Comment on FR Doc # E9-25876

Dear Mr. Obama and Mr. Strickland Be advised that what you are proposing is illegal. 101(d) of ANILCA states that the need or more parks, preserves, monuments, wild and scenic rivers, etc. in Alaska has been met. Section 1326(a) specifically states that administrative closures, including the Antiquities Act, of more than 5,000 acres can no longer be used in Alaska and that if a larger area is administratively withdrawn, “Such withdrawal shall terminate unless Congress passes a joint resolution of approval within one year after the notice of such withdrawal has been submitted to Congress.” Section 1326(b) “No further studies of Federal lands in the State of Alaska for the single purpose of considering the establishment of a conservation system unit, national recreation area, national conservation area, or for related or similar purposes shall be conducted unless authorized by this Act or further Act of Congress.” Therefore, the need for 60 days of comment is unnecessary and an admission of the error should be published. Thank you.
