day, 7 days a week, to leave a message 

or question with the above individual. 

You will receive a reply during normal

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM 

is undertaking this Leasing EIS to 

implement the leasing program 

consistent with Public Law 115–97. The 

Leasing EIS will serve to inform BLM’s 

implementation of Public Law 115–97, 

Section 20001(c)(1), which is the 

requirement to hold multiple lease 

sales. It may also inform post-lease 

activities, including seismic and drilling 

exploration, development, and 

transportation of oil and gas in and from 

the Coastal Plain. Specifically, the 

Leasing EIS considers and analyzes the 

environmental impact of various leasing 

alternatives, including the areas to offer 

for sale, and the indirect impacts that 

could result in consideration of the 

hypothetical development scenario. The 

alternatives analyze various terms and 

conditions (i.e., lease stipulations and 

required operating procedures) to be 

applied to leases and associated oil and 

gas activities, to properly balance oil 

and gas development with protection of 

surface resources. The lands comprising 

the Coastal Plain include approximately 

1.6 million acres within the 

approximately 19.3 million-acre Arctic 

National Wildlife Refuge. 

The purpose of the public comment 

period is to inform the public of the 

availability of the Draft EIS and solicit 

comment from the public. Information 

received during the public comment 

period will be used to develop the Final 

EIS. 

Before including your address, phone 

number, email address, or other 

personal identifying information in your 

comment, you should be aware that 

your entire comment—including your 

personal identifying information—may 

be made publicly available at any time. 

While you can ask us in your comment 

to withhold your personal identifying 

information from public review, we 

cannot guarantee that we will be able to 

do so. 

The BLM has worked with interested 

parties to identify the management 

decisions best suited to local, regional, 

and national needs and concerns, as 

well as to develop a proposed action 

and alternatives consistent with the 

following criteria: 

• The EIS considers all Federal lands 

and waters within the Coastal Plain; 

• The EIS used scoping to identify 

issues; impacts and potential 

alternatives to be addressed; 

• Under Public Law 115–97, not 

fewer than two lease sales, each to 

include not fewer than 400,000 acres 

area-wide of the areas with the highest 

potential of hydrocarbons, must occur 

by December 2024; 

• The BLM considers subsistence 

resources and users, as well as potential 

actions to minimize adverse impacts to 

subsistence in accordance with section 

810 of the Alaska National Interest 

Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA); and 

• The EIS considers the surface 

management of the Coastal Plain. 

Future on-the-ground actions 

requiring BLM approval, including 

potential exploration and development 

proposals, would require further NEPA 

analysis based on the site-specific 

proposal. Potential applicants would be 

subject to the terms of the lease; 

however, the BLM Authorized Officer 

may require additional site-specific 

terms and conditions before authorizing 

any oil and gas activity based on the 

project level NEPA analysis. 

Section 810 of ANILCA requires BLM 

to evaluate the effects of the alternatives 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
67338 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 248 / Friday, December 28, 2018 / Notices 

presented in the Draft EIS on 

subsistence activities, and to hold 

public hearings if it finds that any 

alternative may significantly restrict 

subsistence uses. The preliminary 

evaluation of subsistence impacts 

indicates that certain alternatives 

analyzed in the Draft EIS and the 

associated cumulative impacts may 

significantly restrict subsistence uses. 

Therefore, the BLM will hold a public 

hearing on subsistence resources and 

activities in conjunction with the public 

meeting on the Draft EIS in the 

potentially affected community of 

Kaktovik. 

Upon completion of a Final EIS and 

Record of Decision, the BLM intends to 

conduct lease sales in accordance with 

Public Law 115–97. 

Authority: 40 CFR 1506.6(b).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BOR 

has filed an application to extend, for an 

additional 20-year term, a withdrawal 

established by PLO No. 7384 (64 FR 

19386) which will expire on April 19, 

2019. The legal descriptions written in 

PLO No. 7384 are revised to reflect the 

Cadastral Survey’s Specifications for 

Descriptions of Land: 

Gila and Salt River Meridian 

T. 6 N., R. 1 E., 

sec. 3, a portion of lot 10; 

sec. 10, S1⁄2NW1⁄4;

sec. 12, lot 1 and E1⁄2NW1⁄4NE1⁄4; 

sec. 13, lots 1 thru 4, W1⁄2NE1⁄4, W1⁄2SE1⁄4, 

and that portion of the W1⁄2 lying east of 

the east right-of-way of the Castle Hot 

Springs Road.

sec. 25, NE1⁄4 and W1⁄2. 

The areas described aggregate 1,988.27 

acres in Maricopa and Yavapai Counties. 

The proposed withdrawal would 

continue with the purpose established 

by PLO No. 7384 to protect the capital 

investments and dispersed recreation in 

the BOR’s Lake Pleasant Expansion area. 

The use of a right-of-way, interagency 

agreement, or cooperative agreement 

would not provide adequate protection 

for the capital improvement investment 

that the BOR has made to the Lake 

Pleasant expansion area. 

No additional water rights are needed 

to fulfill the purpose of the requested 

withdrawal extension. 

There are no suitable alternative sites 

since the land described contain the 

developed Lake Pleasant expansion 

area.

comments, suggestions, or objections in 

connection with the proposed 

withdrawal extension may present their 

views in writing to the BLM. 

Comments, including name and street
