Summary: The proposed federal action is to issue one Right-of-Way Grant (OR 66634) pursuant to Title V of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of October 21, 1976 (90 Stat. 2776; 43 USC 1761) for the three new electrical conductor line segments to be installed under the road surface of existing BLM roads #40-8-23, #40-8-23.1 and #40-8-23.2. This electrical line will provide service to a new cell tower in Takilma. Two electrical vaults would be installed. The requested period for the grant is for a term of 50 years, which would be reviewed by the Authorized Officer at the end of the 20th year and at regular intervals thereafter not to exceed 10 years. Work is requested to begin in the fall 2011. All BLM decisions under 43 CFR Part 2800 remain in effect pending an appeal (See 43 CFR § 2801.10) unless the Secretary rules otherwise. Rights-of-Way decisions that remain in effect pending an appeal are considered as "in full force and effective immediately" upon issuance of a decision. Thus, this decision is now in effect.
