SUMMARY: This order revokes a Secretarial Order insofar as it affects

individual. You will receive a reply during normal business hours.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Federal Aviation Administration has 
determined that approximately 1,905 acres of Air Navigation Site No. 
189 is excess to its needs and has requested a partial revocation of 
the withdrawal. Upon revocation, the State of Alaska selection 
applications made under the Alaska Statehood Act and the Alaska 
National Interest Lands Conservation Act become effective without 
further action by the State. While the land remains in Federal 
ownership, there is no significant restriction on subsistence uses. If 
the lands are ultimately conveyed to the State of Alaska pursuant to 
the Alaska Statehood Act, that conveyance will not result in a 
significant restriction on subsistence. Even if any such restriction 
would result upon conveyance of the land to the State, conveyance of 
the land is authorized by Section 810(c) of the Alaska National 
Interest Lands Conservation Act.
