Title VIII of the Alaska National
Interest Lands Conservation Act designates the Departments of the
Interior and Agriculture as the key agencies responsible for
implementing the subsistence priority on Federal public lands. To
help carry out subsistence management responsibilities, the
Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture established the Federal
Subsistence Management Program. Regulations implementing the
Federal Subsistence Management Program on Federal public lands
within Alaska are in the Code of Federal Regulations (50 CFR 100
and 36 CFR 242). To administer this program, we collect both form
and nonform information, including hunting and fishing
applications, permits, and reports; applications and interview
forms for membership on the regional advisory councils; proposals
and changes to subsistence regulations; and requests for
reconsideration and appeals.
