examined and found suitable for classification and lease to the State
of Alaska under the provisions of the Recreation and Public Purpose

Alaska proposes to lease the existing Chenik Lake Sockeye Salmon

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The lands are not needed for Federal
purposes. Lease is consistent with current BLM land use planning and
would be in the public interest.
These lands have been selected by the State of Alaska for future
conveyance under the Alaska Statehood Act.
This State wildlife project meets the criteria for special pricing.
The authorized officer will impose the following terms and
conditions on the lease:

land laws, including the general mining laws, except for lease or
conveyance under the Recreation and Public Purposes Act, Alaska
Statehood Act and leasing under the mineral leasing laws.

the future use or uses of the land, whether the use is consistent with
local planning and zoning, or if the use is consistent with State and
Federal programs.
Application Comments
Interested parties may submit comments regarding the specific use
proposed in the application and plan of development, whether the BLM
