Sec. 2653.2  Application procedures.

    (a) All applications must be filed in accordance with the procedures 
in Sec. 2650.2(a) of this chapter.
    (b) Applications by corporations of Native groups under section 
14(h)(2) and by a Native for a primary place of residence under section 
14(h)(5) of the Act must be accompanied by written concurrence of the 
affected regional corporation. In the case of Native groups, such 
concurrence must also indicate how much land per member of the Native 
group, not to exceed 320 acres per member, the regional corporation 
recommends that the Secretary convey. Any application not accompanied by 
the necessary concurrence and recommendation of the affected region will 
be rejected.
    (c) Native groups, and Natives residing in Sitka, Kenai, Juneau, and 
Kodiak, as provided in sections 14(h) (2) and (3), respectively, must 
comply with the applicable terms of Sec. 2650.2(a), (c), (d), (e), and 
(f) of this chapter.
    (d) The filing of an application under the regulations of this 
section will constitute a request for withdrawal of the lands, and will 
segregate the lands from all other forms of appropriation under the 
public land laws, including the mining and mineral leasing laws, and 
from selection under the Alaska Statehood Act, as amended, subject to 
valid existing rights, but will not segregate the lands from selections 
under section 12 or 16 of the Act. The segregative effect of such an 
application will terminate if the application is rejected.
