AGENCY: Bureau of Land Management, 

Interior. 

ACTION: Public Land Order. 

SUMMARY: This order partially revokes 

eight Public Land Orders (PLOs) insofar 

as they affect approximately 11,163,252 

acres of public lands in the Central 

Yukon area of Alaska and opens these 

lands to allow for allotment selection by 

eligible Alaska Native Vietnam-era 

Veterans and possible conveyance 

under the Alaska Native Vietnam-era 

Veterans Land Allotment Program 

(Allotment Program) established by the 

John D. Dingell, Jr. Conservation, 

Management, and Recreation Act of 

2019 (Dingell Act). 

DATES: This PLO takes effect on 

November 21, 2024.

should use the relay services offered

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The eight 

PLOs revoked in part by this order were 

established pursuant to Executive Order 

10355 and section 17(d)(1) of the Alaska 

Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA). 

The BLM analyzed partial revocation of 

these PLOs and opening of the affected 

lands for allotment selections and 

possible conveyances under the 

Allotment Program in the Central Yukon 

Proposed Resource Management Plan 

(RMP) and Final Environmental Impact 

Statement. This order implements the 

recommendation in BLM’s Record of 

Decision approving the Central Yukon 

RMP to open ANCSA 17(d)(1) lands to 

allotment selection under the Allotment 

Program, except where the ANCSA 

17(d)(1) withdrawals overlap with PLO 

No. 5150, as amended, modified, or 

corrected. 

Before approving the Central Yukon 

RMP, BLM analyzed the effects of this 

action and determined, pursuant to 

section 810 of the Alaska National 

Interest Lands Conservation Act, that 

this action would not significantly 

restrict subsistence uses or have a 

disproportionate negative effect on 

environmental justice communities. 

PLO No. 5169 and 5173, as amended, 

modified, or corrected, withdrew public 

lands for selection by Village and 

Regional Corporations under section 

11(a)(3) of ANCSA, and for 

classification. PLO No. 5179, as 

amended, modified, or corrected, 

withdrew public lands in aid of 

legislation concerning addition to, or 

creation of, units of the National Park, 

National Forest, Wildlife Refuge, and 

Wild and Scenic Rivers systems, and to 

allow for classification of the lands. PLO 

No. 5180, as amended, modified, or 

corrected, withdrew public lands to 

allow for classification and for the 

protection of the public interest in these 

lands. PLO No. 5184, as amended, 

modified, or corrected, withdrew public 

lands to allow for classification or 

reclassification of some of areas 

withdrawn by section 11 of ANCSA. 

PLO No. 5186, as amended, modified, or 

corrected, withdrew public lands for 

classification and protection of the 

public interest in lands not selected by 

the State of Alaska. PLO No. 5188, as 

amended, modified, or corrected, 

withdrew the lands in former 

reservations for classification and 

protection of the public interest for the 

use and benefit of Alaska Natives 

pursuant to section 17(d)(1) of ANCSA. 

PLO No. 5242, as amended, modified, or 

corrected, withdrew lands pending 

determination of certain Native 

communities under section 11(b)(3) of 

ANCSA, and classification of lands not 

conveyed pursuant to section 14 of 

ANCSA. 

Order 

By virtue of the authority vested in 

the Secretary of the Interior by section 

204 of the Federal Land Policy and 

Management Act of 1976, 43 U.S.C. 

1714, and section 17(d)(1) of the Alaska 

Native Claims Settlement Act of 1971, 

43 U.S.C. 1616(d)(1), it is ordered as 

follows: 

1. Subject to valid existing rights,

5591), and 5242 (37 FR 15513) and any 

amendments, modifications, or
