U.S. District Court Orders Federal Agencies to Implement Subsistence Provisions for Tongass National Forest Submerged Lands

The U.S. District Court for Alaska has directed the Federal Subsistence Board to initiate a regulatory proceeding to identify submerged public lands within the Tongass National Forest that remain Federal public lands subject to the subsistence provisions of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the USDA-Forest Service (USDA-FS) are reviewing hundreds of potential pre-statehood withdrawals in the marine waters of the Tongass National Forest.
