The DOI is amending the BLM rules governing acreage rent rate and capacity fee for solar and wind energy generation on Public Lands to effectuate changes required by the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” (OBBB) enacted on July 4, 2025.


The BLM manages about 245 million acres of public land located primarily in 12 western states, including Alaska, on behalf of the American people. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. Our mission is to sustain the health, diversity, and productivity of America’s public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations.
