PUBLIC NOTICE Notice of Upcoming Relinquishment of Alaska Statehood Act Land Selections The Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Division of Mining, Land & Water (DMLW) is proposing to relinquish Alaska Statehood Act (Pub. L. 85-508) land entitlement selections in accordance with the provisions in the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) (Pub. L. 96-487) and the Alaska Land Transfer Acceleration Act (ALTAA) (Pub. L. 108-452). Section 906(f) of ANILCA granted the State the ability to select additional lands that exceed the total remaining entitlement by 125% (over selections). Section 906(f) also provided that the State can prioritize its remaining land selections and that over selections would be relinquished as entitlement lands were conveyed to the State. Section 404(4) of ALTAA requires the State to relinquish over selections that are greater than the 125% limit set under ANILCA. DMLW will be relinquishing lower priority selections in accordance with ANILCA Section 906(f) and ALTAA Section 404(4). Alaska Statute (AS) 38.05.035 allows for disposal of interests in state lands and AS 38.05.945 provides procedures for notice of those disposals. Relinquishment of entitlement land selections will be noticed as individual parcels or in larger groups. Public notice and decisions related to State entitlement land selection relinquishments will be available on the State of Alaska online public notice portal: https://aws.state.ak.us/OnlinePublicNotices/Login.aspx. Interested parties are encouraged to subscribe to the portal to ensure receipt of all notices. DMLW has created a GIS StoryMap to help inform the public of areas being considered for relinquishment, parcels out for public notice or decisions, and general information about progress on the relinquishment efforts.
