Councils are statutory Federal advisory
committees that provide a public forum

the Alaska National Interest Lands
Conservation Act (ANILCA; 16 U.S.C.

The Councils are a crucial link
between federally qualified subsistence
users and the Board. The Board is a
multi-agency body with representation
from a chair and two public members
who are appointed by the Secretary of
the Interior with the concurrence of the

includes representatives of the U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service, National Park
Service, Bureau of Land Management,
Bureau of Indian Affairs, and U.S.
Forest Service.
Each Council meets approximately
two times per calendar year, once in the
winter and once in the fall, to attend to
business and develop proposals and
recommendations to the Board.

the methodology and assumptions used;
(3) Ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to

(4) How might the agency minimize
the burden of the collection of
information on those who are to
respond, including through the use of
appropriate automated, electronic,
mechanical, or other technological
collection techniques or other forms of
information technology, e.g., permitting
electronic submission of response.
