Act
This program change implements
a U.S. District Court decision holding that the Department has the
statutory authority to take Alaska land into trust for Alaska
Natives, and vacating the provision of the regulations prohibiting
the Department from taking Alaska land into trust. The program
change would allow Alaska tribes the opportunity to submit
applications to take off-reservation land into trust, so we
increased our estimate of off-reservation applications to reflect
this increase in respondents.
