upon publication of a 

Federal Register notice of termination 

of the segregation; or (3) without further 

administrative action at the end of the 

segregation provided for in the Federal 

Register notice initiating the 

segregation, whichever occurs first. Any 

segregation made under this authority 

would be effective only for a period of 

up to 2 years. The lands to be segregated 

are identified in the legal description 

above.
