the January 2006 ROD and enjoined the 

Secretary from further action in the 

Northeast NPR–A under that ROD. The 

primary deficiency identified by the 

court concerned the failure to 

adequately address certain cumulative 

impacts associated with development in 

the adjacent Northwest NPR–A. The 

supplemental IAP/EIS will provide 

additional analysis necessary to fully 

address the deficiencies noted by the 

court and update relevant sections of 

the document with any new 

information. Any final decision will 

consider the full range of alternatives 

contained in the January 2005 Amended 

IAP/EIS, as informed by this new 

analysis. 

While scoping is not required for 

supplements to environmental impact 

statements (40 CFR 1502.9(c)(4)), BLM 

is inviting comments on the 

supplement. Commenters are especially 

encouraged to identify measures that 

could reduce impacts to resources or 

uses that could be impacted by oil and 

gas and other activities in both the 

Northeast and Northwest NPR–A 

planning areas. The agency seeks 

specific, rather than general, 

recommendations as to stipulations, 

operating procedures, and other 

mitigating measures that the BLM could 

consider to further its goal of reducing 

impacts.
