SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The site examined and found suitable for

Policy and Management Act of 1976 and 43 CFR 2920.0-6 is within Section
30, T. 19 S., R. 6 W., Fairbanks Meridian, Alaska, and is approximately
one (1) acre in area. An application to lease the site will be accepted
from only Ray Atkins to resolve an unauthorized use of public lands. An
existing cabin was constructed on site by Ray Atkins with the safety
concerns of many local residents in mind for use during harsh winter
conditions that are common for this area of Alaska. Intended to be
remote emergency shelter in times of need, the cabin will also be open
and available for general public use year-round, except when the
applicant will utilize the cabin in support of his guiding activities
in the area during a short period in the fall. Any comments and
application must include a reference to this notice. Fair market value
rent, as required in 43 CFR 2920.8 and as determined by Instruction
Memorandum AK-2005-028, will be collected for the use of these lands,
as well as reasonable administrative, processing, and monitoring costs
for processing the lease as required in 43 CFR 2920.6.
This determination was made upon completion of an Environmental
Assessment, recommending that a one-acre site, be leased to Ray Atkins
within Sec. 30, T. 19 S., R. 6 W., Fairbanks Meridian, Alaska, to
authorize the use and occupancy of public lands and thereby resolve an
unauthorized use(Authority: 43 CFR 2920.4(c)).

Field Office Manager, Glennallen Field Office.
