would impinge upon subsistence resources or visually impact 

 local communities. Alternatively, harvesting near Native- 

 owned land might be encouraged to allow coordinated timber 

 development. Local communities and Native corporations 

 should be specifically invited to participate in Forest 

 Service planning and they should be notified of all plans 

 and actions relative to individual timber sales. Sealaska 

 recommends retaj.ning ANILCA's existing priority for 

 subsistence uses and, in addition, increasing the attention 

 given to fisheries resources, recreation and mining. 



Proposed sections 106 and 107 reflect these 

 recommendations. Section 106 adopts the monitoring and 

 reporting changes of S. 346. Section 107 is Sealaska 's 

 proposal for a specific Tongass management guideline.
