Here is the complaint in Organized Village of Saxman v. Towarak (D. Alaska):
An excerpt:
This action seeks declaratory and injunctive relief under section 807 of the Alaska National Interests Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), 16 U.S.C. § 3117, to prevent the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture from implementing a 2007 final rule that administratively grouped the rural community of Saxman with the nonrural cvcommunity of Ketchikan. Only residents of communities identified by the Federal Subsistence Board (FSB) as rural are eligible for ANILCA’s subsistence priority. 50 C.F.R. 100.5 § (2013). By grouping Saxman with Ketchikan, the 2007 final rule removes Saxman’s rural status and effectively eliminates Saxman’s priority for subsistence uses set forth in ANILCA section 804, 16 U.S.C. § 3114, thus denying Saxman’s members continued access to the subsistence resources they depend on as a mainstay of their livelihood in violation of section 811 of ANILCA, 16 U.S.C. § 3121, and the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), 5 U.S.C. § 553, 706(2)(a),(d).
