"The Bureau of Land Management of the Department of the Interior is proposing oil and gas lease sale 85 in the northeastern Chukchi Sea. This sale is currently scheduled for February 1985. The area from which tracts will be identified for leasing is located between 68°30' N. and 71° N. latitude and is bounded on the east by the Federal/State 3-mile geographical boundary and on the west by the U.S. - U.S.S.R. 1867 convention line (Figure 1.1). The Bureau of Land Management has requested a report from the National Marine Fisheries Service that describes the resources within the general area of evaluation and identifies the potential effects of oil and gas operations upon these resources and their environment. This document is prepared in response to that request"--Introduction. [doi:10.7289/V5/TM-F/AKR-3 (http://doi.org/10.7289/V5/TM-F/AKR-3)]
