Title: Analysis of laws governing access across federal lands. Options for access in Alaska. Vol. 1

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5261862

This report contains information derived from an Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) assessment of the effects of federal laws, policies, and practices on access through federal to non-federal lands. It makes available the results of an analysis of the issues associated with the legal aspects of access, and presents a range of options dealing with access through Alaska lands. The information contained in this report is relevant to congressional deliberations about Alaska lands called for by section 17(d)(2) of the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA), and particularly to the use of Alaska conservation lands for purposes of access to non-federal mineral-bearing lands. This report focuses on two topics: the access provisions of federal laws, and options for congressional consideration that deal with the process of obtaining access across federal lands in Alaska.
