The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) mandates that rural residents of Alaska receive priority for subsistence uses of fish and wildlife. In 1989, the Alaska Supreme Court ruled that ANILCA's rural priority violated the Alaska Constitution. As a result, the Federal Government manages subsistence uses on Federal public lands and waters in Alaska--about 230 million acres or 60 percent of the land within the State.
Title VIII of ANILCA (16 U.S.C. 3111-3126) 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).
The Federal Subsistence Management Program is a multi-agency effort to provide the opportunity for a subsistence way of life by rural Alaskans on Federal public lands and waters while maintaining healthy populations of fish and wildlife. Subsistence fishing and hunting provide a large share of the food consumed in rural Alaska. The State's rural residents harvest about 22,000 tons of wild foods each year--an average of 375 pounds per person. Fish make up about 60 percent of this harvest Statewide.
This is a request for a new control number in conjunction with the Office of Subsistence Management (OSM) final rule RIN 1018-BI07 (original)/1090-AB30 (New), Subsistence Management Regulations for Public Lands in Alaska-Transfer of Regulations published on July 18, 2025.
With this submission, in conjunction with the separate but simultaneous ICR submitted to OMB convert all remaining information collections currently approved under 1018-0075 to a new 1090 control number (ICR Ref# 202411-1090-001, we request approval to convert the following forms to new DI common forms for use by both the Office of Subsistence Management Program and the USDA-FS.
