Land Uses; Revenue-Producing Visitor Services in Alaska

The Department is adopting regulations to establish procedures by which certain persons may conduct revenue-producing visitor services in Conservation System Units within the National Forests in Alaska. These regulations are required by section 1307 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. This final rule will guide the solicitation, selection of applications, and issuance of permits for visitor services within Conservation System Units for the National Forests in Alaska. The intent is to establish workable procedures for recognizing and administering statutory rights and preferences for conducting visitor services within these units.
