[BLM_NV_FRN; MO# 4500181312] 

Notice of Availability of the Record of 

Decision and Approved Resource 

Management Plan Amendment for the 

Greenlink West Transmission Project 

in Clark, Esmeralda, Lyon, Mineral, 

Nye, Storey, and Washoe Counties, 

Nevada 

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land 

Management (BLM) announces the 

availability of the Record of Decision 

(ROD) for the Approved Resource 

Management Plan (RMP) and associated 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

(EIS) for the Greenlink West 

Transmission Project located in Clark, 

Esmeralda, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Storey, 

and Washoe Counties, Nevada. The 

Acting Deputy Secretary of the Interior 

signed the ROD on September 9, 2024, 

which constitutes the decision of the 

BLM and two other Department of 

Interior agencies (National Park Service, 

Bureau of Indian Affairs) and makes the 

Approved RMP Amendments for the 

BLM effective immediately. The 

Department of Energy/National Nuclear 

Security Administration, as a 

Cooperating Agency, also signed the 

ROD that constitutes the decision for the 

Department of Energy/National Nuclear 

Security Administration on September 

9, 2024. 

DATES: The Acting Deputy Secretary of 

the Interior, representative of the lead 

federal agency (BLM), signed the ROD/ 

Approved RMP Amendment on 

September 9, 2024. 

ADDRESSES: The ROD/Approved RMP 

Amendment is available online at 

https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/ 

project/2017391/510. Printed copies of 

the ROD/Approved RMP Amendment 

are available for public inspection at the 

Nevada State Office, 1340 Financial 

Boulevard, Reno, Nevada or can be 

provided upon request by contacting 

Brian Buttazoni, Project Manager, at: 

775–861–6491. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Brian Buttazoni, Project Manager, 

telephone (775) 861–6491; address 1340 

Financial Boulevard, Reno, Nevada 

89502; email BLM_NV_greenlinkwest@

blm.gov. Individuals in the United 

States who are deaf, blind, hard of 

hearing, or have a speech disability may 

dial 711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to 

access telecommunications relay 

services for contacting Mr. Buttazoni. 

Individuals outside the United States 

should use the relay services offered 

within their country to make 

international calls to the point-ofcontact in the United States. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Acting Deputy Secretary of the Interior 

has approved the RMP Amendments to 

re-classify the visual resources 

management classification of certain 

segments, and to make modifications to 

certain Section 368 corridors, which 

required amending the existing 2001 

Carson City Consolidated RMP, 1997 

Tonopah RMP and ROD, the 1998 ROD 

for the Approved Las Vegas RMP and 

Final EIS, and 2009 Approved RMP 

Amendment(s)/ROD for Designation of 

Energy Corridors on BLM-Administered 

Lands in the 11 Western States. 

The ROD allows the BLM and three 

other federal agencies (National Park 

Service, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), 

and Department of Energy/National 

Nuclear Security Administration) to 

issue their agency-specific 

authorizations for their segments within 

their jurisdiction for the construction, 

operation and maintenance, and 

decommissioning of the 472-mile long 

transmission project and ancillary 

facilities. As reflected in the ROD, the 

BIA is only authorized to grant the 

rights-of-way (ROW) across those Tribal 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
74982 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 178 / Friday, September 13, 2024 / Notices 

lands for which NV Energy has received 

consent. Issuing these authorizations 

meets the agencies’ purpose and need to 

respond to NV Energy’s applications. 

There were no changes to the 

Approved RMP from the Proposed RMP 

for BLM-administered lands, which was 

published on June 14, 2024. The 

Approved RMP allows the BLM to 

modify the visual resource classification 

for certain segments of the project, along 

with modification to the alignment of 

certain Section 368 corridor segments. 

The BLM provided the Proposed RMP 

Amendment for a 30-day public protest 

period beginning on June 14, 2024, and 

at the end of the public protest period 

on July 15, 2024, six valid protests had 

been received. The BLM also received 

seven other comments which were not 

valid protests. The BLM Director 

resolved all protests. A copy of the 

Protest Resolution Report is available at: 

https://www.blm.gov/programs/ 

planning-and-nepa/publicparticipation/protest-resolution-reports. 

No changes were made to the RMP 

Amendment as a result of these protests. 

The BLM provided the Proposed RMP 

Amendment to the Governor of Nevada 

for a 60-day Governor’s consistency 

review. On July 25, 2024, the Governor’s 

Office responded to this request and 

determined that no inconsistencies with 

Nevada state plans were identified. 

Approval of this ROW constitutes the 

final decision of the Department of the 

Interior (DOI) and, in accordance with 

the regulations at 43 CFR 4.410(a)(3), is 

not subject to appeal under DOI 

regulations at 43 CFR part 4.

Acting Deputy Secretary of the Interior.
