"ANCSA impacted the Fish and Wildlife Service by changing its Alaskan role from resource caretaker into active resource management, and by placing the Service among those assisting in settlement of Native land claims. Section 17 especially impacted the Service with the establishment of the Joint Federal-State Land Use Planning Commission with advisory responsibilities for federal systems in Alaska, selection of land for the State, easements, and National Interest Lands in Alaska. Section 22(f) regarding land exchanges for management or development of Alaskan lands, is also an impact. This booklet explains the National Interest Lands and the planing process for identifying new National Wildlife Refuges, Parks, Forests, and Wild and Scenic Rivers. It further discusses easements, transportation corridors, land selections, subsistence, and other areas under the Service's concern."1
