Mining in the Parks Act. These
regulations are applicable to all mineral
activities in park units related to
unpatented and patented mining claims
under the Mining Law of 1872 (30

all mining claim operations in parks
require NPS approval of a plan of

serves as the blueprint for the operation.
Kris DeVault, the operator of the
Liberty #9 and Liberty #13 through #18
unpatented placer claims near
Kantishna, Alaska, has submitted a
proposed plan of operations. The
Regional Director is currently evaluating
the proposed plan under the standards

plan as submitted or approve the plan
with terms and conditions. Under 36
CFR 9.17(a), the NPS is required to
publish this notice in the Federal
Register advising the public of the
availability of the proposed plan for
review.
