Notice of Availability of Subsistence Resident Zone Boundary 
Maps, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Alaska

AGENCY: National Park Service, Interior.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

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

SUMMARY: On February 25, 2002 the communities of Dot Lake, Healy Lake, 
Northway (including Northway, Northway Village, and Northway Junction), 
Tanacross, and Tetlin were added (see Federal Register, February 25, 
2002, page 8481) to the subsistence resident zone for Wrangell-St. 
Elias National Park in accordance with the provisions of 36 CFR 
13.43(b). The resident zone communities for the park, including the 
five new communities, are listed at 36 CFR 13.73(a)(1). This 
designation as resident zone communities means that permanent residents 
of these communities may hunt on those lands designated as Wrangell-St. 
Elias National Park (subject to other applicable Federal Subsistence 
regulations) without needing the special subsistence eligibility permit 
described in 36 CFR 13.44.
    In addition to adding these five communities to the subsistence 
resident zone, a boundary mapping process was also adopted (see 36 CFR 
13.73(a)(2). This process provides for either a default boundary 
consisting of the area designation used for census purposes or the area 
designated by the park superintendent in consultation with the 
communities. In consultation with Dot Lake, Healy Lake, Northway, 
Tanacross, and Tetlin, the superintendent has determined boundaries for 
each of these communities.
    Notice is hereby provided of boundary designations for each of the 
five communities in accordance with the consultation provisions of 
section 13.73(a)(2). As provided, copies of the designated resident 
zone boundaries are available at the park headquarters office in Copper 
Center, Alaska

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Hunter Sharp, Acting Superintendent, 
or Barbara Cellarius, Subsistence Coordinator, at Wrangell-St. Elias 
National Park and Preserve, P.O. Box 439, Copper Center, AK 99573, 
telephone (907) 822-5234.

    Dated: June 22, 2004.

Acting Regional Director, Alaska Region.
