SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This document provides notice that the BLM SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00064 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 44277 intends to prepare an IAP with an associated EIS for the NPR–A planning area. The NPR–A IAP/EIS will consider management of BLM-administered lands within the NPR–A. The lands in the NPR–A total approximately 22.1 million acres of surface and subsurface lands, and an additional 200,000 subsurfaceonly acres underlying Native Corporation-owned surface lands. The Naval Petroleum Reserves Production Act (42 U.S.C. 6501, et seq.), as amended, excludes the NPR–A from the application of Section 202 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (43 U.S.C. 1701, et seq.), as amended, which is the basis for the BLM’s Resource Management Plans. The BLM conducts its planning within NPR– A through IAPs. The BLM complies with all applicable laws in the preparation of an IAP, including the National Environmental Policy Act, the Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act. The BLM will work collaboratively with interested parties to identify the management decisions best suited to local, regional, and national needs and concerns. The purpose of the public scoping process is to determine the management decisions and resources to be addressed and the issues for analysis. This information will influence the development of the proposed action and alternatives, and guide the environmental analysis. You may submit written comments on management decisions and resources to be addressed and issues for analysis to the BLM at any of the public scoping meetings, or use any of the methods listed in the ADDRESSES section above. The result of this planning effort will supersede the current plans for the Northwest (2004) NPR–A, Northeast (2008) NPR–A, and Colville River Special Area (2008). Before including your address, phone number, e-mail address, or other personal identifying information in your comment, you should be aware that your entire comment-including your personal identifying information-may be made publicly available at any time. While you can ask us in your comment to withhold your personal identifying information from public review, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so. BLM personnel, through discussions within the BLM and with other agencies, individuals, and outside groups, have identified preliminary issues for analysis and the proposed scope of this plan. Most issues relate to management of oil and gas activities and the protection of resources and residents E:\FR\FM\28JYN1.SGM 28JYN1
