Proposed Partial Land Conveyance to North Slope Borough

Alaska is considering a partial municipal land conveyance to the North Slope Borough, not a purchase of products or services. - Government agency: State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Mining, Land and Water, Land Conveyance Section. - Recipient: North Slope Borough, under municipal entitlement selection ADL 414828. - Proposed action: Convey state land near the Ugnuravik River while rejecting selected acreage to retain critical oil and gas infrastructure. - Acreage: The notice states approximately 538 acres would be conveyed; the attached preliminary decision states approximately 583 acres would be conveyed and approximately 185 acres rejected from a selection of about 768 acres. The documents therefore differ on the proposed conveyance acreage. - Notable terms: The transfer would be subject to existing authorizations and valid third-party interests.
