Alaska DNR moves to fix erroneous land conveyance near Tok; comment deadline August 18

Alaska Department of Natural Resources is proposing to reconvey 39.50 acres near Tok to the federal government in trust for an Alaska Native allotment, with public comments due by August 18.

The preliminary decision would reconvey the parcel to the United States in trust for Emma Northway's Native allotment. It also proposes a partial vacation of ASLS No. 87-85. The land is described as U.S. Survey No. 13731, eight miles south of Tok, under case file ADL 233636.

Only people who submit timely written comments will be eligible to appeal the Final Finding and Decision. If no significant changes result from public comment, the preliminary decision becomes final without further notice.

Comments may be submitted to Kathryn Young at the DNR Anchorage office by mail, fax, or email by 3 p.m. on August 18. Those needing special accommodations or auxiliary aids must contact the DNR Public Information Center in Anchorage by 3 p.m. on August 11.
