RIN 1018-AC02
Visitor Service Authorizations on Alaska National Wildlife
Refuges
AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.
ACTION: Proposed rule; re-opening of public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The proposed rule would establish Fish and Wildlife Service
regulations to implement section 1307 of the Alaska National Interest
Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA). The proposed regulations are necessary
to establish procedures for granting historical use, Native
Corporation, and local preferences in the selection of commercial
operators who provide visitor services other than hunting and fishing
guiding on National Wildlife Refuge System lands in Alaska.
Particularly, this rule would provide guidance in the solicitation,
award and renewal of Alaska visitor service authorizations. This
rulemaking, the substance of which was printed as a proposed rule on
April 25, 1995 (60 FR 20380), extends the comment period for another 60
days to allow additional review and comment by interested groups and
persons.
DATES: Comments will be accepted until September 11, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Comments should be addressed to Regional director, Alaska
Region, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1011 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage,
AK 99503.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
David J. Patterson, Regional Public Use Specialist, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, 1011 E. Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK 99503.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

This document announces a 60-day re-opening of the comment period
for the proposed Revenue producing visitor services, that was published

comment period expired on June 26, 1995. Many comments received during

proposed regulations. Accordingly, the comment period for the proposed
rule is hereby extended for an additional 60 days.
Dated: July 7, 1995.
