Production Site Development in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska PP 2 · 29 already submitted
What the BLM is proposing
Applicant: BLM
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to consider the effects of the construction and operation of qualifying production sites in the National Petroleum Reserve in Alaska (NPR-A). The analysis in the EIS will inform and support a rulemaking that the BLM is undertaking to provide a streamlined approach to permitting procedures for the future oil and gas production sites and associated rights-of-way in the NPR-A. This effort is in response to a May 12, 2026, petition for rulemaking from the Alaska Oil and Gas Association (AOGA) to Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum. That petition requests the BLM amend its regulations at 43 CFR 3160 to create a new program for authorization and construction of production sites and authorization of associated rights-of-way.
