SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, as amended (NEPA 42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.), and the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA; 16 U.S.C 3111–3126), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), are preparing an environmental assessment (EA) for a wintertime access to inholdings right-ofway (ROW) application submitted by Kaktovik Inupiat Corporation (KIC). Submitted under section 1110(b) of ANILCA, the application is for a 20-year ROW across the lands and waters of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge) between KIC lands located within the Refuge and the land-based winter transportation network west of the Refuge’s western boundary. Due to the complexity of the project, we announce via this notice that we need to extend the timeframe for completing the EA. lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 Applicant’s Proposed Activities The applicant has identified the following initial items for transport over the ROW during the term of the desired ROW permit, including but not limited to the following: • Permanent school modules for Kaktovik and other building modules; • Bi-directional movement of community vehicles; • Diesel fuel, using double-walled fuel tanks, for the community powerplant; and • Other consumables, as identified by the community. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:59 Feb 07, 2023 Jkt 259001 The number of round trips would vary year to year, depending on community needs. All products would be transported across the proposed winter overland trail on Rolligon vehicles, which exert low ground pressure. For detailed information regarding KIC’s application, please go to https://www.fws.gov/refuge/arctic. Purpose and Need for the Proposed Action The purpose of the proposed action is to assure adequate and feasible access (to the extent it does not already exist) for economic and other purposes to KIC’s inholdings within the Refuge while protecting the natural and other values of the Refuge. The need for the proposed action is established by KIC’s application for an ROW pursuant to title XI, section 1110(b) of ANICLA and the Department’s implementing regulations at 43 CFR part 36. Potential Affected Resources Based on the proposed route and methods identified by KIC in their ROW application (https://www.fws.gov/ refuge/arctic), the Service has identified the following potentially affected resources: • Polar bears and their critical habitat; • Cultural and paleontological resources; • Tundra, soils, permafrost, stream banks, and coastal banks; • Proposed wilderness and wilderness character; • Central Arctic and Porcupine caribou herds; • Water; • Public safety; • Viewshed; • Soundscape; • Shorebirds and other avian species; • The Hula Hula River (proposed by the Service as a wild and scenic river under the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System Act (Pub. L. 90–542; 16 U.S.C. 1271 et seq.)); • Other marine mammal species in the vicinity of the project area; • Other threatened and endangered species; • Socioeconomics of the Kaktovik community; and • Subsistence uses. Next Steps The Service received the complete application from KIC on December 21, 2021. Although departmental regulations in 43 CFR part 36 state that an EA or a draft environmental impact statement shall be completed within 9 months after the application filing date, those regulations allow for a longer time PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 period if the lead agency determines, for good cause, that the 9-month period is insufficient. Due to the complexity of the project, the Service needs to extend the completion date for the EA. The Service will complete the draft EA by September 2023. Upon completion, the Service will make the draft EA available on the Refuge’s website (https:// www.fws.gov/refuge/arctic) for a 45-day public comment period. Within 90 days after the draft EA comment period closing date, the Service will either prepare a final EA (and, if appropriate, a finding of no significant impact), or will commence development of an environmental impact statement.
