Notice of Availability of the Final
Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing
Program Supplemental Environmental
Impact Statement, Alaska
AGENCY:
Bureau of Land Management,
Interior.
ACTION: Notice of availability.
In compliance with the
National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, as amended (NEPA), the Bureau of
Land Management (BLM) announces the
availability of the Final Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS)
for the Coastal Plain Oil and Gas
Leasing Program.
DATES: The BLM will issue a decision
on the Leasing Program no sooner than
30 days after the date that the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
publishes its Notice of Availability
(NOA) in the Federal Register. The EPA
usually publishes its NOAs on Fridays.
ADDRESSES: The Final Leasing SEIS and
related documents are available for
review on the BLM ePlanning project
website at https://eplanning.blm.gov/

The Final
Leasing SEIS was developed by the BLM
and USFWS as joint lead agencies to
address deficiencies in the 2019 Coastal
Plain Oil and Gas Leasing Program
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
and the 2020 Record of Decision (ROD)
implementing the Arctic National
Wildlife Refuge Coastal Plain Oil and
Gas Leasing Program (85 FR 51754).
The joint lead agencies have prepared
this Leasing SEIS in accordance with
NEPA to implement an oil and gas
leasing program in the Coastal Plain of
the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
This Leasing SEIS serves to inform
BLM’s implementation of the Public
Law 115–97, section 20001(c)(1),
requirement to hold two lease sales of
at least 400,000 acres each by December
22, 2024. It also informs management of
on-the-ground oil and gas activities,
including seismic and drilling
exploration, development, and
transportation of oil and gas in and from
the Coastal Plain.
The Leasing SEIS considers and
analyzes the environmental impacts of
four action alternatives for
implementation of an oil and gas
program in the Coastal Plain, including
the areas to offer for sale, and the
indirect impacts that could result in
consideration of hypothetical
development. The joint lead agencies
have identified Alternative D2 as their
preferred alternative. This Leasing SEIS
does not authorize on-the-ground oil
and gas exploration or development
activities; it evaluates which lands will
be made available for lease and the
terms and conditions to be applied to
leases and on-the-ground oil and gas
activities. Future on-the-ground actions
requiring BLM approval, including
proposed exploration plans and
development proposals, would require
further NEPA analysis based on the
project-specific proposal.

Although section 20001(a)(2) and
(b)(2)(A) of Public Law 115–97 assigns
responsibility to the BLM for
administering the oil and gas program,
it is understood that all activities,
including plan development, study
development, and consideration of
exceptions, modifications, waivers, or
any operations that are proposed to be
conducted on the surface of the Coastal
Plain would include close coordination
with the USFWS to ensure that its
considerations as the surface
management agency would be taken
into account. In addition, the BLM
would consult or coordinate with other
appropriate federal, state, and North
Slope Borough agencies, Tribal
Governments, Alaska Native Claims
Settlement Act corporations, and other
Native organizations as appropriate.
Comments on the Draft Leasing SEIS
received from the public and internal
BLM and USFWS review were
considered and incorporated as
appropriate into the Final SEIS. In
response to public comment and
cooperating agency input, the joint lead
agencies developed alternative D2, a
variation on alternative D.
