WASHINGTON - The US Bureau of Land Management on Wednesday said it reversed an earlier decision freezing solar project applications in six Western states and would accept new applications.

"We heard the concerns expressed...about waiting to consider new applications and we are taking action," BLM director James Caswell said in a statement. The government agency announced a freeze a month ago and the decision was criticized by many in the solar industry. (Reporting by Georgina Coolidge; editing by Carol Bishopric)
