izing pumping installations, including determination
and consideration of the savings in energy costs that
would result from such replacement; and

duct a study of operational methods and water scheduling
techniques at all hydroelectric power plants under the ad-
ministrative jurisdiction of the Secretary that have an elec-
tric power production capacity greater than 50 megawatts,
to—

This title may be cited as the ‘‘Arctic Coastal Plain
Domestic Energy Security Act of 2001’’.
SEC. 502. DEFINITIONS.
In this title:
(1) COASTAL PLAIN.—The term ‘‘Coastal Plain’’
means that area identified as such in the map enti-
tled ‘‘Arctic National Wildlife Refuge’’, dated August
1980, as referenced in section 1002(b) of the Alaska
National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (16
U.S.C. 
3142(b)(1)), 
comprising 
approximately
1,549,000 acres.
(2) SECRETARY.—The term ‘‘Secretary’’, except
as otherwise provided, means the Secretary of the In-
terior or the Secretary’s designee.
SEC. 503. LEASING PROGRAM FOR LANDS WITHIN THE
COASTAL PLAIN.
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary shall take such ac-
tions as are necessary—
(1) to establish and implement in accordance
with this title a competitive oil and gas leasing pro-
gram under the Mineral Leasing Act (30 U.S.C. 181
et seq.) that will result in an environmentally sound
program for the exploration, development, and pro-
duction of the oil and gas resources of the Coastal
Plain; and
(2) to administer the provisions of this title
through regulations, lease terms, conditions, restric-
tions, prohibitions, stipulations, and other provisions
that ensure the oil and gas exploration, development,
and production activities on the Coastal Plain will
result in no significant adverse effect on fish and
wildlife, their habitat, subsistence resources, and the
environment, and including, in furtherance of this
goal, by requiring the application of the best commer-
cially available technology for oil and gas explo-
ration, development, and production to all explo-
ration, development, and production operations under
this title in a manner that ensures the receipt of fair
market value by the public for the mineral resources
to be leased.
(b) REPEAL.—Section 1003 of the Alaska National In-
terest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (16 U.S.C. 3143) is
repealed.
(c) COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS UNDER CER-
TAIN OTHER LAWS.—
(1) COMPATIBILITY.—For purposes of the Na-
tional Wildlife Refuge System Administration Act of
1966, the oil and gas leasing program and activities
authorized by this section in the Coastal Plain are
deemed to be compatible with the purposes for which
the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge was established,
and that no further findings or decisions are required
to implement this determination.
(2) ADEQUACY OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE IN-
TERIOR’S
LEGISLATIVE
ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT
STATEMENT.—The ‘‘Final Legislative Environmental
Impact Statement’’ (April 1987) on the Coastal Plain
prepared pursuant to section 1002 of the Alaska Na-
tional Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (16
U.S.C. 3142) and section 102(2)(C) of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C.
4332(2)(C)) is deemed to satisfy the requirements
under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
that apply with respect to actions authorized to be
taken by the Secretary to develop and promulgate the
regulations for the establishment of a leasing program
authorized by this title before the conduct of the first
lease sale.
(3) COMPLIANCE
WITH
NEPA
FOR
OTHER
AC-
TIONS.—Before conducting the first lease sale under
this title, the Secretary shall prepare an environ-
mental impact statement under the National Envi-
ronmental Policy Act of 1969 with respect to the ac-
tions authorized by this title that are not referred to
in paragraph (2). Notwithstanding any other law, the
Secretary is not required to identify nonleasing alter-
native courses of action or to analyze the environ-
mental effects of such courses of action. The Secretary
shall only identify a preferred action for such leasing
and a single leasing alternative, and analyze the en-
vironmental effects and potential mitigation measures
for those two alternatives. The identification of the
preferred action and related analysis for the first
lease sale under this title shall be completed within 18
months after the date of enactment of this Act. The
Secretary shall only consider public comments that
specifically address the Secretary’s preferred action
and that are filed within 20 days after publication
of an environmental analysis. Notwithstanding any
other law, compliance with this paragraph is deemed
to satisfy all requirements for the analysis and con-
sideration of the environmental effects of proposed
leasing under this title.

Area is of such unique character and interest so as
to require special management and regulatory protec-
tion. The Secretary shall designate as such a Special
Area the Sadlerochit Spring area, comprising ap-
proximately 4,000 acres as depicted on the map re-
ferred to in section 502(1).
(2) MANAGEMENT.—Each such Special Area
shall be managed so as to protect and preserve the
area’s unique and diverse character including its fish,
wildlife, and subsistence resource values.
(3) EXCLUSION FROM LEASING OR SURFACE OC-
CUPANCY.—The Secretary may exclude any Special
Area from leasing. If the Secretary leases a Special

exploration, development, production, and related ac-
tivities, there shall be no surface occupancy of the
lands comprising the Special Area.
(4) DIRECTIONAL
DRILLING.—Notwithstanding
the other provisions of this subsection, the Secretary
may lease all or a portion of a Special Area under
terms that permit the use of horizontal drilling tech-
nology from sites on leases located outside the area.

(b) PROCEDURES.—The Secretary shall, by regulation,
establish procedures for—
(1) receipt and consideration of sealed nomina-
tions for any area in the Coastal Plain for inclusion
in, or exclusion (as provided in subsection (c)) from,
a lease sale;
(2) the holding of lease sales after such nomina-
tion process; and
(3) public notice of and comment on designation
of areas to be included in, or excluded from, a lease
sale.
(c) LEASE SALE BIDS.—Bidding for leases under this
title shall be by sealed competitive cash bonus bids.
