Notice of Availability of Record of 

Decision for the NextLight Renewable 

Power, LLC, Silver State Solar Project 

Environmental Impact Statement 

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 NextLight Renewable 

Power, LLC, Silver State Solar Project 

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). 

The Department of the Interior Secretary 

signed the ROD on October 12, 2010, 

which constitutes the final decision of 

the Department. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the ROD are 

available upon request from the BLM 

Southern Nevada District Office, 4701 

N. Torrey Pines Drive, Las Vegas, 

Nevada 89130, or at the following Web 

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

applicant, Nextlight Renewable Power, 

LLC, requested a right-of-way (ROW) 

authorization to construct, operate, 

maintain and decommission a 400- 

megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) 

power plant and facilities. The Notice of 

Availability (NOA) for the Draft EIS 

analyzing impacts of the project and 

alternatives was released for public 

comment on April 16, 2010 (75 FR 

19990). Four hundred eighty one 

comments were received on the Draft 

EIS. The comments were incorporated, 

where appropriate, to clarify the 

analysis presented in the Final EIS. The 

Environmental Protection Agency 

published the NOA for the Final EIS in 

the Federal Register on Friday, 

September 10, 2010 (75 FR 55326). The 

Final EIS analyzes 3 alternatives: A No 

Action Alternative, the Proposed 

Action, and a Modified Site Layout 

Alternative. These alternatives were 

shaped in part by comments received 

from the public and internal BLM 

review. 

Alternative 1—No Action Alternative. 

Under this alternative, the BLM would 

deny a ROW for construction, operation, 

maintenance, and decommission of a 

400–MW solar photovoltaic power plant 

on public lands administered by the 

BLM. 

Alternative 2—Proposed Action. The 

Proposed Action Alternative is the 

construction, operation, maintenance 

and decommission of a solar facility 

utilizing passive PV technology. The 

project facilities would be constructed 

in 3 separate phases totaling 400–MW 

with a total surface disturbance of 2,967 

acres. Phase 1 consists of a 60–MW 

direct current (50–MW alternating 

current) facility and is independent of 

the facilities identified in Phase 2 and 

Phase 3, which are inter-dependant 

facilities. Each facility component 

would be constructed as power 

purchase agreements and transmission 

infrastructure is in place and available 

to bring generated power to the market. 

Drainage controls would consist of a 

series of earthen drainage control berms 

that would contain surface runoff flows 

to existing primary drainages (storm 

water flow corridors) across the site. 

Alternative 3—Modified Site Layout 

Alternative. The Modified Site Layout 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 201 / Tuesday, October 19, 2010 / Notices 64351 

Alternative is similar to the Proposed 

Action in development sequence and 

facilities, but contains additional 

drainage control structures to manage 

storm water run-off. Total surface 

disturbance for this alternative is 2,748 

acres. 

The ROD approves only the Phase 1 

portion of Alternative 2, the Proposed 

Action. Phase 2 and Phase 3 of the 

Proposed Action are not authorized in 

the ROD and may be considered in the 

future when the necessary electric 

transmission upgrades are proposed. At 

that time, the BLM will prepare any 

necessary additional environmental 

review. 

Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6 and 1506.10.

Background: The Commission 

instituted this investigation under 

Section 332(g) of the Tariff Act of 1930 

(19 U.S.C. 1332(g)) following receipt of 

an initial request from the USTR dated 

May 15, 1992. The request asked that 

the Commission assess the quantitative 

economic effects of significant U.S. 

import restraints on the U.S. economy 

and prepare periodic update reports 

after the initial report. The Commission 

published a notice of institution of the 

investigation in the Federal Register of 

June 17, 1992 (57 FR 27063). The first 

report was delivered to the USTR in 

November 1993, the first update in 

December 1995, and successive updates 

were delivered in 1999, 2002, 2004, 

2007, and 2009. In this seventh update, 

as requested by the USTR in a letter 

dated August 16, 2010, the Commission 

will, in addition to the quantitative 

effects analysis similar to that included 

in prior reports, include an overview of 

global supply chains, including the 

economic forces behind them and 

current U.S. involvement in them. The 

USTR asked that the overview be 

accessible to readers who may not be 

professional economists. As in previous 

reports in this series, the seventh update 

will continue to assess the economic 

effects of significant import restraints on 

U.S. consumers and firms, the income 

and employment of U.S. workers, and 

the net economic welfare of the United 

States. This assessment will use the 

Commission’s computable general 

equilibrium model. However, as per 

earlier instructions from the USTR, the 

Commission will not assess import 

restraints resulting from antidumping or 

countervailing duty investigations, 

section 337 and 406 investigations, or 

section 301 actions. 

Public Hearing: A public hearing in 

connection with this investigation will 

be held at the United States 

International Trade Commission 

Building, 500 E Street SW., Washington, 

DC, beginning at 9:30 a.m. on December 

16, 2010. Requests to appear at the 

hearing should be filed with the 

Secretary no later than 5:15 p.m., 

November 29, 2010, in accordance with 

the requirements in the ‘‘Submissions’’ 

section below. All pre-hearing briefs 

and statements should be filed not later 

than 5:15 p.m., November 29, 2010; and 

all post-hearing briefs and statements 

should be filed not later than 5:15 p.m., 

January 6, 2011. In the event that, as of 

the close of business on November 29, 

2010, no witnesses are scheduled to 

appear at the hearing, the hearing will 

be canceled. Any person interested in 

attending the hearing as an observer or 

nonparticipant may call the Secretary to 

the Commission (202–205–2000) after 

November 29, 2010, for information 

concerning whether the hearing will be 

held. 

Written Submissions: In lieu of or in 

addition to participating at the hearing, 

interested parties are invited to file 

written submissions concerning this 

investigation. All written submissions 

(other than pre- and post-hearing briefs 

and statements) should be addressed to 

the Secretary, and should be received 

not later than 5:15 p.m., February 7, 

2011. All written submissions must 

conform with the provisions of section 

201.8 of the Commission’s Rules of 

Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 201.8). 

Section 201.8 requires that a signed

fourteen (14) copies of each document 

be filed. In the event that confidential 

treatment of a document is requested, at 

least four (4) additional copies must be
