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

AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, DOI.

ACTION: Notice of availability of Fort Greely 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 Fort Greely military withdrawal, which is located near Delta 
Junction, Alaska, southeast of Fairbanks. 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, Delta Junction, and Anchorage, and at the Steese/White 
Mountains District Office in Fairbanks and the Alaska State Office in 
Anchorage.
