The Superintendent of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve is seeking nominations for new members to represent subsistence users on the Lake Clark National Park Subsistence Resource Commission (SRC). Nominations are being accepted through April 17, 2024. The SRC provides a venue for local subsistence users to have input into the management of subsistence resources in Lake Clark National Park. It was established under the provisions of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) and charged with recommending a program for subsistence hunting in the park.

The SRC prepares proposals to change federal subsistence regulations and comments on proposals submitted by others that affect Lake Clark National Park. Members are appointed by the Governor, the Secretary of the Interior, and Regional Advisory Councils. The nine-member SRC meets twice a year at various locations surrounding the park. Commission members serve as volunteers but may be reimbursed for their travel expenses. Initial appointments are typically for three-year terms and may be renewed. Members are expected to make every effort to attend all meetings. Currently, two Secretary of the Interior-appointed seats are vacant on the Lake Clark SRC, and two Governor of Alaska-appointed seats are vacant. For additional information about the nomination process, contact Liza Rupp, Subsistence Coordinator, at [phone] or via email at [e-mail].
