Notice of Extension of Segregation of Public Lands for the Rough
Hat Clark County Solar Project, Clark County, NV
AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.
ACTION: Notice of segregation extension.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) segregated public lands
included in the right-of-way application (N-099406) for the Rough Hat
Clark County Solar Project from appropriation under the public land
laws, including the Mining Law, but not the mineral leasing or material
sales acts, for a period of 2 years on October 20, 2021, subject to
valid existing rights. This 2-year extension of the segregation is
necessary to allow the BLM to complete review of the Rough Hat Clark
County Solar Project application and reach a decision on the
application.
DATES: This segregation extension for the lands identified in this
notice is effective on October 20, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This notice extends the segregation
published in the Federal Register on October 20, 2021 (86 FR 58301) for
an additional 2 years. Candela Renewables, LLC, submitted a right-of-
way application to the BLM Las Vegas Field Office for the Rough Hat
Clark County Solar Project requesting authorization to construct,
operate, maintain, and eventually decommission a 400-megawatt
photovoltaic solar electric generating facility, battery storage
facilities, associated generation tie-line, and access road facilities.
The BLM has made substantial progress in the review of the Rough Hat
Clark County Solar Project right-of-way application; however, the BLM
needs additional time to complete its review and make a decision on the
application.
The BLM completed the variance process required by the solar
programmatic environmental impact statement and determined it was
appropriate to continue processing the application. On October 21,
2022, the BLM published in the Federal Register (87 FR 68187) a Notice
of Intent to amend the Las Vegas Resource Management Plan (RMP) and
prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) for the proposed Rough
Hat Clark County Solar Project in Clark County, Nevada. The BLM is
currently preparing the draft RMP amendment/EIS.
Authority: 43 CFR 2091.3-1(e) and 43 CFR 2804.25(f).
Jon K. Raby,
Nevada State Director.
