Full or partial revocation of the ANCSA 17(d)(1) withdrawals may result in changes to land use that could affect local residents, wildlife, vegetation, cultural resources, subsistence, and recreation across up to 28 million acres of BLM-administered land in Alaska. Schedule for the Decision-Making Process: The BLM will provide opportunities for public participation consistent with the NEPA processes, including a 60-day comment period on the Draft EIS. A Secretarial decision is anticipated in Summer 2024, following the publication of a Final EIS. Public Involvement Process: This notice of availability initiates the public comment period, which will guide the development and analysis of the Final EIS. The BLM will evaluate all comments received and is specifically soliciting comments related to how to minimize effects to subsistence, cultural resources, and natural resources. The BLM will be holding virtual and inperson public meetings and Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act section 810 subsistence hearings. The specific date(s) and location(s) of these meetings will be announced in advance through email, social media, radio public service announcements, local media, newspapers, and on the ePlanning project page https:// eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/ project/2018002/510. The input of Alaska Native Tribes and Corporations is of critical importance to this EIS. Therefore, during the NEPA process, the BLM will continue to consult with potentially affected Tribal Nations on a government-to-government basis, and with affected Alaska Native Corporations in accordance with Executive Order 13175, as well as 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, and other Department and Bureau policies. The BLM respectfully requests participation in consultation by Alaska Native Tribes and Alaska Native Corporations to provide their views and recommendations on the analysis, including effects from the proposed activities. The BLM will hold individual consultation meetings upon request. It is important that reviewers provide their comments at such times and in such manner as are useful to the agency’s preparation of the Final EIS. Therefore, comments should be provided prior to the close of the comment period and should clearly articulate the reviewer’s concerns and contentions.
