Summary
This EO establishes a policy to fully utilize Alaska's abundant natural resources. It directs federal agencies to rescind or revise restrictions, policies and environmental reviews implemented since January 2021 that limit resource development on federal and state lands in Alaska, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). It further tasks agencies with expediting the permitting, leasing and infrastructure projects critical for developing Alaska's resources, particularly its liquefied natural gas (LNG) industry and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline System.
