While BLM currently intends to prepare a single EIS, we request public input during the scoping period on whether the analysis should be completed through one or multiple EISs. The BLM is also seeking input on specific areas within these planning areas that may experience unique or otherwise significant impacts as a result of opening the lands, which would need to be considered in the analysis. During this 60-day scoping period, the BLM does not intend to hold any public meetings, in-person or virtual. Should the BLM later determine to hold public meetings, the specific date(s) and location(s) of any meeting will be announced at least 15 days in advance. The BLM is seeking public comments on issues, concerns, potential impacts, alternatives, and mitigation measures that should be considered in the analysis. Additional opportunities for public participation, including at least a 60-day public comment period, will be provided upon publication of the Draft EIS. The NEPA process will be completed consistent with 40 CFR 1501.10(b)(2), following which the Secretary will make a decision regarding the ANCSA 17(d)(1) withdrawals The input of Alaska Native Tribes and Corporations is of critical importance to this EIS. Therefore, during the planning process, the BLM will continue to consult with potentially affected Federally recognized Tribes on a government-to-government basis, and with affected Alaska Native Corporations in accordance with Public Law 108–199, Div. H, sec. 161, 118 Stat. 452, as amended by Public Law 108– 447, Div. H, sec. 518, 118 Stat. 3267, as well as Executive Order 13175, and other Department and Bureau policies. We respectfully request participation in consultation by Alaska Native Tribes and Alaska Native Corporations to provide their views and recommendations on the alternatives outlined above, including specific lands to be opened or to remain subject to withdrawals. The BLM will hold individual consultation meetings upon request. The BLM will also use and coordinate the NEPA process to help fulfill its obligations under the NHPA, including as provided in 36 CFR 800.2(d)(3). Information about historic and cultural resources within the area potentially affected by the proposed action will assist the BLM in identifying and evaluating impacts to such resources. Federal, State, and local agencies, along with Tribes and other stakeholders that VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:42 Aug 17, 2022 Jkt 256001 may be interested in or affected by the proposed opening of lands withdrawn under the authority of Section 17(d)(1) of ANCSA, are invited to participate in the scoping process and, if eligible, may request or be asked by the BLM to participate in the development of the EIS as cooperating agencies. It is important that commenters provide their comments at such times and in such manner that they are useful to the agency’s preparation of the EIS. Therefore, comments should be provided prior to the close of the comment period and should clearly articulate the commenter’s concerns and contentions. Comments received in response to this solicitation, including names and addresses of those who comment, will be part of the public record for this proposed action. Comments submitted anonymously will be accepted and considered.
