Description: <DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>AreaWideBndry - The Area Boundary feature class provides individual outlines for the five Areawide lease sale areas for the State of Alaska: the Alaska Peninsula, Cook Inlet, North Slope, North Slope Foothills and Beaufort Sea. The purpose of Areawide leasing is to provide an established time each year that the state will offer for lease all available acreage within the five geographical regions. The leasing program is governed by Alaska Statute 38.05.035. PLEASE NOTE - These boundaries do not reflect tracts excluded from a particular lease sale. The user must refer to the sale announcement and possibly other documentation to identify tracts that have been permanently deleted or deferred from a particular sale. More information can be found through the Division of Oil and Gas web site, under the Leasing Section: http://www.dog.dnr.alaska.gov/</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV>
