SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant
to 43 CFR 3131.2, the BLM is issuing
this call for nominations and comments
on tracts within the Coastal Plain (CP)
of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge
that may be offered for lease in the
upcoming CP Oil and Gas Lease Sale.
The BLM also requests comments on
tracts which should receive special
concern and analysis as well as the size
of the tracts and, specifically, whether
the sizes of any tracts should be
reduced.
BLM will protect privileged or
proprietary information in nominations
in accordance with the Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) requirements.
To avoid inadvertent release of such
information, all documents and every
page containing such information
should be marked with ‘‘Confidential—
Contains Proprietary Information.’’ To
the extent a document contains a mix of
proprietary and nonproprietary
information, the document should be
clearly marked to indicate which
portion of the document is proprietary
and which is not. Exemption 4 of FOIA
applies to trade secrets and commercial
or financial information that you submit
that is privileged or confidential. BLM
considers nominations of specific tracts
to be proprietary, and therefore BLM
will not release information that
identifies any particular nomination or
any particular submitting party, so as
not to compromise the competitive
position of any participants in the
process of indicating interest.
However, BLM’s practice is to make
all comments, including the names and

addresses of individuals, available for
public inspection. Before including your
address, phone number, email address,
or other personal identifying
information in your comments, 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.
