SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Introduction: The U.S. Department of
the Interior (DOI), BLM Alaska State
Office, prepared this EIS to evaluate the
effects of any Secretarial decision to
open lands subject to the Alaska Native
Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) Section
17(d)(1) withdrawals within the lands
described in Public Land Orders (PLOs)
7899 through 7903. (The potential
opening of the lands subject to these
17(d)(1) withdrawals is hereafter
referred to as the project). PLOs 7900,
7901, 7902, and 7903, which would
revoke withdrawals of lands in the Ring
of Fire, Bay, Bering Sea-Western
Interior, and East Alaska planning areas,
respectively, were signed on January 15
and 16, 2021; however, they were never
published in the Federal Register. PLO
7899, which would revoke withdrawals
of lands in the Kobuk-Seward Peninsula
planning area, was signed on January
11, 2021, and published in the Federal
Register on January 19, 2021 (86 FR
5236). Subsequently, the DOI identified
certain procedural and legal defects in
the decision-making process for these
PLOs, as described in the April 16,
2021, Federal Register notice (86 FR
20193), including an insufficient
analysis under NEPA. The DOI
extended the opening order for PLO
7899 until August 31, 2024, to provide
an opportunity to review the decisions
and to ensure the orderly management
of the public lands (88 FR 21207). The
BLM is using this time to address
identified deficiencies and update the
NEPA analysis supporting the decisions

Frm 00053
Fmt 4703

regarding the PLOs now under review
(the 2021 Action).
Purpose and Need for Action: The
2021 Action under review is revocation
of the ANCSA 17(d)(1) withdrawals as
described in PLOs 7899, 7900, 7901,
7902, and 7903. This EIS evaluates the
resource conditions on these lands and
incorporates and describes additional
coordination with other Federal
agencies, State and local governments,
federally recognized Tribes, Alaska
Native Corporations, and stakeholders
to ensure that the environmental
analysis previously conducted will be
updated and expanded upon as
appropriate. This additional analysis is
necessary to understand the impacts of
revocation of the ANCSA 17(d)(1)
withdrawals; to correct errors in the
previous decision-making process
regarding these withdrawals; and to
ensure that opening these lands is
consistent with the purposes of ANCSA
17(d)(1), which requires that ‘‘the public
interest in these lands is properly
protected,’’ including factors such as
subsistence hunting and fishing, habitat
connectivity, protection of cultural
resources, and protection of threatened
and endangered species. This evaluation
is needed to make an informed public
interest determination to support
revocation in full, revocation in part, or
full retention of the ANCSA 17(d)(1)
withdrawals.
Alternatives: The BLM considered
alternatives that would provide different
configurations of 17(d)(1) withdrawals
that would be retained or revoked in the
five planning areas (Bay, Bering SeaWestern Interior, East Alaska, KobukSeward, and Ring of Fire). Each of the
alternatives identifies 17(d)(1)
withdrawals in the five planning areas
as retained or revoked. The alternatives
range from retaining the withdrawals on
all lands (Alternative A) to revoking the
withdrawals on all lands (Alternative
D). Alternatives B and C include partial
revocations of the withdrawals.
Summary of Expected Impacts: The
revocation of the withdrawal on lands
subject to State top filings under the
Statehood Act would result in the
State’s selections becoming effective
and a resulting loss of Federal
subsistence priority applying to those
lands. No development plans have been
submitted, and no stipulations are
attached to the lands that would prevent
any specific development. Therefore,
the EIS provides a Reasonably
Foreseeable Development scenario that
identifies and quantifies potential
development activity in the decision
area, including the extraction of
leasable, locatable, and salable minerals,
as well as the establishment of
