Joint Comments Regarding Land Segregation for Renewable Energy
On June 27, 2011, SEIA, in conjunction with the American Wind Energy Association, submitted comments in response to the Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) Interim Temporary Final Rule and Proposed Rule on the Segregation of Lands for Renewable Energy. These rules provide BLM the authority to temporarily segregate land in pending or future wind and solar energy generation right-of-way applications from mining claims.
