16. Specific lobbying issues

S. 2461, Arctic Refuge Protection Act, all provisions

S. 4696, University of Alaska Fiscal Foundation Act, all provisions

S. 4889, Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act Fulfillment Act of 2020, all provisions

H.R. 309, Stop Arctic Ocean Drilling Act, all provisions

H.R. 2491, S. 1311, Roadless Area Conservation Act, all provisions

H.R. 5986, Environmental Justice for All Act

H.R. 7608 -- FY21 Interior and Environment Division Appropriations Bill
-Alaska Wilderness League Action supported 3 provision in underlying bill:
The Arctic Refuge provision (Sec. 117) requires a minimum bid amount on what companies must pay to lease a piece of the Arctic Refuges fragile coastal plain. This is an important provision that would hold Congress accountable for the promises made when Arctic National Wildlife Refuge leasing was jammed through Congress in an unrelated tax package in 2017.
The Tongass provision (Sec. 434) would end taxpayer subsidies for any roadbuilding activity including design, study or construction of roads for logging in the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. For decades, the timber industry in the Tongass has quietly benefited from hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer subsidies, much of it covering costs associated with building logging roads that serve no public benefit.
The Offshore Drilling provision (Sec. 119) would prevent the Secretary of Interior and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management from conducting or authorizing oil and gas preleasing, leasing, or related activities in any planning area that didnt have proposed leases in the 2017-2022 Outer Continental Shelf Oil and Gas leasing program. This includes the Arctic Ocean where the Trump administration is trying to hold 6 leases sales over the next 5 years.
-Alaska Wilderness League Action opposed Amendment 2 (Rep. Newhouse) that tried to strip the Arctic Refuge and Tongass provisions during full committee mark-up.

H.R. 7617 -- FY21 Energy and Water Division Appropriations Bill
-Alaska Wilderness League Action supported 1 amendment:
The Pebble Mine Amendment 50 would prohibit the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers from issuing a Record of Decision for Pebble Mine - the disastrous proposed gold and copper mine in Bristol Bay, Alaska.

H.R. 7876, Polar Bear Cub Survival Act
-- Prohibits any oil and gas activities from occurring within 1 mile of polar bear maternal denning habitat in the coastal plain.
