    These regulations govern the conduct of the mineral resource 
assessment activities authorized under Sec.  1010 of the Alaska National 
Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), 16 U.S.C. 3101, et seq., in 
units of the National Park System in Alaska. The regulations are 
designed to ensure that authorized Federal agencies and their 
contractors carry out mineral resource assessment activities in an 
environmentally sound manner that does not result in lasting 
environmental impacts that appreciably alter the natural character of 
the units, or biological or ecological systems in the units; is 
compatible with the purposes for which the units are established; and 
ensures that all units are left unimpaired and preserved for the 
enjoyment of present and future generations.
