require that interested members of the
public and affected agencies be given an
opportunity to comment on information
collection and recordkeeping activities
(see 5 CFR 1320.8(d) and 1320.12(a)).
This notice identifies an information
collection that the BLM will be
submitting to OMB for approval. The

Paperwork Reduction Act provides that
an agency may not conduct or sponsor
a collection of information unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number. Until OMB approves a
collection of information, you are not
obligated to respond.
The BLM will request a 3-year term of
approval for this information collection
activity. Comments are invited on: (1)
The need for the collection of
information for the performance of the
functions of the agency; (2) the accuracy
of the agency’s burden estimates; (3)
ways to enhance the quality, utility and
clarity of the information collection; and
(4) ways to minimize the information
collection burden on respondents, such
as use of automated means of collection
of the information. A summary of the
public comments will accompany our
submission of the information collection
requests to OMB.
The following information is provided
for the information collection:
Title: Authorizing Grazing Use (43
CFR subparts 4110 and 4130).

and IV of the Federal Land Policy and
Management Act (43 U.S.C. 1731–1753)
authorize the BLM to manage domestic
livestock grazing on public lands
consistent with land use plans, the
principles of multiple use and sustained
yield, environmental values, economic
considerations, and other relevant
factors. In order to meet those goals, it
is necessary to collect information on
matters such as permittee and lessee
qualifications for a grazing permit or
lease, base property used in conjunction
with public lands, and the actual use
made by livestock authorized to graze
on the public lands.
Frequency of Collection: The BLM
collects the information on Forms 4130–
1, 4130–1a, 4130–1b, and 4130–4 on
occasion, and collects the information
on Forms 4130–3a and 4130–5 annually.
Responses are required in order to
obtain or retain a benefit.
Estimated Number and Description of
Respondents: Any U.S. citizen or
validly licensed business may apply for
a BLM grazing permit or lease. The BLM
administers nearly 18,000 permits and
leases for grazing domestic livestock,
mostly cattle and sheep, at least part of
the year on public lands. Permits and
leases generally cover a 10-year period
and are renewable if the BLM
determines that the terms and
conditions of the expiring permit or
lease are being met.
Estimated Reporting and
Recordkeeping ‘‘Hour’’ Burden: 33,810

Notice of Intent to Prepare an
Environmental Impact Statement for
the Proposed San Juan Basin Energy
Connect Project, San Juan County,
New Mexico, and La Plata County,
Colorado
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent.
AGENCY:

In compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969 (NEPA), as amended, and the
Federal Land Policy and Management
Act of 1976, as amended, the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) Farmington
Field Office, Farmington, New Mexico,
intends to prepare an Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS) on the proposed
San Juan Energy Connect Project, and by
this notice is announcing the beginning
of the scoping process to solicit public
comments and identify issues.
DATES: This notice initiates the public
scoping process for the EIS. Comments
must be received in writing by the BLM
on or before March 11, 2011. The date(s)
and location(s) of any scoping meetings
will be announced at least 15 days in
advance through local media,
newspapers and the BLM Web site at:
http://www.blm.gov/nm/farmington. In
order to be included in the Draft EIS, all
comments must be received prior to the
close of the scoping period or 15 days
after the last public meeting, whichever
is later. The BLM will provide
additional opportunities for public
participation upon publication of the
Draft EIS.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
applicant, Tri-State has requested a
right-of-way (ROW) authorization to
construct, operate, and maintain a 230
kilovolt (kV) transmission line from the
Farmington, New Mexico area to
Ignacio, Colorado. The San Juan Basin
Energy Connect Project is generally
located between Townships 30 and 33
North, Ranges 16 through 7 West, New
Mexico Principal Meridian, San Juan
County, New Mexico, and La Plata
County, Colorado. The project area
extends from within 1 mile of
Farmington, New Mexico, and within 3
miles of the Navajo Nation, to within 5
miles of Durango, Colorado. The project
area covers approximately 174,096 acres
of mixed Federal, State, Tribal and
private lands. The BLM Farmington
Field Office and Bureau of Indian
Affairs manage the Federal lands in the
project area.
The proposed project would entail the
expansion of the existing Shiprock
Substation to accommodate the new 230
kV line termination and installation of
additional 345/230 kV transformation
equipment. The construction involves
approximately 35–40 miles of new
double-circuit 230 kV transmission line
from the existing Shiprock Substation to
the proposed Kiffen Canyon Substation
near the City of Farmington’s Glade
Switching Station. It is proposed that
approximately 45–50 miles of new
double and single-circuit 230 kV
transmission line would be constructed
between the proposed Kiffen Canyon
Substation and the proposed Iron Horse
Substation near Ignacio, Colorado. In
addition to transmission facilities,
traditional vehicle access to these new
electrical facilities would be needed.
New access would be minimized by
using existing access whenever possible.
The BLM Farmington Field Office will
serve as the lead agency for the NEPA
analysis process and preparation of the

EIS. Cooperating agencies identified at
this time include the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, Southern Ute Indian Tribe,
Rural Utilities Service, and Western
Area Power Administration. The
proposed action is in conformance with
the Farmington Resource Management
Plan and Record of Decision dated
December 2003. The purpose of the
public scoping process is to determine
relevant issues that will influence the
scope of the environmental analysis,
including alternatives, and guide the
process for developing the EIS. The EIS
for the San Juan Basin Energy Connect
Project will analyze the environmental
consequences of implementing the
proposed action and alternatives to the
proposed action, including a No Action
Alternative. The BLM encourages the
public to send comments concerning the
project as proposed; other feasible
alternative locations; possible mitigation
measures; and any other information
relevant to the proposed action. Other
alternatives that may be considered in
detail include additional alignments.
The BLM initiated scoping for this
project in public meetings held in
Farmington, New Mexico, and Ignacio,
Colorado, on October 7 and 8, 2009,
respectively. Public input suggested that
an EIS level analysis would be more
appropriate than the proposed
Environmental Assessment (EA). At that
time, the proposed action was discussed
as being a combination of 48 corridors
identified by a Macro Corridor Study,
completed prior to the initiation of the
NEPA process. Public notices and direct
mailings were used to inform those
potentially affected or interested in the
proposal and information was also
available on the project Web site
(http://www.SJBEnergyConnect.com). In
addition to accepting comments at the
workshops, BLM invited interested
individuals to submit their comments
using the project Web site, e-mail, U.S.
Postal Service, a dedicated 1–800
hotline, or fax.
Scoping for the EA yielded 232
separate comments from 91 individuals.
In addition to highlighting the need to
develop an EIS, scoping identified key
preliminary issues that will be used in
the development and analysis of the
alternatives. These issues include:
• Proximity of the transmission line
to residences;
• Land use;
• Impacts to visual resources;
• Health and safety concerns; and
• Impacts related to noise.
The BLM will provide additional
opportunities for public participation
through scoping meetings and the
opportunity to submit comments during
the scoping period. The BLM will use
