Description: The Bureau of Land Management exerts authority over almost 159 million acres of d-1 withdrawals in Alaska that were closed under Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) as d-1 PLO lands (that is, Section 17(d)(1) Public Land Order lands). The ANCSA withdrawals were intended to protect resources, to prevent interference with State and Native entitlements, and to study lands for conservation units. However, under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980, nearly ten million acres of withdrawn land had been opened to entry. To speed up the opening of these lands in Alaska without environmental review, the Alaska Land Transfer Acceleration Act (Public Law 108-452) was passed on December 10, 2004. That act requires review of any lands withdrawn pursuant of the ANCSA before lifting the d-1 withdrawal status. The final negotiated version of Section 207 requires the Secretary of the Interior to complete a report to Congress by June 2006 to determine and identify withdrawn lands that can be opened to appropriation. That report with numberous color maps is here, and it contains only recommendations.
