6. Developing a joint interagency data retrieval system to track application progress. V. ROLES, RESPONSIBILITIES AND DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY A. 1. 2. BLM. General regulatory and management responsibilities. The BLM administers more than 261 million surface acres of public lands and 700 million acres of subsurface mineral estate (Federal land beneath surface lands owned or managed by other parties, such as the FS, National Park Service, Department of Defense and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service). Geothermal leasing. The BLM receives nominations from applicants, which may include proposed tract configurations for parcels. The BLM then forwards the proposal to the FS, which decides whether or not to consent to leasing and if so, what lease stipulations are necessary to minimize impacts to other resources and comply with regulations, policy and forest plan direction. With FS consent and once lease parcels are configured, the BLM is responsible for conducting geothermal lease sales and issuing competitive and noncompetitive leases. Although the BLM cannot issue a lease without the consent of the FS, the BLM can add any additional terms, conditions or stipulations that it deems necessary and appropriate, and must make an independent decision whether to issue the lease after review of the decision and documentation presented by the FS, and any other relevant factors. Geothermal operations. If an operator proposes to conduct exploration operations on unleased FS lands, the application is submitted directly to the FS, which has the lead to conduct any necessary National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) review and decide if the permit application should be approved and, if approved, what conditions of approval will be attached. If an operator proposes to conduct exploration operations on leased FS lands where the operator also is the lessee, the permit application is submitted to the BLM, which is the lead agency for permit review. In this case, the BLM will coordinate the NEPA review with FS, which will propose permit conditions of approval involving surface issues. The BLM will determine if the permit application should be approved and, if approved, what conditions of approval will be attached to the permit. Subsequent to leasing, if an operator proposes to drill wells intended for production or injection or to utilize the geothermal resource (which are lease exclusive operations) on Federal lands, the BLM is responsible for review and final approval of these types of operational permit applications, after consultation with the FS. Under most circumstances, a single NEPA document will be prepared with the BLM as lead and the FS as a cooperating agency. There are situations where specific interagency agreements apply and the FS will take the lead in preparing the NEPA document. BLM MOU WO300-2006-08 3. Page 3 of 15
