SUMMARY: This document provides notice that the Bureau

the management
decisions that are best suited to local, regional, and
national needs
and concerns. The public scoping process will identify
planning issues
and develop planning criteria. The public is invited
to nominate
potential areas of critical environmental concern and
potential special
management areas during the planning process. The
planning area is
located from the southern slopes of the Alaska Range
to the Chugach
Mountains, from the Talkeetna Mountains to the
Wrangell Mountains, and
includes an extensive area of coastline in Prince
William Sound.
DATES: The public scoping process will begin on the
date of this
publication in the Federal Register and will end after
90 days.
Comments on issues and planning criteria can be
submitted in writing to
the address listed below. All public meetings will be
announced through
the local news media and the BLM Web site (http://
www.glennallen.ak.blm.gov

the event. The
minutes and list of attendees for each meeting will be
available to the

Public Participation: Public meetings will be held
throughout the plan
scoping and preparation period. In order to ensure

in the
communities of Anchorage, Fairbanks, Valdez, Delta
Junction, Paxson,
Glennallen, and Slana as well as the villages of

administered lands within the planning area. In
addition to the ongoing
public participation process, formal opportunities for
public
participation will be provided through comment on the
alternatives and
upon publication of the BLM draft RMP/EIS.
