                    TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR
 
    CHAPTER II--BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR
 
PART 2650_ALASKA NATIVE SELECTIONS--Table of Contents
 
            Subpart 2650_Alaska Native Selections: Generally
 
Sec. 2650.5-4  Village surveys.

    (a) Only the exterior boundaries of contiguous entitlements for each 
village corporation will be surveyed. Where land within the outer 
perimeter of a selection is not selected, the boundaries along the area 
excluded shall be deemed exterior boundaries. The survey will be made 
after the total acreage entitlement of the village has been selected.
    (b) Surveys will be made within the village corporation selections 
to delineate those tracts required by law to be conveyed by the village 
corporations pursuant to section 14(c) of the Act.
    (c) (1) The boundaries of the tracts described in paragraph (b) of 
this section shall be posted on the ground and shown on a map which has 
been approved in writing by the affected village corporation and 
submitted to the Bureau of Land Management. Conflicts arising among 
potential transferees identified in section 14(c) of the Act, or between 
the village corporation and such transferees, will be resolved prior to 
submission of the map. Occupied lots to be surveyed will be those which 
were occupied as of December 18, 1971.
    (2) Lands shown by the records of the Bureau of Land Management as 
not having been conveyed to the village corporation will be excluded by 
adjustments on the map by the Bureau of Land Management. No surveys 
shall begin prior to final written approval of the map by the village 
corporation and the Bureau of Land Management. After such written 
approval, the map will constitute a plan of survey. Surveys will then be 
made in accordance with the plan of survey. No further changes will be 
made to accommodate additional section 14(c) transferees, and no 
additional survey work desired by the village corporation or 
municipality within the area covered by the plan of survey or 
immediately adjacent thereto will be performed by the Secretary.
