AGENCY:

The U.S. Department of the

and life ways of Alaska Natives and
Alaska Native communities. Under Title
VIII of the Alaska National Interest
Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), the
Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture jointly
implement the Federal Subsistence
Management Program. This program
provides a preference for take of fish
and wildlife resources for subsistence
uses on Federal public lands and waters
in Alaska. In accordance with The
White House Tribal Nations Summit
Progress Report, the Departments will
jointly conduct consultation sessions
with federally recognized Tribes and
with Alaska Native corporations on
Federal subsistence policy in Alaska.
DATES: Consultations: The Departments
will conduct consultations with Tribes,
Tribal consortia, and Alaska Native
organizations on Thursday, January 20,
2022, and Friday, January 21, 2022,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Departments will conduct virtual
consultations with Tribes, Tribal
consortia, Alaska Native organizations,
and Alaska Native regional and village
corporations on Federal subsistence
policy. The listening session and
consultations reflect the Departments’
commitment to strengthen governmentto-government relationships with
federally recognized Tribes and meet
requirements for consultation with
Alaska Native corporations. The
Departments’ procedures for outreach,
notice, and consultation ensure
involvement of Tribes and Alaska
Native corporations, to the extent
practicable and permitted by law, before
making decisions or implementing
policies, rules, or programs that affect
federally recognized Tribal governments
or Alaska Native corporation interests.
These consultations are open to official
representatives of federally recognized
Tribes and Alaska Native corporations.
Further detail will be provided in the
invitation letters.
Background
Under Title VIII of the Alaska
National Interest Lands Conservation
Act (ANILCA) (16 U.S.C. 3111–3126),
the Secretary of the Interior and the
Secretary of Agriculture (Secretaries)
jointly implement the Federal
Subsistence Management Program. This
program provides a preference for take
of fish and wildlife resources for
subsistence uses on Federal public
lands and waters in Alaska. The
Secretaries published temporary
regulations to carry out this program in
the Federal Register on June 29, 1990
(55 FR 27114), and published final
regulations in the Federal Register on
May 29, 1992 (57 FR 22940). The
program regulations have subsequently
been amended a number of times.
Because this program is a joint effort
between Interior and Agriculture, these
regulations are located in two titles of
the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR):
Title 36, ‘‘Parks, Forests, and Public
Property,’’ and Title 50, ‘‘Wildlife and
Fisheries,’’ at 36 CFR 242.1–242.28 and
50 CFR 100.1–100.28, respectively. The

PO 00000

regulations contain subparts as follows:
Subpart A, General Provisions; Subpart
B, Program Structure; Subpart C, Board
Determinations; and Subpart D,
Subsistence Taking of Fish and Wildlife.
Tribal Consultation and Comment
As expressed in Executive Order
13175, ‘‘Consultation and Coordination
with Indian Tribal Governments,’’ the
Departments are committed to honoring
the unique government-to-government
political relationship that exists
between the Federal Government and
federally recognized Indian Tribes
(Tribes) as listed at 86 FR 7554 (January
29, 2021).
Consultation with Alaska Native
corporations is based on Public Law
108–199, div. H, Sec. 161, Jan. 23, 2004,
118 Stat. 452, as amended by Public
Law 108–447, div. H, title V, Sec. 518,
Dec. 8, 2004, 118 Stat. 3267, which
provides that: ‘‘The Director of the
Office of Management and Budget and
all Federal agencies shall hereafter
consult with Alaska Native corporations
on the same basis as Indian tribes under
Executive Order No. 13175.’’
The ANILCA does not provide
specific rights to Tribes for the
subsistence taking of wildlife, fish, and
shellfish. However, because Tribal
members are affected by Federal
subsistence policy, the Secretaries are
consulting with federally recognized
Tribes and Alaska Native corporations.
The Departments are seeking Tribal
and Alaska Native corporation
perspectives pertaining to the following
questions:
1. How has climate change affected
subsistence? What changes could be
made to subsistence policies,
regulations, or laws to help you adapt to
those changes?
2. How can Federal agencies better
cooperate with Alaska Native Tribes,
Alaska Native consortia, Alaska Native
organizations, and Alaska Native
corporations to promote subsistence
harvest opportunities and protect
habitat?
3. How does the state management
regime affect implementation of the
Federal priority for rural residents?
4. How can the Federal Subsistence
Board and the Federal Subsistence
Program be changed to better
accommodate subsistence needs?
5. How should the Federal
Subsistence Board define rural residents
for purposes of the Federal subsistence
priority?
6. What difficulties have you
experienced in accessing subsistence
resources?
