	This report, titled *Scientific Inventory of Onshore Federal Lands' Oil
	    and Gas Resources and the Extent and Nature of Restrictions or Impediments
	    to Their Development — 
          Phase II Cumulative Inventory*, supersedes Phase I of the inventory.
      The report includes:
	All five of the
          areas covered by the initial release of the inventory in 2003 (Paradox/San
          Juan, Uinta-Piceance, Greater Green River, and Powder River Basins
          and the Montana Thrust Belt)
	  Six additional areas:
	      Northern Alaska (the National Petroleum Reserve - Alaska and the Arctic
	      National Wildlife Refuge 1002 area only), the Wyoming Thrust Belt, the
	      Denver, Appalachian, and Black Warrior Basins, and the Florida Peninsula
	  The additional impact of drilling permit conditions of
	      approval, as required by Section 364 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005These 11 areas encompass 99 million acres of Federal lands
	    and contain an estimated 21 billion barrels of oil and 187 trillion cubic
	    feet of natural gas, or an estimated 76 percent of the oil and gas resources
	    under Federal onshore ownership. The report provides an inventory of the
	    extent and nature of limitations to development of these resources and does
	    not make any policy recommendations in response to its findings.

	  This appendix contains the text of stipulations applicable to the Phase
	  II inventory. Note that only the pages of the land use plans that contain
	  stipulations used in the inventory are reproduced. The stipulations used are
	  annotated with an EPCA code, e.g., [EPCA Code: UFSashley003] for a stipulation
	  in the Ashley National Forest. Note also that the various jurisdictions are
	  presented by study area. They are presented only once in the study area in
	  which they dominantly occur even though they may be present in more than one.

GIS Data*(all files below are in .zip format)*
Geodatabases (1.3GB)
  This zip file contains personal geodatabase
  files (.mdb), layer files (.lyr), and ArcMap GIS Project files (.mxd) suitable
  for users of ESRI’s ArcMap GIS. The data for each study area covered
  in this release are contained in their own geodatabase files and accompanying
  project files.  The “Basemap Data.mdb” file contains themes
  common to all eleven of the study areas such as state lines, BLM Field Office
  jurisdictional boundaries, and National Forest and Grassland boundaries.  Therefore
  it must accompany any study area files moved or copied to another location.
e00 Files (963MB) 
  This zip file  contains ArcInfo Coverage Export
  files that can be imported into a number of GIS software systems.  Subfolders
  are organized by Phase II study area and contain files broken up by Federal
  agency, agency jurisdictional, or land use planning area.  For example,
  in the “(1) Northern Alaska” subfolder, the  “akanwr.e00” file
  contains the data for the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
Detailed Spreadsheets (925KB) 
  This zip file  contains Microsoft
  Excel files that present a more detailed breakdown of the land access categorization
  than is contained in the published report.  Various tabs within each file
  contain tables and charts also found in the report, a quality control evaluation,
  and breakdowns by Federal agency, agency jurisdictional, or land use planning
  area.  The last tabs show summary information for BLM lands and National
  Forests and Grasslands within that particular study area.
EIA Proved Reserves Shapefiles (22.9MB) 
  This zip file contains  a pair
of shapefiles for each of the study areas, one showing the oil and gas field
outlines cut against federal land ownership (Fedflds) and field outlines for
all lands (Grossflds). Four of the original EPCA Phase I basins (Powder River,
Green River, Uinta-Piceance, and San Juan/Paradox Basins) are combined into shapefiles
named EPCA1_4basins_fed and EPCA1_4basins_gross. These shapefiles are the result
of the procedures detailed in Appendix 8 of the report.
**If you would like a DVD of the GIS data for EPCA Phase II, please
    send your name, address (no P.O. Boxes, please), and phone number to Richard_Watson@blm.gov.**

EPCA Phase I Report
This version has been superseded by the above 
              Phase II release. However, for reference purposes and for those 
              interested in its historical antecedent, the original Phase I release 
              of January 2003 can be found here.
