This control number enables the BLM to collect information that is necessary to authorize and manage rights-of-way for solar and wind energy, oil and gas pipelines, and electric transmission lines with a capacity of 100 Kilovolts (kV) or more. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is requesting to revise this control number to reflect changes to the underlying regulations pertaining to renewable energy rents affecting solar and wind energy developments. This proposed rule would update the procedures governing the BLMâs right-of-way programs, focusing on one main topic that would support Unleashing American Energy (EO 14154). This will generally remove impediments and burdensome regulations or other rules that are not required by law. The RIN number for this rulemaking action is 1004-AF45.
