| Description |
For a variety of its own reasons not applicable to the Committee, the agency may implement all/most of the recommendations,
but few times recommendations are not implemented.
|
ANILCA, Title VIII, Section 805(c) requires the Federal Subsistence Board to consider and adopt the report and recommendations
of the Regional Advisory Council concerning the taking of wildlife within the region for subsistence on public lands. The
Board may choose not to follow a recommendation only if it determines the recommendation is not supported by substantial evidence,
violates recognized principles of fish and wildlife conservation, or would be detrimental to the satisfaction of subsistence
needs. Under this constraint, the Board generally adopts the Council's recommendations. In FY 2011 the Board has acted on
only the five fishery proposal recommendations. The Board meeting when the 21 wildlife recommendation will be considered occurs
in January 2012. The Board agreed with five of the six fishery recommendations and deferred the sixth back to the Council
for additional information and Tribal consultation.
