State extends Beaufort comment period

The Alaska Department of Natural Resources said June 26 that it is extending the public comment period for the preliminary best interest finding for proposed Beaufort Sea areawide oil and gas lease sale 2009. DNR’s Division of Oil and Gas issued the preliminary finding in April, with comments due June 1.

The comment period has been extended through Aug. 31. The division said that comments submitted during the previous public comment period from April 2 through June 1 have been incorporated into the administrative record and do not need to be resubmitted.

Best interest findings for the state’s areawide oil and gas lease sales are good for 10 years, so once issued, the Beaufort Sea best interest finding will be in effect through 2018.
