Availability of Proposed Resource Management Plan and Final 
Environmental Impact Statement; Fort Wainwright, Alaska

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, DOI.

ACTION: Notice of availability of Fort Wainwright Proposed Resource 
Management Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Military Lands Withdrawal Act of 1986 (Pub. L. 
99-606), the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, 
Steese/White Mountains District, has prepared a Proposed Resource 
Management Plan (PRMP)/Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) for 
the portion of the Fort Wainwright military withdrawal known as the 
Yukon Maneuver Area. This tract is southeast of Fairbanks, and adjacent 
to and east and north of Eielson Air Force Base. The U.S. Army's 6th 
Infantry Division (Light) assisted in drafting the plan. The document 
addresses planning for nonmilitary use of the withdrawal. It addresses 
questions such as access, recreation, timber and fuel wood harvesting, 
and wildlife habitat and cultural resource protection. Although mining 
is discussed, none would be allowed in the immediate future because of 
potential conflicts with the military's mission.

DATES: Protests on the PRMP/FEIS must be postmarked by February 15, 
1994.

ADDRESSES: Protests on the PRMP/FEIS should be sent to: Bureau of Land 
Management, Division of Planning and Environmental Coordination (WO-
760), 1849 C Street NW. (406 L St.), Washington, DC 20240.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jim Ducker, Military Withdrawals 
Planning Team Leader, Bureau of Land Management, Alaska State Office, 
222 W. 7th Avenue, Anchorage, Alaska 99513; phone (907) 271-3369.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The PRMP/FEIS is available by contacting Jim 
Ducker at the address or phone number listed above.
    The Proposed Plan refines the Preferred Alternative presented in 
the Draft Resource Management Plan/Draft Environmental Impact Statement 
(DRMP/DEIS). These refinements are the result of comments from the 
public and the availability of information developed since the 
distribution of the draft.
    The PRMP/FEIS describes the Proposed Plan and its impacts in full 
and presents summaries of five alternatives and their impacts. Complete 
descriptions of the alternatives and their impacts can be found in the 
DRMP/DEIS which are available at the main public libraries in Fairbanks 
and Anchorage and at the Steese/White Mountains District Office in 
Fairbanks and the Alaska State Office in Anchorage.
