Summary
Federal lands added to or expanded as park units by this Act are taken out of use for claiming, selling, or leasing under federal public land laws. That means no new mining claims, mineral leases, or future land selections by the State of Alaska or Native Corporations are allowed. Existing valid rights remain in place, and any other exceptions written in the Act still apply.
