                    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.
