Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 106 / Friday, June 4, 2021 / Notices
State land just east of Red Rock, Arizona no Federal ROW is needed.
SunZia states the width of the permanent ROW for the transmission lines typically is a minimum of 400 feet on BLM-administered lands but may be up to 1,000 feet wide in areas with terrain constraints.
Summary of Expected Impacts Impacts from the proposed action would include ground disturbanceassociated impacts to natural and cultural resources; visual impacts;
potential impacts to threatened and endangered species at the Rio Grande River crossing, including the Southwestern Willow Flycatcher, Yellow-Billed Cuckoo, and the Silvery Minnow; and socioeconomic effects from construction, operation, and maintenance. If an alternative reroute is selected, Federal agencies may need to amend land use plans. The disciplines to be represented and used to prepare the EIS include, but are not limited to:
Land use and recreation;
Visual resources;
Wilderness, wilderness study areas, lands with wilderness characteristics, and FS designated roadless areas;
Vegetation/riparian/noxious and invasive weeds/special status plant species, including Threatened and Endangered Species and their habitat;
General and special-status wildlife species, including Threatened and Endangered Species and their habitat;
Earth resources geology, minerals, and soils;
Water resources;
Air quality;
Cultural resources;
Social and economic conditions;
Health and safety/hazardous materials;
Paleontological resources;
Special designations; and Wildland fire ecology and management.
Anticipated Permits and Authorizations If approved, the BLM would issue a ROW Grant and Temporary Use Permit for Federal lands. Any alternative reroute selected that would cross the Cibola National Forest or the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge would require permit approval from the FS and FWS, respectively.
Public Scoping Process The BLM will initiate a 30-day scoping period beginning with the publication of this Notice of Intent NOI. The BLM will hold a series of public scoping meetings to begin approximately 15 days after issuance of the NOI.

The BLM will utilize and coordinate the NEPA scoping process to help fulfill the public involvement process under the National Historic Preservation Act 54 U.S.C. 306108 as provided in 36
CFR 800.2d3. The information about historic and cultural resources within the area potentially affected by the proposed action will assist the BLM in identifying and evaluating impacts to such resources.
The BLM will continue to consult with Native American tribes on a government-to-government basis in accordance with Executive Order 13175
and other policies. Tribal concerns, including impacts on Indian trust assets and potential impacts to cultural resources, will be given due consideration.
Federal, State, and local agencies, along with Tribes and other stakeholders that may be interested in or affected by the proposed Project that the BLM is evaluating are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if eligible, may request, or be requested by the BLM, to participate in the development of the environmental analysis as a cooperating agency.
Authorization of this proposal may require amendments to the Socorro Field Office Resource Management Plan, the Las Cruces District Mimbres Resource Management Plan, the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan, and the Cibola National Forest Land and Resource Management Plan. By this notice, the BLM is complying with requirements 43 CFR 1610.2c to notify the public of potential plan amendments. The BLM will integrate the land use planning process with the NEPA analysis process for this project.
A Forest plan amendment may be required for this project. The 2012
Planning Rule 36 CFR part 219
requires consideration of the applicable substantive requirements as described in 36 CFR 219.8 through 219.11 that are directly related to the plan direction being added, modified, or removed by the amendment 36 CFR 219.13.
Request for Identification of Potential Alternatives, Information, Analyses, and Mitigation Measures Relevant to the Proposed Action The BLM encourages comments concerning the proposed SunZia Southwest Transmission Project, feasible alternatives, possible measures to mitigate, minimize and/or avoid adverse environmental impacts, and any other information relevant to the proposed action.
