BLM Provides update in review of 2020 integrated activity plan for national petroleum reserve in Alaska

ANCHORAGE, Alaska —The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will confirm in a status report to be filed today with the U.S. District Court for the District of Alaska that it has selected Alternative A (the “No Action” alternative) from the 2020 Integrated Activity Plan Environmental Impact Statement (IAP/EIS) as its “preferred alternative” for further consideration. If confirmed in a new record of decision (ROD), this preferred alternative would revert management of the NPR-A to the 2013 IAP, while including certain more protective lease stipulations and operating procedures for threatened and endangered species from the 2020 IAP.  This decision reflects the Biden-Harris administration’s priority of reviewing existing oil and gas programs to ensure balance on America’s public lands and waters to benefit current and future generations.
