Model and R Code Files used in the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Analysis for a Proposed Incidental Harassment Authorization

As discussed in the proposed rule, the Service conducted an analysis using models to evaluate potential impacts of the BLM’s legacy well remediation activities on polar bears. A description of the modeling is contained within the Federal Register notice. In response to a request from the public, the Service is also providing the models used for these analyses along with associate spatial files, R code, and calculations in our analyses.
