Abstract: Subsection 358(c)(3) of Public Law 111-383 requires the Department of Defense (DoD) to establish procedures "for the coordinated consideration of and response to a request for a review received from State and local officials or the developer of a renewable energy development or other energy project." The DoD implements the foregoing requirement by providing in 32 CFR Part 211 (§ 211.7) provisions for the informal review of a proposed project. In order to initiate such a review, the requester is required to identify the geographic location of the project, including its latitude and longitude, and describe the nature of the project. Requesters are also encouraged to provide as much additional information as is available. Although the submission of such information is required in order to allow the DoD to conduct a review, State and local officials, and energy project developers are under no obligation to request informal reviews of proposed projects.
