SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Draft 

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 and 

the 2020 Record of Decision approving 

the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 

Coastal Plain Oil and Gas Leasing 

Program (85 FR 51754). 

The joint lead agencies prepared this 

Draft Leasing SEIS in accordance with 

NEPA to implement an oil and gas 

leasing program in the Coastal Plain of 

the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge 

(Coastal Plain). This Draft Leasing SEIS 

serves to inform BLM’s implementation 

of the Public Law 115–97, Section 

20001(c)(1) requirement to hold two 

lease sales. It may also inform 

management of post-lease activities, 

including seismic surveys, exploratory 

drilling, oil and gas development, and 

transportation of oil and gas in and from 

the Coastal Plain. Specifically, the Draft 

Leasing SEIS considers and analyzes the 

environmental impacts of various 

leasing alternatives and the indirect 

impacts that could result from 

hypothetical development. 

This Draft Leasing SEIS does not 

permit oil and gas extraction activities. 

It considers three action alternatives for 

implementation of an oil and gas leasing 

program in the Coastal Plain. The 

decisions to be made include which 

lands to offer for lease and what terms 

and conditions would apply to leases. 

The decisions evaluated would not 

authorize any on-the-ground activity 

associated with the exploration or 

development of oil and gas resources on 

the Coastal Plain. Future on-the-ground 

actions requiring BLM approval, 

including proposed exploration plans 

and development proposals, would 

require further NEPA analysis based on 

the site-specific proposal. 

Although sections 20001(a)(2) and 

(b)(2)(A) of Public Law 115–97 assign 

responsibility to the BLM for 

administering the oil and gas program 

on the Coastal Plain, it is understood 

that all activities, including plan 

development, study development, and 

consideration of exceptions, 

modifications, waivers, or any 

operations conducted on the surface of 

the Coastal Plain, would include close 

coordination with the USFWS as the 

surface management agency. In 

addition, the BLM would coordinate 

with other appropriate Federal, State, 

and North Slope Borough agencies; 

Tribal Governments; ANCSA 

corporations; and other Native 

organizations as appropriate. 

All comments received during the 

comment period will be considered and 

evaluated, and substantive comments 

will be addressed in the Final Leasing 

SEIS to be completed in 2024. The most 

useful comments are ones that are 

specific and address one or more of the 

following: 

• Identification of new information 

that would have a bearing on the 

analysis. 

• Inaccuracies or discrepancies in 

information or any errors in our 

portrayal of the resources and uses of 

the program area. 

• Suggestions for improving 

implementation of an oil and gas leasing 

program on the Coastal Plain, consistent 

with the purposes of the Arctic National 

Wildlife Refuge. 

• Identification of new impacts, 

alternatives, or potential mitigation 

measures. 

When you share your comments with 

us, please be as specific as possible. 

Identify the specific concern or 

correction you are suggesting, where it 

appears in the Draft Leasing SEIS, and 

the modification you feel is necessary or 

appropriate. If you have an idea for a 

potential mitigation measure, please tell 

us what it is and the benefits it would 

provide. 

Information about public meetings 

and subsistence hearings will be 

available on the project website listed in 

the ADDRESSES section, and will be 

announced through additional, public 

notices, news releases, and mailings. 

The BLM and USFWS will continue 

to consult with Indian Tribal Nations 

and Alaska Native corporations in 

accordance with Executive Order 13175, 

BLM MS 1780, and other Departmental 

policies. Tribal concerns, including 

impacts on Indian trust assets, impacts 

to subsistence resources, and potential 

impacts to cultural resources, will be 

given due consideration. 

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.
