United States and the State of Alaska, 3:92-cv-0734-HRH (D. Alaska), enjoined the United States "to promptly initiate regulatory proceedings for the purpose of implementing the subsistence provisions in Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) with respect to submerged public lands within Tongass National Forest" and directed entry of judgment. To comply with the order, the Federal Subsistence Board (Board) initiated a regulatory proceeding to identify those submerged lands within the Tongass National Forest that did not pass to the State of Alaska at statehood and, therefore, remain Federal public lands subject to the subsistence provisions of ANILCA. Following the Court's decision, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the USDA-Forest Service (USDA-FS) started a review of hundreds of potential pre-statehood (January 3, 1959) withdrawals in the marine waters of the Tongass National Forest. In April and October of 2015, BLM submitted initial lists of submerged public lands to the Board. This rule adds those submerged parcels to the subsistence regulations to ensure compliance with the Court order. Additional listings will be published as BLM and the USDA-FS continue their review of pre-statehood withdrawals. 83 FR 23813 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2018-05-23/2018-10938 2018-10938 fr23my18-15 RIN 1018-BB22 4310-55-P; 3411-15-P Docket No. FWS-R7-SM-2015-0159 FXFR13350700640-167-FF07J00000 FBMS#4500096963 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2018-05-23/2018-10938 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-05-23/html/2018-10938.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2018-05-23/pdf/2018-10938.pdf Administrative Practice and Procedure Alaska Fish National Forests Public Lands Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Wildlife 7 p. 23813 23819 83 FR 23813 Title 36 Part 242 36 CFR Part 242 Title 50 Part 100 50 CFR Part 100 RIN 1018-BB22 Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska-Applicability and Scope; Tongass National Forest Submerged Lands; Federal Register Vol. 83, Issue RULE 2018-10938 DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Forest Service DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service 2018-06-22 Docket No. FWS-R7-SM-2015-0159 FXFR13350700640-167-FF07J00000 FBMS#4500096963 4310-55-P; 3411-15-P 2018-10938 Final rule.

The U.S. District Court for Alaska in its October 17, 2011, order in Peratrovich et al. v. United States and the State of Alaska, 3:92-cv-0734-HRH (D. Alaska), enjoined the United States "to promptly initiate regulatory proceedings for the purpose of implementing the subsistence provisions in Title VIII of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) with respect to submerged public lands within Tongass National Forest" and directed entry of judgment. To comply with the order, the Federal Subsistence Board (Board) initiated a regulatory proceeding to identify those submerged lands within the Tongass National Forest that did not pass to the State of Alaska at statehood and, therefore, remain Federal public lands subject to the subsistence provisions of ANILCA. Following the Court's decision, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the USDA-Forest Service (USDA-FS) started a review of hundreds of potential pre-statehood (January 3, 1959) withdrawals in the marine waters of the Tongass National Forest.

This rule adds those submerged parcels to the subsistence regulations to ensure compliance with the Court order.
