Permitting Action Modification History

Planned
Q4 Update: The BLM internal review and briefing process occurred during the transition period for new BLM and Department Leadership. As such, the review of the project is requiring enhanced coordination. This has affected the NOI and scoping milestones for this project. New NOI milestone date of 12/19/25 and the scoping to 1/19/2026. Due to a Plan Maintenance for Nevada and Northeastern California Sub-Region Greater Sage-Grouse Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan Amendment (2015), a Resource Plan Amendment is no longer required. The Planned Maintenance Action used the best available science and site-specific data, updating the Greater Sage-Grouse Habitat Management Area Map. Habitat Management Area designations were changed to Non-Habitat.
