Title: Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska--Applicability and Scope; Tongass National Forest Submerged Lands | |
Abstract:
In an October 17, 2011, order, the U.S. District Court for Alaska enjoined the United States to promptly initiate regulatory proceedings for the purpose of implementing the subsistence provisions in title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) with respect to submerged public lands within Tongass National Forest and directed entry of judgment. To comply with the order, the Federal Subsistence Board (Board) needs to initiate a regulatory proceeding to identify those submerged lands within the Tongass that did not pass to the State of Alaska at Statehood and, therefore, are subject to the subsistence provisions of ANILCA. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) started a review of hundreds of pre-Statehood (January 3, 1959) withdrawals in the marine waters of the Tongass following the Court’s order. In April and October of 2015, BLM submitted initial listings of submerged land to the Board. This rule will add those listings to the subsistence regulations to ensure compliance with the Court order. Additional listings will be published as BLM continues its review of pre-Statehood withdrawals. |
