Sec. 9.3  Access permits.

    (a) All special use or other permits dealing with access to and from 
claims within any unit are automatically revoked 120 days after January 
26, 1977. All operators seeking new or continued access to and from a 
claim after that date must file for new access permits in accordance 
with these regulations, unless access to a mining claim is by pack 
animal or foot. (See Sec. 9.7 for restrictions on assessment work and 
Sec. 9.9(d) and Sec. 9.10(g) for extensions of permits.)
    (b) Prior to the issuance of a permit for access to any claim or 
claims, the operator must file with the Superintendent a plan of 
operations pursuant to Sec. 9.9. No permit shall be issued until the 
plan of operations has been approved in accordance with Sec. 9.10.
    (c) No access to claims outside a unit will be permitted across unit 
lands unless such access is by foot, pack animal, or designated road. 
Persons using such roads for access to such claims must comply with the 
terms of Sec. 9.15 where applicable.
    (d) In units of the National Park System in Alaska, regulations at 
43 CFR part 36 govern access to claims, and the provisions of 36 CFR 9.3 
(a), (b) and (c) are inapplicable.
