Abstract:
In May 2013, President Obama issued the National Strategy for the Arctic Region, which acknowledges the emerging economic opportunities in the Alaska area, as well as the need for careful stewardship and decision making for the area. The strategy emphasizes that efforts to explore and develop the minerals resource potential for the Arctic OCS must be conducted cautiously, safely, and responsibly, especially given the unique and sensitive Alaska environment, its marine resources, and the Alaska Native communities who depend on this region and its resources for subsistence. This collection addresses the provisions in a final rulemaking to revise regulations dealing with plans associated with activity on the Arctic OCS in support of this strategy.
