Alaska Land Transfer Acceleration Act

The Alaska Land Transfer Acceleration Act was a law passed on December 10, 2004.[1] It was an attempt to resolve the conflicting land claims of three groups in time for the fiftieth anniversary of Alaska's statehood in 2009. The sections were divided into titles.

Titles

Title I was an attempt to speed up the State selection process.

Title II was an attempt to finalize the Regional and Village Corporation land selections under ANCSA.

Title III. In 2003, it was estimated that the remaining pending allotment applications totaled 3,256 acres (13.18 km2) of land, approximately 1,100 acres (4.5 km2) of which were erroneously conveyed to the State or to Native Corporations, and so no longer belong to the United States.

Title IV. This stated the deadlines.

Title V. The act authorized the Secretary of the Interior to create a field office of DOI's Office of Hearings and Appeals in Alaska to handle disputes related to the Alaska land transfers.

Title VI. The act required the Secretary of the Interior, to deliver to Congress a report within three years of the bill's passage. The report had to detail the progress on the Alaska land transfers. Finally, the act made actions necessary in carrying out the Act legal.

gollark: I opened an instance to the internet for demo purposes, including to a bunch of esolang programmers, and it's actually overrun with self replicating notes now.
gollark: I have my own custom webapp for note taking which I never actually use. It's also stuck eternally at about 80% finished like all my programming projects.
