内政部拟议新规：北极之门国家公园拟允许阿纳克图沃克帕斯居民用越野车从事自给活动 意见期至12月18日
阿拉斯加州费尔班克斯——美国内政部与国家公园管理局10月16日宣布一项拟议规则，拟允许符合资格的阿纳克图沃克帕斯（Anaktuvuk Pass）乡村居民，在北极之门国家公园与保护区内使用越野车从事合法的自给（subsistence）活动。拟议规则将于10月19日刊登《联邦公报》（文件号2026-21300，RIN 1024-AF12），此后开放60天公众意见期，意见须于12月18日美东时间晚11时59分前送达。
内政部表示，该提案落实内政部长道格·伯古姆（Doug Burgum）的指示，承认越野车是阿纳克图沃克帕斯居民为自给目的使用的传统交通方式，其依据是《阿拉斯加国家利益土地保护法》。伯古姆在声明中说，阿纳克图沃克帕斯的居民世代依靠阿拉斯加的土地与野生动物维系家庭与生活方式，特朗普政府致力于尊重阿拉斯加的独特传统，确保乡村社区能合理获取合法自给资源；该提案在维护北极之门非凡自然资源保护的同时，承认传统交通方式的重要性。
阿纳克图沃克帕斯是位于北极之门国家公园与保护区内的一处偏远社区，不与州公路系统相连。内政部指出，在国会设立该公园之前，当地居民即已使用越野车从事自给活动；上述阿拉斯加土地法要求内政部长保障人们合理获取自给资源。
按拟议规则，只有符合资格的当地乡村居民可为合法自给活动使用越野车；公园主管在必要时可对越野车造成的有害影响采取处置，以保护公园资源与价值。该规则仅适用于符合资格的自给用途，不授权休闲越野车使用。行使国家公园管理局局长受托职权的主计长杰西卡·鲍伦（Jessica Bowron）表示，尊重传统自给做法、确保乡村社区合理获取公园资源，是国家公园管理局使命的核心。北极之门公园主管马克·道尔（Mark Dowdle）表示，该拟议规则为基于自给的越野车使用提供了清晰框架，公园方面期待在规则制定过程中听取阿纳克图沃克帕斯居民与公众的意见。

Interior Proposes Rule Allowing Subsistence Off-Road Vehicle Use in Gates of the Arctic; Comments Due Dec. 18
FAIRBANKS, Alaska — The Department of the Interior and the National Park Service on Oct. 16 announced a proposed rule that would allow qualifying rural residents of Anaktuvuk Pass to use off-road vehicles for lawful subsistence activities in Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. The proposed rule will publish in the Federal Register on Oct. 19 (document No. 2026-21300, RIN 1024-AF12), followed by a 60-day public comment period ending at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Dec. 18.
The department said the proposal advances Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum's direction to recognize off-road vehicles as a traditional means of transportation used by Anaktuvuk Pass residents for subsistence purposes under the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. Burgum said the people of Anaktuvuk Pass have for generations relied on access to Alaska's lands and wildlife to sustain their families and way of life, and that the proposal recognizes traditional transportation methods while maintaining protections for the park's natural resources.
Anaktuvuk Pass is a remote community inside the park and preserve that is not connected to the state road system. Residents used off-road vehicles for subsistence activities before Congress established the park, and the Alaska lands act directs the Secretary to ensure reasonable access to subsistence resources.
Under the proposal, only eligible local rural residents could use off-road vehicles for lawful subsistence activities, and the superintendent could address harmful impacts when necessary to protect park resources and values. The rule applies only to qualifying subsistence use and does not authorize recreational off-road vehicles. Comments may be submitted on Regulations.gov by searching for RIN 1024-AF12, or by mail to the Superintendent, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, 101 Dunkel St., Suite 110, Fairbanks, AK 99701.
