SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site examined and found suitable for 
leasing under the provisions of section 302 (b) of the Federal Land 
Policy and Management Act of 1976 and 43 CFR 2920.0-6 is within Section 
30, T. 19 S., R. 6 W., Fairbanks Meridian, Alaska, and is approximately 
one (1) acre in area. An application to lease the site will be accepted 
from only Ray Atkins to resolve an unauthorized use of public lands. An 
existing cabin was constructed on site by Ray Atkins with the safety 
concerns of many local residents in mind for use during harsh winter 
conditions that are common for this area of Alaska. Intended to be 
remote emergency shelter in times of need, the cabin will also be open 
and available for general public use year-round, except when the 
applicant will utilize the cabin in support of his guiding activities 
in the area during a short period in the fall. Any comments and 
application must include a reference to this notice. Fair market value 
rent, as required in 43 CFR 2920.8 and as determined by Instruction 
Memorandum AK-2005-028, will be collected for the use of these lands, 
as well as reasonable administrative, processing, and monitoring costs 
for processing the lease as required in 43 CFR 2920.6.
    This determination was made upon completion of an Environmental 
Assessment, recommending that a one-acre site, be leased to Ray Atkins 
within Sec. 30, T. 19 S., R. 6 W., Fairbanks Meridian, Alaska, to 
authorize the use and occupancy of public lands and thereby resolve an 
unauthorized use(Authority: 43 CFR 2920.4(c)).
