Announcement That BLM–Alaska Has
Discontinued Its Planning Efforts for
the South Portion of the National
Petroleum Reserve—Alaska Integrated
Activity Plan and Environmental
Impact Statement
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of intent to discontinue
planning efforts for the South NPR–A.
AGENCY:
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
SUMMARY: The Bureau of Land
Management (BLM), Alaska State Office,
is discontinuing preparation of the
Integrated Activity Plan (IAP) for the
South portion of the National Petroleum
Reserve—Alaska (NPR–A) and its
accompanying Environmental Impact
Statement (EIS).
DATES: Planning activities will officially
cease with publication of this notice.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT: Bob
Schneider (907–474–2216), Lon Kelly
(907–474–2368) or Mike Kleven (907–
474–2317) by phone or by mail at 1150
University Avenue, Fairbanks Alaska,
99708–3844.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
planning area for the South NPR–A
Integrated Activity Plan/Environmental
Impact Statement includes
approximately 9.2 million acres within
the southwestern portion of the National
Petroleum Reserve—Alaska. The
planning effort was initiated with a
Notice of Intent to Plan published June

Jkt 211001
15, 2005. Although the formal scoping
period ended in August 2005 and a
scoping report was finalized in
November of 2005, further development
of the plan was suspended to allow the
North Slope Borough (a cooperating
agency) to develop a ‘‘communitybased’’ management alternative. As part
of its effort, the Borough conducted
several public meetings and submitted a
Community Based Planning Report to
the BLM in January 2007. Evident from
the Borough’s report and the BLM’s own
scoping efforts is the high level of
concern on the part of North Slope
residents regarding the potential
impacts of oil and gas activity on
subsistence resources, especially the
Western Arctic Caribou Herd, whose
primary calving area is within the South
NPR–A planning area. The Bureau’s
resource assessments indicate that the
South NPR–A planning area contains
limited oil reserves—approximately 2.1
percent of the undiscovered oil in the
NPR–A. Although the area contains an
estimated 27 percent of the NPR–A’s
undiscovered gas reserves, there is no
transportation system to move the gas to
market.
The BLM places great emphasis on
public participation during land use
planning and has listened carefully to
the concerns of the people of Alaska’s
North Slope. In consideration of these
concerns and the practicality of energy
development, the BLM is discontinuing
the South NPR–A planning effort at this
time.
