SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Central Yukon Draft RMP/EIS is a 

comprehensive framework for future 

public land management actions in the 

Central Yukon region of Alaska. The 

planning area consists of about 55.7 

million acres of land, including 

approximately 13.3 million acres of 

public lands managed by the BLM 

Central Yukon Field Office. 

The Record of Decision for the Central 

Yukon RMP/EIS will guide management 

of these public lands for the next 15 to 

20 years for the benefit of current and 

future generations as part of BLM’s 

multiple-use mission. This planning 

effort is updating management decisions 

for public land uses and resources, 

including subsistence resources, 

mineral exploration and development, 

and recreation. When complete, the 

updated Central Yukon RMP will 

replace the Utility Corridor RMP (1991), 

the original Central Yukon RMP (1986), 

and portions of the Southwest 

Management Framework Plan (1981), as 

well as provide RMP-level decisions for 

unplanned lands west of Fairbanks. 

Although still draft, it provides: 

• Consolidated direction under one 

resource management plan to address 

land and resource use and development 

on BLM-managed public lands within 

the planning area. 

• An analysis of the environmental 

effects that could result from 

implementing the alternatives proposed 

in the Central Yukon Draft RMP/EIS. 

This Central Yukon Draft RMP/EIS 

evaluates five alternatives for managing 

the planning area. Alternative A, the no 

action alternative, represents existing 

management described by current land 

use plans and provides the benchmark 

against which to compare the other 

alternatives. Alternative B emphasizes 

reducing the potential for competition 

between development uses and 

subsistence resources by identifying key 

areas for additional management 

actions. Alternative C1 emphasizes a 

blend of resource protection and 

development at the planning level to 

maintain the long-term sustainability of 

resources while providing for multiple 

resource uses. Alternative C2, which is 

the agency preferred alternative, 

emphasizes management to facilitate 

resource development while applying 

habitat management and administrative 

designations to accommodate multiple 

uses. Alternative D focuses on 

maximizing BLM-managed public lands 

for development potential with fewer 

management restrictions at the planning 

level. Alternatives B, C1, C2, and D were 

developed using input from the public, 

tribes, stakeholders, and cooperating 

agencies. Major planning issues 

addressed include subsistence 

resources, water resources, fisheries, 

and wildlife; forestry; minerals and 

mining; recreation; travel management 

and access; and areas of critical 

environmental concern. Section 810 of 

ANILCA requires the BLM to evaluate 

the effects of all alternatives presented 

in the Draft EIS on subsistence resources 

and activities, as well as hold public 

hearings if it finds that any alternative 

may significantly restrict subsistence 

uses. The preliminary evaluation of 

impacts analyzed in the Central Yukon 

Draft RMP/EIS found that associated 

impacts may significantly restrict 

subsistence uses. Therefore, the BLM 

will hold virtual public hearings on 

subsistence resources and activities in 

conjunction with the Central Yukon

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The BLM 

intends to prepare an EA and LUPA to 

the CRMP to analyze the potential 

impacts of approving the direct sale of 

2,062 acres of public lands to ARC in 

Lyon County, Nevada. The BLM 

anticipates publishing an EA for the 

Yerington Anaconda Mine Site Disposal 

in early 2021. This document would be 

available for a 30-day public comment 

period. 

The EA will evaluate a request from 

ARC for a direct sale of public lands 

associated with the Anaconda Mine site 

near the town of Yerington in Lyon 

County, Nevada, as provided for in 

Section 203(f) of FLPMA. ARC’s 

purpose for this request is to consolidate 

land ownership, both the surface and 

mineral estate, to facilitate better 

management of the Anaconda Mine site 

remediation. The BLM must amend the 

2001 CRMP to ensure all lands within 

the designated 2,062 acres are suitable 

for disposal to the private sector. By this 

notice, the BLM is complying with the 

requirements in 43 CFR 1610.2(c) to 

notify the public of potential 

amendments to the 2001 CRMP. The 

BLM will integrate the land use 

planning process with the NEPA 

analysis process for this project. A 

Notice of Realty Action will be prepared 

for publication upon the publication of 

this notice. The project website can be 

found at https://go.usa.gov/xdVfj. 

The lands to be identified as suitable 

for disposal under this Notice are legally
