Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve; Use of Off-Road Vehicles for Subsistence Purposes by Residents of Anaktuvuk Pass

Official abstract: The National Park Service (NPS) proposes to amend special regulations for Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve (Gates) to establish a process by which the Superintendent can establish reasonable mitigation measures on the use of off-road vehicles (ORVs) for subsistence purposes by local rural residents of Anaktuvuk Pass, but only when such use is causing or likely to cause an adverse impact to public health and safety, resources, historic or scientific values, subsistence uses, or endangered or threatened species.
