Public Easement Closure; Prohibition of All Activities

This notice closes a 17(b) easement identified as Easement Identification Number 1 C5, E. The easement is located east of Barrow, Alaska, from Niksiirak to Plover Point. This closure notice is necessary to protect humans from an unprecedented number of polar bears in the area. The welfare of the polar bear population around Barrow, Alaska also necessitates this closure action. Discussion of this closure has taken place between BLM, the North Slope Borough, Ukpeagvik Inupiat Corporation, and the Native Village of Barrow Inupiat Traditional Government.
