PUBLIC NOTICE
Requesting Input on
a Proposed Relinquishment of State Entitlement Lands
Comment Period Ends 3:00 PM, Aug. 13, 2024
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is proposing to relinquish the State's entitlement land selection on those lands within Tract H of United States Survey filed Sept 23, 2004, including approximately 160 acres on the west side of the Nome-Teller Highway with its eastern edge along the highway and its western edge being along the section line between section 34 and 35, in Township 7 South, Range 37 West, Kateel River Meridian, Alaska; while retaining Oil & Gas and Mineral rights. A location map is available with this notice. The purpose of relinquishment is to facilitate Dingell Act allotment application #AA-97675.
The 2019 John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, Management, and Recreation Act (Dingell Act) (Pub. L. 116-9) provides that eligible Alaska Native Vietnam Veterans may apply for allotments of up to 160 acres of land from vacant, unappropriated, and unreserved land that the State has selected pursuant to 6(b) of the Alaska Statehood Act, and that the State agrees to voluntarily relinquish. In accordance with the Act, the State is considering relinquishing the surface estate identified above.
Alaska Statute (AS) 38.05.035 allows for disposals of interests in state lands, and AS 38.05.945 provides procedures for notice of those disposals.
