DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR 

Bureau of Indian Affairs 

[212A2100DD AAK6006201 

AOR3030.999900] 

Final Environmental Impact Statement 

for the Proposed Southern Bighorn 

Solar Projects, Clark County, Nevada 

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: This notice advises the public 

that the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), 

as the lead Federal agency, with the 

Bureau of Land Management (BLM), the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 

(USFWS), and the Moapa Band of Paiute 

Indians (Moapa Band) as cooperating 

agencies, intends to file a final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

with the EPA for the proposed Southern 

Bighorn Solar Projects (SBSPs or 

Project). The FEIS evaluates 

photovoltaic (PV) solar energy 

generation and storage projects on the 

Moapa River Indian Reservation 

(Reservation) and collector lines along 

with the use of existing access roads and 

an existing generation interconnection 

(gen-tie) line located on the Reservation, 

Reservation lands managed by BLM, 

and BLM lands. This notice also 

announces that the FEIS is now 

available for public review. 

DATES: To be fully considered, written 

comments on the FEIS must arrive no 

later than 30 days after EPA publishes 

its Notice of Availability in the Federal 

Register. 

ADDRESSES: The FEIS is available at the 

following website: 

www.southernbighornsolar.com/. You 

may mail, email, hand carry or telefax 

written comments to Mr. Chip Lewis, 

Regional Environmental Protection 

Officer, BIA Western Regional Office, 

Branch of Environmental Quality 

Services, 2600 North Central Avenue, 

4th Floor, Mail Room, Phoenix, Arizona 

85004–3008; fax (602) 379–3833; email: 

chip.lewis@bia.gov. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. 

Chip Lewis, BIA Western Regional 

Office, Branch of Environmental Quality 

Services at (602) 379–6750 or Mr. Garry 

Cantley at (602) 379–6750. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

proposed Federal action, taken under 25 

U.S.C. 415, is the BIA’s approval of two 

solar energy ground leases and 

associated agreements entered into by 

the Moapa Band with 300MS 8me LLC 

and 425LM 8me LLC (Applicants). The 

agreements provide for construction, 

operation and maintenance (O&M), and 

eventual decommissioning of the PV 

electricity generation and battery storage 

facilities located entirely on the 

Reservation and specifically on lands 

held in trust for the Moapa Band, in 

Clark County Nevada. 

The PV electricity generation and 

battery storage facilities would be 

located on up to 3,600 acres of tribal 

trust land (2,600 acres for SBSP I and 

1,000 acres for SBSP II) and would have 

a combined capacity of up to 400 

megawatts alternating current (MWac)— 

300 MWac for SBSP I, and 100 MWac 

for SBSP II. The two solar Projects 

include the solar fields, access roads, 

collector lines, and connection with an 

existing transmission gen-tie line. 

Construction of the 300MWac project 

is expected to take approximately 14–16 

months, and construction of the up to 

100MWac project is expected to take 

approximately 8–10 months. The two 

projects may be constructed 

simultaneously or sequentially. The 

electricity generation and storage 

facilities are expected to be operated for 

up to 50 years under the terms of the 

leases, with time for construction and 

decommissioning. Major onsite facilities 

include multiple blocks of solar PV 

panels mounted on fixed tilt or tracking 

systems, pad mounted inverters and 

transformers, collector lines, up to 1,000 

MW-hours of battery storage, access 

roads, and O&M facilities. Water will be 

needed during construction for dust 

control; a minimal amount will be 

needed during operations for 

administrative and sanitary use and for 

panel washing. The water supply 

required for the Projects would be 

leased from the Moapa Band. Access to 

the SBSPs will be provided via North 

Las Vegas Boulevard from the I–15/US 

93 interchange. 

The purposes of the proposed Project 

are, among other things, to: (1) Provide 

a long-term, diverse, and viable 

economic revenue base and job 

opportunities for the Moapa Band; (2) 

assist Nevada to meet their State 

renewable energy needs; and (3) allow 

the Moapa Band, in partnership with 

the Applicant, to optimize the use of the 

lease site while maximizing the

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 105 / Thursday, June 3, 2021 / Notices 29805 

potential economic benefit to the Moapa 

Band. 

The BIA and BLM will use the EIS to 

make decisions on the land lease and 

right-of-way applications under their 

respective jurisdiction; the EPA may use 

the document to make decisions under 

its authorities; the Band may use the 

FEIS to make decisions under its 

Environmental Policy Ordinance; and 

the USFWS may use the FEIS to support 

its decision under the Endangered 

Species Act.

complaint filed by Wilson Electronics 

LLC of St. George, Utah (‘‘Wilson’’). 86 

FR 11555–56 (February 25, 2021). The 

complaint, as supplemented, alleged 

violations of section 337 of the Tariff 

Act of 1930, as amended, 19 U.S.C. 

1337, in the importation into the United 

States, the sale for importation, and the 

sale within the United States after 

importation of certain cellular signal 

boosters, repeaters, bi-directional 

amplifiers, and components thereof by 

reason of infringement of certain claims 

of U.S. Patent Nos. 7,221,967; 7,409,186; 

7,486,929; 7,729,669; 7,783,318; 

8,583,033; 8,583,034 (‘‘the ’034 patent); 

8,639,180 (‘‘the ’180 patent); 8,755,399; 

8,849,187; 8,874,029 (‘‘the ’029 patent); 

and 8,874,030 (‘‘the ’030 patent). Id. The 

Commission’s notice of investigation 

named as respondents Cellphone-Mate, 

Inc. d/b/a SureCall of Fremont, 

California, and Shenzhen SureCall 

Communication Technology Co., Ltd. of 

Shenzhen, China (together, ‘‘SureCall’’). 

Id. at 11556. The Commission 

determined to sever the investigation 

into three separate investigations based 

on the complaint to further efficient 

adjudication. The present investigation 

was instituted to determine whether 

there is a violation of Section 337 with 

respect to claims 1–20 of the ’034; 

claims 10–14, and 16–17 of the ’180 

patent; claims 1–10 and 13–15 of the 

’029 patent; and claims 1–24 of the ’030 

patent. The Office of Unfair Import 

Investigations is not participating in this 

investigation. Id. 

On May 12, 2021, Wilson and 

SureCall jointly moved to terminate the 

investigation based on settlement. No 

responses to the motion were received. 

On May 13, 2021, the ALJ issued the 

subject ID, granting the motion and 

terminating the investigation based on 

settlement. The ID finds that the motion 

complies with Commission Rule 

210.21(b) and that ‘‘there is no evidence 

showing that terminating this 

investigation on the basis of settlement 

would adversely affect the public health 

and welfare, competitive conditions in 

the U.S. economy, the production of like 

or directly competitive articles in the 

United States, or U.S. consumers.’’ 

Order No. 8, at 2–3. No petitions for 

review of the ID were filed. 

The Commission has determined not 

to review the subject ID. The 

investigation is hereby terminated in its 

entirety. 

The Commission vote for this 

determination took place on May 27, 

2021. 

The authority for the Commission’s 

determination is contained in section 

337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended (19 U.S.C. 1337), and in part 

210 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR part 

210). 

By order of the Commission.
