Termination of the Environmental Impact Statement and Associated 
Resource Management Plan Amendment for the Section 368 Energy Corridor 
Revisions

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of termination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: By this notice, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is 
announcing the termination of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) 
described in the Notice of Intent (NOI) published in the Federal 
Register on December 1, 2023, for potential Resource Management Plan 
(RMP) Amendments for the Section 368 Energy Corridors Revisions.

DATES: The EIS effort described in the NOI is terminated immediately.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Crystal Hoyt, Realty Specialist, 
Division of Lands, Realty, and Cadastral Survey, telephone: (307) 352-
0322, email: <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#45262d2a3c31052729286b222a33"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="adcec5c2d4d9edcfc1c083cac2db">[email&#160;protected]</span></a>. Individuals in the United States who are 
deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing, or have a speech disability may dial 
711 (TTY, TDD, or TeleBraille) to access telecommunications relay 
services for contacting Ms. Hoyt. Individuals outside the United States 
should use the relay services offered within their country to make 
international calls to the point-of-contact in the United States.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA), as amended, the BLM published 
an NOI to prepare an EIS in the Federal Register on December 1, 2023 
(88 FR 83959).
    The BLM is terminating the EIS for the potential RMP Amendments 
related to several Section 368 Energy Corridor Revisions. The initial 
goal was to enable preferred siting and efficient environmental review 
for linear energy infrastructure. Now, updated processing methods and 
tools allow these activities to proceed in the changing energy market 
without requiring an EIS. Accordingly, the BLM is rescinding its NOI to 
prepare RMP Amendments and is terminating the EIS announced in the 
Federal Register at 88 FR 83959.
