Summary:   The purpose of this Resource Management Plan (RMP) is to develop decisions that guide future land management actions and to provide a frameword for site-specific projects and implementation-level decisions in the planning area.   The need for the Central Yukon RMP plan grew to address changes in resources, policies, and regulations in the planning area since the existing plans were developed in the 1980s and 1990s.   BLM evaluated six alternatives representing current land use plans (including one no action alternative).   In this document, BLM is proposing Alternative E. Roughly speaking, the planning area includes lands of the central North Slope Borough lying between the National Petroleum Reserve and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, most of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline corridor from the Beaufort Sea to an area just south of Delta Junction, and a wide area that lies between the Brooks Range and Alaska Range from as far west as Kaltag eastward to the Dalton and Richardson highways.   Although the planning area covers 56 million acres managed by various landowners and administrators, the decisions of this RMP will apply only to the 13.1 million acres managed by BLM.
