Land ownership and the regulatory framework for oil, gas, and coal leasing in Alaska
The Bureau of Mines mission is to help ensure that the United States has an adequate and dependable supply of minerals to meet its defense and economic needs at acceptable social, environmental, energy, and economic costs. To help fulfill this mission, the Bureau has conducted a program for the 11 contiguous States from Montana to New Mexico and west that geographically compares Federal land availability for mineral exploration on a State-by-State basis. In Alaska the scope of the work has been broadened to include all lands: Federal, State, and private (Native corporations). Industry relies in part on Federal lands to produce the mineral resources necessary to supply the Nation. Concern over accessibility to mineral and energy resources has been expressed by industry as well as the Federal Government. The study summarizes the availability of Federal, State, and private land for oil, gas, and coal leasing in Alaska. The regulatory framework which defines various Federal agencies' management policy is also discussed.
