The Subsistence Resource Commissions are authorized under Title VIII, section 808, of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, Public Law 96-487 and operate in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committees Act.

In light of a recent attempt to relocate National Park Service administrative personnel and offices in Washington, DC, this notice may not be published at least 15 days prior to the meeting. The National Park Service regrets these events, but is compelled to hold the meeting as scheduled because of the significant sacrifice rescheduling would require of commission members who have adjusted their schedules to accommodate the proposed meeting dates.

Draft minutes of the meeting will be available for public inspection approximately 6 weeks after the meeting at the Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve Office, 201 First Avenue, Doyon Bldg., Fairbanks, Alaska 99701, Telephone [phone].
