BLM manages 23 million acres in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NPR-A).  In 1998, BLM completed an Integrated Activity Plan (IAP) and Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Northeast NPR-A (4.6 million acres).  BLM completed an amendment to this plan in 2005, and is currently developing a supplement for this same planning area.

In a May 16, 2008, news release, Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne announced the issuance of the Final Supplemental plan for the Northeast NPR-A.  A decision on the Northeast NPR-A is due this summer.

Northeast National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska (NE NPR-A) Plans:

• 2008 NE NPR-A Final Supplemental IAP/EIS
• 2007 NE NPR-A Draft Supplemental IAP/EIS
• 2005 NE NPR-A Amended IAP/EIS
• 1998 NE NPR-A IAP/EIS
