Arctic Cultural and Coastal Plain Protection Act (Sec. 2) This bill prohibits the Bureau of Land Management from administering an oil and gas leasing, development, production, and transportation program in and from the Coastal Plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska.

All fees collected must be deposited into the Ocean Energy Safety Fund established by this bill. Interior may use the funds to administer the inspection program, to the extent that the funds are provided in advance in an appropriations bill.
