Within 30 days of this order, the ASLM and the ASWS (or the USGS, in partnership with the BLM and BOEM) shall submit to the Deputy Secretary a joint plan for updating current oil and natural gas resource assessments of Alaska's North Slope, focusing on federal lands including NPR-A and the Section 1002 area of the Alaska National Wildlife Refuge. The plan shall include consideration of the acquisition of new geological and geophysical data based on recent new discoveries, as well as potential for reprocessing existing geological and geophysical data.

Dave, should we insert the words `technically recoverable' into our description of the resources? That sentence, in part, would read `assessments of undiscovered, technically recoverable oil and natural gas resources.' That's the standard language that describes all of our assessments; we should probably be consistent. Thanks for the heads-up...
