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.
