The BLM Utah State Office is accepting land parcel nominations for the 2023 geothermal lease sale. The deadline has been extended to February 28, 2022.
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah State Office is currently accepting nominations of lands for geothermal lease sale. The competitive geothermal lease sale will be virtually held in 2023. Nominations will be accepted until February 28, 2022.
Land nominations must be submitted with the Department of the Interior (DOI), BLM Form 3203-1, and comply with 43 CFR 3203 (72 FR 24406, May 2, 2007). Please refer to these regulations for nomination requirements regarding maximum acreage, acceptable land descriptions, and nominating parcels as a block. These regulations may be found at https://www.ecfr.gov under Title 43, Volume 2, Chapter II, Part 3200.
Nominations are not automatically placed on a sale when received, and BLM cannot guarantee that the nominated lands will always be included on a particular sale notice. The parcels must be reviewed for availability, as well as environmental and cultural concerns, prior to being placed on a sale. Sale parcels will normally be configured as requested; however, BLM reserves the right to adjust the parcel size and configuration as needed.
For more details on how to submit nominations, please visit the BLM Utah website.
