This resolution cancels the federal government's 2024 land use plan for central Alaska. That plan set rules for where mining, oil and gas, roads, and other development could happen, and which areas got extra protection for wildlife, fish, and subsistence use.
This joint resolution nullifies the rule submitted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) relating to the Record of Decision and Approved Resource Management Plan (RMP) for Alaska’s Central Yukon planning area and issued on November 12, 2024. By way of background, an RMP guides the management of lands administered by the BLM. This Central Yukon RMP modified the prior RMP for the area, including by designating 21 areas of critical environmental concern or research natural areas, encompassing approximately 3,611,000 acres.
