Notice of Right-of-Way Application; California

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, Interior.

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: An application, serialized as CA-17918, was received from the 
Kern River Transmission Company (Kern River) for a natural gas pipeline 
right-of-way from Kern River's Opal Meter Station in Southwest Wyoming, 
across Utah and Nevada to the Kern River Daggett Compressor Station in 
Southern California.
    Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to section 28 of the Mineral 
Leasing Act of 1920 (30 U.S.C. 185), as amended by the Act of November 
16, 1973, (37 Stat. 576), Kern River has applied for a right-of-way for 
42 inch and 36 inch diameter pipelines on approximately 345 miles of 
Federal lands. The pipeline has a total length of approximately 720 
miles. The project would parallel/loop an existing pipeline and will 
accommodate projected volume needs. The legal land description is not 
presented here due to its length. Maps of the project are available at 
Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service offices located on the 
route.
    The purpose of this notice is to inform the public of the receipt 
of the application and that the Bureau of Land Management will be 
making a decision on approval of the right-of-way, and if so, under 
what terms and conditions. An Environmental Impact Statement is being 
prepared under direction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, 
lead agency for the project. The Bureau of Land Management is a 
cooperating agency.
    Additional information can be obtained by contacting Jerry 
Crockford at (505) 599-6333 or on electronic mail at
