1076-AF23 201410 The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1076 Bureau of Indian Affairs BIA 1000 Department of the Interior DOI Land Acquisitions in Alaska

This rule deletes a provision of the regulations governing acquisition of land into trust for Indian tribes and individuals. The provision being deleted prohibited the Secretary from taking land into trust in the State of Alaska. A recent court decision ruled that the Secretary is authorized to take land into trust in Alaska, and this rule will make trust acquisitions possible.
