RIN 1018-AC02


Visitor Service Authorizations on Alaska National Wildlife 
Refuges

AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

ACTION: Proposed rule; re-opening of public comment period.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The proposed rule would establish Fish and Wildlife Service 
regulations to implement section 1307 of the Alaska National Interest 
Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). The proposed regulations are necessary 
to establish procedures for granting historical use, Native 
Corporation, and local preferences in the selection of commercial 
operators who provide visitor services other than hunting and fishing 
guiding on National Wildlife Refuge System lands in Alaska. 
Particularly, this rule would provide guidance in the solicitation, 
award and renewal of Alaska visitor service authorizations. This 
rulemaking, the substance of which was printed as a proposed rule on 
April 25, 1995 (60 FR 20380), extends the comment period for another 60 
days to allow additional review and comment by interested groups and 
persons.

DATES: Comments will be accepted until September 11, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Regional director, Alaska 
Region, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1011 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage, 
AK 99503.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
David J. Patterson, Regional Public Use Specialist, U.S. Fish and 
Wildlife Service, 1011 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99503.
